Overview

These were my first products, and they grew out of my time as a junior trader. Tradebook was a journal for logging trades, profit and loss, risk and reviews. Labs was a research server for backtesting strategies and paper trading them.

I retired both in September 2026 to focus on Ledger, so they are no longer online.

My role

I built both, and wrote the research process the lab enforced. A strategy had to hold up across different market conditions, after slippage and transaction costs, under drawdown limits, and on data it had never seen before I trusted it.

What it does

Tradebook

  • Trade log from Excel or Google Sheets
  • P&L, risk and performance charts, PDF export
  • Paper trading, trade reviews and screenshots, daily plans

Labs

  • Backtest engine built to avoid look-ahead bias
  • A factory of about 100 strategy ideas in 15 families
  • Paper-trading simulator, strategy and report builders
  • Market data from Yahoo, Dukascopy, HistData and OANDA

Where it stands

There are no screenshots, because both apps were taken offline before this portfolio was made.
