Crypto strategy design and automation
Trading ideas are everywhere. Evidence is harder to find.
Edge Theory is a crypto trading platform for designing, testing and running automated strategies. Describe an idea to Pulse, backtest the rules, then practise with a simulated Bot.
Free plan · 40 AI credits each month · 10 strategy designs each month · 1 simulated Bot · no card required. Supported Live automation depends on your strategy, plan and exchange connection.

Automated trading involves risk. Backtests and simulated results don't predict future performance.
Built on real market data
Every Strategy Lab preview is labelled simulated, and Pulse makes no promises about returns.

From idea to Bot
01
Describe it
Put the idea into words.
Pulse turns your description into a draft you can review, with assumptions shown in writing.
Long when a bullish engulfing candle forms and ADX is above 25, 4 hour chart
Example readoutGo long BTCUSDT on 4H when an Engulfing Bullish candle AND ADX(14) is above 25. Stop 2× ATR(14), take profit at 2R.
From the existing strategy examples · no performance result is shown
02
Test it
See how the rules behave.
Run the draft against historical candles. The chart below is an interface example, not a strategy result.
Illustrative chart motion only · no market values or performance result is represented
03
Grade it
Check the evidence, including what failed.
The Evidence Lab tests more than headline returns. A profitable backtest can still receive a low grade.

Run it

Bot creation and execution follow your plan permissions. Supported Live automation depends on your strategy, plan and exchange connection. Backtesting and simulation do not guarantee future results, and Live trading can lose capital. Learn about Bot automation →

Questions before you start
Questions worth answering.
Can I use Edge Theory without coding?

Can I start with a ready-made Bot?

Can I try the platform for free?
Yes. Free membership includes 40 AI credits each month, Strategy Lab, historical backtesting and 1 simulated Bot.
Do I need real money to test a Bot?
No. Backtesting and simulated Bots do not place Live orders using real funds.
Are Bots included in membership?

Can a Bot lose money?
Yes. Historical and simulated results do not predict future performance, and Live automated trading can lose capital.
