Research and run rule-based crypto strategies

Is your edge real?
See for yourself.

Turn your trading rules into

Scale your trading without spending more of your time.

Every rule readable, every trade run exactly as you set it up.

Start for free How it works

7 days free, no card

More strategies tested. More trades managed. Less time at the screen.

Systematic

Also known as rule-based trading.

Turn more ideas into tested strategies without spending years building the infrastructure around them.

Drop weak ideas in one evening. The backtest charges fees, funding and slippage, then checks the result on history the optimizer never saw.
Stop maintaining your own stack. Data, backtester, optimizer and the running strategy are in one place. Only the bot that places orders stays on your machine.
Run what you tested. Backtest and live share one engine, and the Execution Log shows where they differ.
Grow to 30 strategies at once. Trader runs 5 and Pro runs 30, with size and leverage computed from your risk.

Chart-based

Also known as discretionary trading.

Analyse, enter, hand the trade over. Hold more trades than you could ever manage yourself.

Stop watching charts all day. Build and start a strategy with your entry and exit rules, and get an alert when the entry rules match.
Every entry stays your decision. You check the chart, enter, and link the trade to the strategy.
Step away from open trades. One switch hands a strategy to the bot on your machine, and stops, take-profits and exits follow your rules day and night. Leave it off and each step comes as an alert you act on yourself. Turn it on for one trade or for good, and off at any time.
Keep linked trades on record. Each one goes into your journal.

Free for 7 days: build the strategy and test it on history. Live alerts and linked trades start on the Trader plan.

An entry is not a strategy.

It is only the first step. Seven more decide how the trade is managed:

EntryStop-lossTake-profitsTrailing stopEarly exitBreak-evenSkip rulesDynamic risk

Any of them can be driven by an indicator.

And the work does not end at launch:

ResearchTradeLearnImprove

You trade the exact strategy you tested. The Execution Log shows every live fill next to what the test expected. What you learn goes into the next version of the rules.

One definition instead of four implementations.

A strategy is usually rebuilt for every tool: Pine for the idea, Python for the backtest, a bot config for live, a spreadsheet for the journal. The versions drift apart. Here the backtester, the optimizer, the bot and the journal read one definition. Change it in one place, and every tool sees the change.

From idea to a decision in 4 steps

Build the strategy from rules

Pick indicators, set the entry and exit rules, add a stop-loss and take-profits. Every rule stays readable.

See what it makes after real costs

The backtest charges your exchange fee, funding and slippage. You see every trade, 20 metrics and the drawdowns you could face.

Find parameters that hold up

The optimizer tries thousands of combinations and tests the winner on history it never saw. A strategy that only fits the past fails here, before it reaches your account.

Run the same strategy live

Assistant mode sends you the signal and you place the order. Auto mode runs an open-source app on your machine around the clock. Both run the definition you tested.

Start free. Pay when you see what works.

The Free plan gives you 7 days to build and test your first strategy. Running strategies live takes a paid plan: Trader runs 5 at once, Pro runs 30 and adds the strategy portfolio.

Multi-timeframe entry conditions, stop-loss, multiple take-profits, trailing stop, early exit, move to break-even, dynamic risk management and trade-skip rules. Progress saves at every step.

On perps, funding alone can eat the whole profit — here it is part of every simulated trade. Side-by-side comparison and an Out-of-Sample period separate real edge from a lucky streak.

The stress test shows how robust the strategy is and the probability of losses in live trading.

Breakdown by volatility, trend, volume, momentum and trading session: the exact conditions where the strategy earns and where it loses, with concrete recommendations for improvement.

Sweeps combinations of entries, stops, take-profits, break-even moves, early exits and skip rules. The out-of-sample split keeps the strategy from memorizing history.

Technical indicators and their complex variations (divergences, slopes); AI reads the news and aligns it with the chart by release time; liquidity, the dollar index, inflation and the U.S. economy; an extended order book with filtering.

Risk is configured per strategy; the potential loss is known before you enter the trade.

Days of the week and hours are set for each strategy individually.

Ask Betelgeuse to build a strategy, test an idea or explain a result. It points out the weak spot and stops when the evidence does not hold up. Comes with Trader and Pro, with a free monthly minimum of tokens. On Pro it also works with our research knowledge base.

Assistant: read-only keys, prompts via Telegram, email or browser — when to move a stop, take profit or react to the news. Automatic: an open-source app on your own computer (Windows / macOS / Linux) or a server, where a single command does the whole setup (Docker, from $4/mo). Any difficulty or question — we’ll help.

How the backtester ran the trade, what notifications were sent, and what was actually executed. If you deviated from the plan, you see whether it helped or hurt you.

On each candle: what happened, the indicator values and the news released at that moment. You see why a trade worked or failed.

The strategy is re-run across other coins to separate a working rule set from a coincidence on a single chart.

Combined equity curve, correlations between strategies, drawdown compensation — and each strategy’s real execution tracked individually.

Optimization runs on a dedicated server at full speed; setup and configuration take up to three business days.

Developed to your specification; available only to your account.

Your subscription grants access to software tools. VESKALD does not provide investment services and does not guarantee trading results.

Two decisions that shape everything else.

Both were made before the product existed, and every feature since then has had to fit them.

See why every trade was taken or skipped

If a number surprises you, you have to be able to find out why it came out that way.

The backtest only takes trades you could actually open on the exchange. If the balance is below the exchange’s minimum order, the entry is skipped. Your own skip rules can skip it too, for example “no entry on an RSI divergence”.

Your strategy, your signals, your executor

The signal is yours over the socket, execution is yours, and the rules stay yours as readable conditions that work outside our platform.

Between the signal and the exchange you can put your own filter, model or executor.

You get the test, the run on unseen data and the Monte Carlo spread. You make the decision.

Exchange connections

You pick the exchange for each strategy, and several strategies can run side by side from one account. Market data comes over the exchange API.

Frequently asked questions

Who is VESKALD for?

Two kinds of traders.

If you trade systematically and research your own strategies:

VESKALD gets you from an idea to evidence you can check faster.
The strategy you test is the one you launch.
There are no research tools of your own to build.

If you enter from the chart when you see your setup:

You set the entry and exit rules.
A signal comes in, you weigh it against your own experience and place the order.
Then you link the trade to the strategy, and the bot runs it by your exit rules until it closes. Without the bot, each step comes as an alert.
That is how you keep more trades open at once than you could watch yourself.

Trader runs 5 strategies, Pro runs 30.

Will my live results match the backtest?

Close, but not to the cent.

The live run uses the same rules and price data, and the test already charges fees, funding and slippage.

On trades up to $300, entry price, slippage and costs land within 0.5% of the test. The Execution Log shows each difference.

Do I need to know how to code?

You build strategies as explicit rules, so no strategy code is needed.

Pick indicators and conditions.
Combine them with AND/OR.
Add filters from other timeframes.

If an indicator is missing, ask for it and we build it for everyone.

Can I start from a ready strategy?

Yes. The library holds strategies we research and publish ourselves, with the logic open.

Pick a strategy.
See its tests.
Change it or run it as is.

You work on a copy, so the original stays intact.

Can I check a strategy I bought somewhere?

Yes, if you know its rules.

Rebuild them in the builder, then run the full check:

Real costs
Unseen data
Monte Carlo
Other assets

How is my exchange account protected?

VESKALD asks only for a read-only key, which lets it see positions and balances.

Orders are placed by the open-source app on your own machine, with trading keys that stay there.

The full setup is on the Security page.

What happens after the 7 free days?

When a strategy is ready to go live, switch to Trader or Pro.

The 7 days include:

3 strategies
Backtest with Monte Carlo and cluster analysis
50 optimizer combinations
Market report

No card needed. The VESKALD AI agent comes with Trader and Pro.

Which exchanges are supported?

Stable today: Binance, Bybit, Kraken, KuCoin, Hyperliquid.

In development: OKX, Coinbase.

If you need another exchange (Bitget, BingX, dYdX and others), write to us. We usually add it in 1-3 weeks.

How is the optimizer different from my manual grid search?

The algorithm tries thousands of combinations, while manual search covers the 10-20 you have time for.

It ranks them by how smooth the equity curve is, so one lucky trade cannot win.

It searches on one part of the history, and the part it never saw tests the result afterwards.

Can I add my own indicator?

Ask for it and we build it into the platform for everyone, so every strategy stays readable and testable.

The library already has 100+ indicators and candlestick patterns, from RSI to Smart Money Concepts.

Your own code can run after the signal, in the open-source bot or your own executor.

Can I connect VESKALD to my own systems?

Yes, on Trader and above.

Each strategy streams its events over a WebSocket to an endpoint you register. Put your own filter or model before the order, or replace the open-source bot with your own executor.

Strategy files have no one-click export, and the rules stay readable conditions you can rebuild anywhere.

How often do updates ship?

Releases ship 1-2 times a month.

Active users shape the roadmap, and requests from tickets go into the work.

The latest major release is the VESKALD AI agent, Betelgeuse, which researches strategies with you.

Who can read my strategies?

With two-key encryption on, only you.

Strategies are stored encrypted in the VESKALD database, where backtests and the optimizer run.

Two-key encryption is one switch in your account settings. After that, nobody opens a strategy without your key, the VESKALD team included.

Where is my data stored?

On servers in the EU (Hetzner, Germany).

GDPR applies in full, details are in the Privacy Policy. Strategy encryption with a two-key scheme is available for your trading logic.

Do you use my strategies or backtests to train your AI or build your own strategies?

Your strategies are used only to run the service for you: backtests, optimization and launch.

The public template library comes from our own research agent. On Pro, Betelgeuse reads that knowledge base with you and writes nothing back.

With two-key encryption on, nobody reads a strategy without your key, us included.

Reviews on Trustpilot

“The project works well with the market and helps build a flexible strategy for futures trading in the crypto market. As for the downsides, I would mention the interface — at first, it does not seem very clear, so it takes some time to figure it out. But overall, the project left a positive impression.”

Igor Masik · Trustpilot

“The platform is new but already offers features that are hard to find on similar resources. + Everything in one place, a trial, flexible customization and AI. - It’s a young startup. I liked it and have started using it.”

Risk Disclosure

Trading crypto-asset derivatives, including perpetual futures, involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every market participant. VESKALD provides software tools for building and testing trading strategies and for executing them through an app on the user’s own machine. This is not investment advice, not asset management, and not a guarantee of trading results. Past backtest performance does not predict future returns.
