Backtesting is a method for seeing how well an investment strategy might have performed historically. Backtesting assesses the viability of a quantitative strategy by discovering how it would play out using data. If backtesting works, investors may have the confidence to employ it going forward. Backtesting simulates a strategy as if it were used at the time.

STRATxAI backtests over the last two decades to ensure the long-term performance of the investment strategies provided. We have in-house quantitative architecture and use Factset as our data provider, providing us with 116 gigabytes of global financial information, across 326 exchanges, going back to 1980.

There are a few important factors/biases that should be addressed and accounted for when building a backtester. Those are:

  1. Point-in-time Data
  2. Survivorship Bias
  3. Bid-offer Spreads and Fees
  4. Cost model
  5. Impact model
  6. Inaccurate Price Simulation

Rebalancing your portfolio is an important part of managing your investments. Rebalancing means buying and selling positions in your portfolio to get back to your original asset allocation. When one asset class significantly outperforms another, your portfolio drifts from its starting allocation. The quality of the quantitative signal also deteriorates over time and needs to be refreshed.

For stock-pickers, this can be a laborious process. However for quants this process is very structured and replicable.

Every quant strategy has a rebalance period (usually every month); when rebalance is due you will be notified by email, but should make a point of logging in yourself frequently.

At rebalance, you will see the list of stocks/shares/ETFs to buy/sell and can execute these Manually or can send those orders to your connected broker with the click of a button.

You can get started with STRTATxAI without having any funds to invest. Using 1-click paper you can discover what it is like to invest in any of the pre-built strategies, using a hypothetical $10k. Watch the real time performance of your portfolio and enjoy 1-click rebalancing in a simulated trading environment.

Once you are ready to create a stock or ETF portfolio with your stockbroker, you can execute a Manual trade or a Live trade if you are connected.

The minimum investment amount varies per strategy as the exact screen of stocks and their stock prices changes from moment to moment. In a stock strategy there are usually 15-20 stocks to buy for your diversified portfolio which will usually require you to have $1000 - $2000 available in your stockbroker account.


Paper trading is the practice of simulated trading so that investors can practise buying and selling securities without the involvement of real money.

You have two options to paper trade with STRATxAI:

STRATxAI  1-Click Paper*

Using 1-click paper you can discover what it is like to invest in your investment strategies, using a hypothetical $10,000. Watch the real time performance of your portfolio and enjoy 1-click rebalancing in a simulated trading environment.

*This is available to all users of Beginner, Established and Xplorer and would not contribute towards plan trading limits.

IBKR Paper broker account**

Connect users with Interactive Broker accounts can integrate as many sub accounts as they like. This includes their IBKR paper account. You can test all the capabilities of STRATxAI integration and simulated investing of $1,000,000 hypothetical funds in your IBKR account.

**Note that this would be identified as Live Trading with STRATxAI and would require a user to be signed up with Established or Explorer and have augmented their core plan with Connect. All trading limits would apply.

(Paper Trading is not offered by Alpaca Markets)

Dollar-cost averaging (DCA) is an investment strategy where you invest a set amount of money at a specified time interval. This results in the reduced impact of volatility of a particular asset on your overall investment. Dollar-cost averaging removes the high risk of attempting to predict the purchase and sale of selected assets at their best prices.
