Build
Compose entries, exits and guards visually, or start from a blueprint.
The full journey
From idea to live
in four stages.
No scripting, no black box. You build the idea, the lab proves it on real data, you watch it trade on paper, then you send it to your own account when you are ready. Here is each stage.
Backtest
Run years of real metals data in minutes. The honest numbers, drawdown first.
Forward test
Paper trade it live on a 15 second tick, in a market it has never seen.
Send to Connector
Arm it on your own MT5 or OANDA account. Your broker, your control.
01
Build the idea.
Drop in an indicator, set the condition that arms it, choose what the trigger does. Plain-English blocks, not code. Stuck for a starting point? Fork one of fifteen blueprints, or ask Lyra to assemble it for you and fill in the form.

Backtest: 412 trades · profit factor 1.91 · drawdown -6.8%
02
Prove it on real data.
Pick a date range and run. The engine replays years of real gold, silver, platinum and palladium candles in minutes and hands back the figures that decide whether a strategy is real, with the max drawdown leading, not buried.

03
Watch it in the wild.
A backtest tells you how a strategy would have done. A forward test shows you how it does now, on candles it has never seen, with no money at stake.
Live on a 15 second tick
The same engine that ran your backtest now paper-trades in real time, so the behaviour you see is the behaviour you will get.
No money at risk
Forward testing is free and paper-only. Run it for as long as it takes to trust the strategy before you ever connect an account.
The same numbers, carried forward
Win rate, profit factor and drawdown keep updating live, so a strong backtest has to keep earning it in the open market.
04
Send it live, on your terms.
When you trust it, send it to a Connector. Most accounts are lost to emotion, not strategy: the hesitation, the revenge trade, the doubled-down loser. Sent to your Connector, the strategy you proved is exactly the strategy that trades. No fear, no greed, no second-guessing at 2am. And it stays your account, we never hold your money.
MT5 Connector

OANDA Direct
Connect an OANDA account with a token and trade live with no MetaTrader at all. No installs, no terminals, nothing left running.
Monitor and disconnect
Watch every trade from the lab and disconnect any time. Your broker executes, you stay in control of the account throughout.
