Automated trading for everyone
Build, test and run a trading bot. No code.
Describe a strategy in plain English, prove it against years of real market data, then let it trade a demo account on its own — with every decision explained back to you.
You say
“Buy EUR/USD when it’s oversold in an uptrend. 2× my risk as the target.”
It becomes rules you can read
Proven before it runs
Illustrative example — not advice, and real results vary. That’s the point of backtesting.
Plain English in, strategy out
"Buy when the market looks oversold" becomes a precise, editable rule set you can actually read — nothing happens that you haven't seen and approved.
Proof before deployment
Every strategy must pass a backtest against years of real prices first — because an untested bot is just a guess with your name on it.
Safety rails always on
A stop-loss on every trade, a daily loss limit on every bot, and demo money only. The training wheels are the product, for now.
How it works
- 1
Build
Start from a ready-made template, or describe your idea in plain English and watch it become precise rules you can read and tweak.
- 2
Prove
Backtest against up to 5 years of real price data — with trading costs included, the weak spots highlighted, and every number explained.
- 3
Deploy
Run it on a free demo account. A stop-loss on every trade, a daily loss limit on every bot, and a plain-English log of every decision.
Honest questions, honest answers
Is this financial advice?
No. Tiller is an educational tool. The templates are teaching examples, the backtests are history lessons, and every strategy that runs is one you configured and own. Nothing here recommends what you should trade.
What is demo trading?
Your strategies trade an Oanda practice account — a real trading environment with live prices but virtual money. It behaves like the real thing without the part where you can lose actual savings.
Can it lose money?
The demo balance can absolutely go down — that's the point of practicing. Real money is not supported in v1 at all, so nothing you do here can touch actual funds. When losses happen, the safety rails keep them bounded and the logs explain why.
Will a strategy that backtested well keep winning?
Not necessarily — and anyone who promises otherwise is selling something. A good backtest means the rules worked on the past. We show out-of-sample results and honest warnings so you can judge how fragile that is.
