Common Challenges

  • Backtests look great, live trading fails

    Slippage, timing, and real market conditions destroy your backtest results

  • You cannot track real vs. expected performance

    No easy way to compare live results against your backtest predictions

  • Paper trading tools are limited

    Most platforms have weak simulation with unrealistic fills

  • Going live is terrifying without validation

    You're risking real capital without proof the strategy works in live markets
