Research tools that keep the assumptions in view.

The useful part

Strategies

The point of a strategy test is not to manufacture certainty. It is to make the rules and the trade-offs concrete enough to inspect.

01

Start from a real hypothesis

Use research-backed, portfolio, technical, and FearAlert research templates as a starting point. Inspect the evidence, universe, and assumptions before changing a rule.

02

Keep each version inspectable

Save the definition behind an idea instead of relying on a screenshot or a spreadsheet. Strategy versions preserve the rules that produced a run.

03

Compare the result honestly

Review return, drawdown, trades, equity, fees, slippage, and data warnings in one result instead of judging a strategy by return alone.

A calmer workflow

From a market idea to a reviewable record.

FearAlert keeps research, decisions, and outcomes close enough to learn from without pretending the process is certain.

01

Describe the setup

Create a strategy from indicator conditions, a template, or a plain-English starting point. Set the asset, capital, sizing, exits, and risk controls.

02

Forward-test the process

Run the same definition as a paper test with current market data. Paper testing is evaluated once per UTC day and does not place live orders.

Questions, answered

Know what the tool does before you use it.

What can I paper-test in FearAlert?

FearAlert paper-tests indicator-based strategy definitions with current market data. You can configure entries, exits, position sizing, contributions, stop loss, take profit, fees, and slippage.

Does paper testing place trades with my broker?

No. Paper tests are simulations. They do not enable alerts, connect to a broker, or place orders. Actual results can differ materially because of data quality, costs, slippage, and market conditions.

Use the process, not the noise

Test the idea while it is still an idea.
