Find the shortest path from where you are to a usable result.
Three short paths — pick the one that matches how you already think about markets. Each one ends at a single, concrete next step inside Traseq.
Pick the path that fits your starting point
Backtesting basics, in plain language
What a backtest actually answers, what the numbers mean, and which results to trust before risking real money.
Turn what you see on the chart into rules
If you can describe an entry, an exit, and a risk limit in one sentence, you can build it in Traseq without writing a line of code.
Use Traseq from code or an AI assistant
You write the strategy; Traseq checks it, saves it, runs the backtest, and returns the result. Strategies use one format everywhere — SignalGraph v2 — so what you build in code matches what the no-code editor produces.
