Strategy Lab
Develop, backtest, optimize, compare, validate, promote.
Product overview
One application. The whole trading workflow.
TigerTradeBot brings strategy development, testing, automation, risk management, and reporting into a single self-hosted application — connected to the brokers you already use. It's a desktop app on macOS and a local web app in your browser on Windows and Linux.
Architecture
Runs on your machine — not ours
There is no TigerTradeBot cloud between you and your broker. The application talks to broker APIs directly from your computer, and your strategies and trade history live in local databases on your computer that you can back up with the app's Backup & Restore page.

Use cases
Built for how individual traders actually work
Learning to trade systematically
Move from gut-feel to a written, testable process. Paper trade it, journal it, and let the data tell you what’s working.
Automating a proven manual routine
If you already follow rules, encode them. The bot executes your rules consistently — no fatigue, no hesitation, no revenge trades.
Testing ideas before risking capital
Backtest against history, then forward-test in simulation. Most ideas fail cheaply here instead of expensively in your account.
Small-account discipline
Daily loss limits, position sizing caps, and a kill switch enforce the rules you set on the days you’d be tempted to break them.

Where it fits
How TigerTradeBot compares
A capability comparison — not a performance claim. No tool decides whether your strategy is good; these differences decide how you get to find out.
