A calmer way to trade
A strategy is not a system until it can repeat without you.
The setup can be clear and still get missed. The rules can be written and still get overridden. And an idea can feel convincing long before the evidence supports it.
TradeLab turns “I think this works” into a process you can inspect.
Pressure changes decisions in the moment.
A defined system helps separate the plan you made from the feeling you have now.
Conviction is not the same as evidence.
Backtests and paper trading give your idea a chance to fail safely before live deployment.
The proof-first workflow
Go live last.
Learn at every step.
TradeLab keeps the full journey in one workspace, so the strategy you describe stays connected to the rules you test and the system you choose to run.
01
DescribeStart with the idea in your head.
Explain the setup in plain English. TradeLab asks the questions that turn a loose concept into explicit entry, exit, timing, and risk rules.
02
DefineReview the system before it runs.
Inspect the generated strategy, choose sizing and timeframes, set your parameters, and keep control of every important decision.
03
TestLet the evidence challenge the idea.
Backtest historical behavior, inspect individual trades, and measure win rate, profit factor, P&L, and maximum drawdown.
04
DeployPractice first. Go live only if you choose.
Connect Alpaca, start with paper trading, monitor the strategy, and decide when—or whether—it deserves live capital.
The platform
See what is happening at every stage.
No black box and no handoff to a developer. TradeLab surfaces the questions, rules, test results, connection state, and strategy controls that matter.

The connected advantage
Stop managing the gaps between five different tools.
A disconnected workflow creates more places for context, rules, and confidence to get lost. TradeLab keeps learning, building, testing, deployment, and monitoring attached to the same strategy.

Proof over promises
Built for traders with a life beyond the charts.
Customer experiences are their own and do not guarantee trading outcomes.
I've spent the last week shopping from platform to platform… not a single one came out of the gates swinging like this one. No other platform had anything like it.
Jerry wanted his strategy working while he was.
An emergency-room physician working long days, Jerry needed a way to translate his trading ideas into automation without taking him away from his patients.
Watch Jerry's storyShawn came back for a second automated system.
After selling his business and trading more actively, Shawn wanted an honest team and a simpler process. He described the experience as streamlined, fast, and easy.

“TradeLab is a game-changer. It seamlessly automates my trading strategies quickly and efficiently, saving me hours of manual work.”— Thomas T., customer review
Tim YslavaFounder & CEO, Archaide
Why TradeLab exists
Built from the pain of trying to do everything manually.
Tim was balancing a demanding product role, a business, and responsibility for his family's portfolio. The pressure of trying to execute every rule at the right moment made one thing clear: a good process should not depend on constant attention.
He learned to code and built the automation he needed. That work grew into a quantitative development agency serving professional traders, entrepreneurs, family offices, and hedge funds.
TradeLab is the product he wished existed then: a professional process for turning ideas into testable, controllable systems— accessible through conversation.
Our beliefProfessional-grade process should not be reserved for people who can code or hire a quant team.

Questions, answered
Healthy skepticism belongs in every trading process.
Use the trial to inspect the product and decide if the workflow fits the way you want to trade.
Does TradeLab tell me what to buy or sell?
No. TradeLab is a research and user-directed automation platform, not a signal service or financial adviser. You create, review, and control each strategy. AI-generated outputs should always be reviewed before use.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You can describe a strategy in plain English, answer the AI’s follow-up questions, and manage the generated rules in a visual workspace. The Knowledge Hub also includes guided material for beginner, intermediate, and experienced traders.
Can I test without risking real money?
Yes. TradeLab brings historical backtesting and automated paper trading into the same workflow, so you can study past behavior and forward-test execution before deciding whether to use live capital.
Which broker does TradeLab connect to?
TradeLab currently connects with Alpaca. You can add paper or live credentials, and your available assets and features depend on your Alpaca account, permissions, and region.
What can I build?
The workspace supports configurable spot and options strategies across the assets available in your connected Alpaca account. You can set symbols, sizing, timeframes, entry and exit logic, and strategy-specific parameters.
Is automated trading risk-free?
No. Trading involves substantial risk, and backtests do not predict future results. TradeLab helps you define, test, execute, and monitor your own rules more consistently; it cannot remove market, technology, or configuration risk.
