The complete program guide, the same one built into AniQuant: how to build, validate and take trading strategies to your broker without programming.
Data & indicators
Everything starts here: with no data there is nothing to test. File → Import data… opens a three-step wizard that looks at your file and works out how it is…
The data you research with, in one place: the symbol, the timeframe, the period and the out-of-sample reserve. With a single 1-minute file you can work on 1…
An indicator turns the price series into a number that summarizes how the market is behaving. AniQuant computes the indicator for every bar and generates…
One single place for everything to do with indicators: looking up what each one does and deciding the values it starts from. Open it from Indicators…
A candlestick pattern recognizes a shape (or sequence of shapes) in the candles and returns 1 when it appears and 0 when it does not. They are therefore…
In quantitative work on candlesticks, context matters more than the pattern: a Hammer on its own is worth little; a Hammer at a 20-day low, oversold and on…
A filter is a fixed condition, chosen by you, that narrows down when trading is allowed: you only enter if the market is in the regime you want (with the…
Building strategies
The threshold is the number the indicator is compared against. It can be fixed or an optimization range: AniQuant tries every value in the range as a…
On top of the TP/SL you can define indicator conditions that close the position. They are optional; if you define none, the system uses TP/SL alone.
Every indicator with a period range is expanded into concrete instances. If there are several sources, one instance is created for each source × period…
The Mode selector (top panel of the Mass Test) decides how the combination space is searched. When the space is small it is worth trying all of it; when it…
The candlestick chart takes any indicator in the catalogue, as in TradingView. Click Indicators in the top bar (or press /) and type what you are looking…
The ranking criterion decides which strategies make it into the top N during the Mass Test. It is not just about sorting: the criterion decides which ones…
Save complete Mass Test configurations as JSON files so you can reuse them at any time, including the best result obtained as a reference.
The market does not fill you at the price you see. Between sending your order and getting filled, price moves —almost always against you—, and that…
It opens from Strategies → AQL code editor… It solves a specific problem: without it, a strategy could only be defined through the combinations of the Mass…
AniQuant translates any concrete strategy for six trading platforms, with the code ready to paste. The export starts from the actions menu of any strategy…
Validation & robustness
A strategy that only wins with "CCI of 7 and an exit after 10 bars", and loses with 6 or 11, has not found anything: it has found a coincidence of the past…
The standard method, the same one AmiBroker uses. Each simulation draws as many trades as you have, from the real ones and with repetition: a good trade may…
Each trade is classified on its entry bar along four axes. Each axis is measured as a percentile against the previous 500 bars (the past only: what was…
It opens from the Portfolio → Survival Test… menu. It puts one or several SPECIFIC strategies through a battery of robustness tests and issues a single…
It opens from the Portfolio → Walk-Forward… menu. This is Walk-Forward of the process: on every In-Sample window it re-optimizes (running the Mass Test…
It opens by right clicking the Mass Test → 🧪 Analyze the sweep's overfitting… grid. Unlike the Survival Test (which judges one strategy), here the whole…
It re-tests one or several Portfolio strategies across many timeframes at once (say from 1 to 240 minutes) to answer the key robustness question: does the…
The most complete AI report. Instead of sending off one isolated study, the 360 gathers EVERY study on a strategy into a single, homogeneous report — and…
AniQuant connects to the Claude API (Anthropic) to interpret your studies. It generates no signals and places no trades: it reads the metrics you have…
Almost everything AniQuant does ends in a table sorted from best to worst, and a table like that hides the most important thing: how the results are spread…
Edge discovery
The Lab combines conditions blind (an odometer of millions of combinations). The Scanner does the opposite: it measures the statistical edge of EVERY single…
It opens from Strategies → AQ Pattern Miner. It is the only module in AniQuant that uses neither indicators nor rules: it takes the shape of the last few…
The other modules search for strategies. AQ Mentor does the opposite: it learns from you. You mark on the chart the entries that look ideal to you and it…
The Scanner finds edges; the Library remembers them. Every edge you file away is saved with its full genome — its DNA, its history, its recipe — so you can…
It opens from Strategies → 🧺 AQ Genesis. You give it a Symbol and a Direction (Long / Short / L+S), press START and it sets off researching on its own…
Market study
It opens from Market → Seasonal Analysis… It breaks the instrument's candle-by-candle return down by calendar dimensions —day of the week, month, quarter…
It opens from the Strategies → Seasonal Optimizer… menu. Not to be confused with the Seasonal Analysis, which sits in the Market menu and only describes…
It buys (or sells) on EVERY bar and waits until the price touches the Take Profit or the Stop Loss. It sweeps a complete TP × SL grid (as a % of price) and…
It opens from Market → AQ Holding Profile… The same idea as the TP/SL Map —it enters on EVERY bar, with no filter and no signal, so that what gets measured…
When you test millions of combinations, some will look great by pure chance. AniQuant's filters (Walk-Forward, PBO, survival, Genesis Confidence) reduce…
Portfolio, capital & risk
A basket of specific strategies discovered in the Mass Test. The portfolio re-tests them, charts them together and measures the effect of diversifying: the…
It makes the leap from "having one good strategy" to "managing a team of strategies". Instead of keeping the best one, the Builder automatically picks a…
Having a validated edge is half the picture; the other half is how much you risk on each trade. This branch —its own menu, just before Help— answers that…
While the Sizing Lab helps you choose the method, this makes it REAL: position size becomes part of the strategy and genuinely changes the equity of the…
You have several good strategies and a limited risk budget. How much do you give each one? This module splits your risk in proportion to each strategy's…
Everything else in AniQuant looks backwards (backtest, Survival, Walk-Forward…). This module looks forwards: once you deploy a strategy, it watches whether…
US stocks
AniQuant stops looking at a single symbol and starts scanning thousands of US stocks with an actual strategy, AmiBroker style. You bring your own data (the…
The scanner answers "how did my strategy do on each stock, separately?". The Portfolio Backtest answers the question that really matters: "If on January 1st…
The question it answers: with this strategy and this universe, which combination of leverage, sizing method, position limits and signal selection would have…
A screener of trend leaders based on the Trend Template of Mark Minervini's methodology (SEPA): eight objective criteria that, according to their author…
