The Trainer
Iris and her agent panelSet a goal and a budget. Iris and her panel of agents evolve your strategy lap by lap, hunting for variants that survive.
One agent on the panel exists purely to veto lucky passes.
The whole lab
Everything you need
to forge a strategy
worth trading.
Design it without code, prove it on years of real gold and metals data, let an AI panel try to break it, then run the exact strategy you proved live on your own account. One engine from first idea to live trade.
Design without
writing code.
Visual Builder
Compose entries, exits and guards as plain-English building blocks: indicators, conditions, triggers. No scripting, no MQL, no syntax to learn.
Guided wizards
Prefer a form to a canvas? Each strategy archetype has a wizard that asks the right questions and compiles to the same engine underneath.
Fifteen blueprints
Start from a proven shape, from session breakouts to liquidity sweeps. Fork it, bend it, make it yours.
Gold and metals
Purpose-built for XAU, XAG, XPT and XPD. The instruments, sessions and spreads that actually matter to a metals trader.
Prove it on the
honest numbers.
A pass should mean something. Backtest, forward test and live trading all run on one engine, so the numbers you tested are the numbers you trade.
Years of real data, in minutes
Run a strategy across years of real gold, silver, platinum and palladium candles and get win rate, profit factor and drawdown back in minutes.
Drawdown first, always
Every report leads with max drawdown, before any profit number. If a strategy only looks good in the highlights reel, it is not ready.
Forward test on a live tick
Paper trade it on a 15 second tick and watch it behave in a market it has never seen, before a penny is at risk.
Risk controls built
for funded accounts.
Most of our traders are passing evaluations and protecting funded accounts. The engine treats that as a first-class way to trade, with guards a general strategy builder does not give you.
Trailing stops and break-even
Tighten the stop behind the high-water mark once a trade runs, or move remaining legs to break-even after the first target hits.
Daily caps
Cap trades per day and losses per day. When a limit is hit, no new entries are taken, the discipline a desk expects, enforced automatically.
No-trade windows
Sit out news, the daily rollover or quiet sessions with time-of-day blackout windows. Open trades keep being managed; new ones simply wait.
Spread filter and force close
Skip entries when the spread blows out, and hard-close everything at a session time so nothing is left running into the weekend.
ATR and level-anchored exits
Size stops and targets as multiples of volatility, or anchor them to a structure level or the signal candle wick, per side.
Drawdown circuit breaker
An optional overlay that quietly reduces position size through a losing streak and restores it once the wins return, never skipping trades, only sizing them.
An AI panel that argues
with your strategy.
Lyra
Your lab assistantThe assistant who knows every feature, every setting and your own presets. Ask her anything, she fills the forms.
Make the London session version of this, tighter stop.
Done. I forked it, set the window to 08:00 to 11:00 and halved the stop. Want me to run the backtest?
Go live on your
own account.
Forge Strategy Lab never holds your money. Connect your own account, send a proven strategy to it, monitor every trade from the lab, disconnect any time. Your broker executes, we never touch your funds.
MT5 Connector
For MetaTrader 5 accounts, including prop firm evaluations. One install trades every strategy you arm.
OANDA Direct
Connect an OANDA account with a token and trade live with no MetaTrader at all. No installs, no terminals, no hardware left running.
More adapters
The Connector layer is built to grow. New venues land here as they are proven.
Start from
a proven shape.
Fifteen strategy blueprints, every one compiling to the same engine. Fork it, bend it, make it yours.
Honest about what
is not built yet.
We would rather tell you what the engine cannot do today than let you find out mid-evaluation. These are the most common asks still on the roadmap.
News calendar filter
Blocking trades around high-impact economic events. Pull from ForexFactory / MyFxBook feed, gate in Runtime.
Partial exits at non-fixed-pip anchors
e.g. "close 30% at FVG midpoint, 40% at structure level, 30% trail". Engine has 3 fixed legs with separate TPs; tying per-leg lot fractions to event conditions is not built.
Multi-symbol confluence
e.g. DXY confluence on gold; reading non-metals as cross-confirmation inside a single preset.
Multi-direction single preset
One preset firing both long and short on the same bar for hedging.
Position scaling / pyramiding
Adding legs as a trade runs in profit. Not built (legs are 3 at open, no add-ons).
