Why Traders Switch to StratCraft
From Weeks to Minutes
On traditional frameworks, writing a multi-asset strategy takes weeks. In StratCraft, you describe it in natural language and have it running in minutes.
Institutional Performance
Our C++23 core handles tick-data at speeds Python cannot reach, making it possible to backtest thousands of variants in the time it takes others to test one.
Zero Vendor Lock-in
Your IP stays on your machine. We export standard Python code that runs anywhere. You own your edge, permanently.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can StratCraft replace QuantConnect?
Yes. StratCraft provides the institutional-grade infrastructure of QuantConnect but runs locally, eliminating cloud dependency and adding AI-assisted generation.
Do I need to know C++ to use StratCraft?
No. StratCraft uses C++ for performance under the hood. You interact with it using AI, natural language, or standard Python.
Is it faster than Backtrader?
Significantly. Benchmarks show a 500-1000x performance advantage due to our compiled C++23 execution engine.
