There is no one to ask.

Learn algo trading by testing your own ideas

You do not need to code, download data or know a trading API to start. Describe an idea, see how it would have done after every cost, ask the Copilot why, and paper-trade it. The Lab keeps the first steps free of risk and says so when the evidence is thin.

Illustration: a sample strategy, not a result.

A first week that makes sense

A path that gets you from a thought to a tested idea without a wall of setup.

Start from an example or a sentence

Six ready-made strategies open as editable rules, or write the idea in plain words and let the Copilot draft it.

Run a backtest

Pick a few coins and a period. The price in credits is shown first.

Read the verdict

It says whether the strategy made money broadly, in some conditions only, or too rarely to tell, and how strong the evidence is.

Ask why

Every result has an “Ask why” button. The Copilot explains what happened in plain language.

Paper-trade it

Before you think about real money.

What you do not need

Code

The builder, the canvas and the Copilot cover the common ground. Python is optional.

Data

The Lab already has years of 1-minute data for 900 Binance perpetuals.

Capital

Backtests and paper trading do not use real money.

A subscription

Building is free, and you pay in credits only for the work you run.

Guardrails for people still learning

Beginners most often lose money by trusting one pretty backtest, using too much leverage, or never testing outside the period they tuned on. The Lab leans against each of those: costs are charged in every run, the evidence meter and verdict call out thin results, the optimizer validates on a holdout, and the liquidation guard and leverage audit put the risk of leverage in front of you.

It will not promise that a strategy works. Read more in why backtests lie and learning algo trading with AI.

Beginner questions

Do I need to know how to trade first?

It helps to have an idea, even a rough one. You do not need to know how to build a bot. The Copilot helps turn the idea into rules and explains the results.

How much money do I need?

None to start. Backtests and paper trading do not use real money. They use credits, and building strategies is free.

Is it safe for a beginner?

The Lab is built to slow you down before real money: paper first, live only by your explicit approval, and risk figures shown before you run. Trading leveraged crypto can still lose money quickly, and nothing here is advice.
