VS TRADINGVIEWQ04

How is it different from TradingView or Pine Script?

TradingView is a charting-first platform with limited single-asset scripting. StratCraft is a strategy discovery factory. We move beyond "indicators" into statistical signal composition across thousands of variants, running on local compiled code rather than browser-based scripts.

LOCAL · PRIVACYQ05

Is it a cloud-based platform?

No. StratCraft runs entirely on your local machine. This ensures 100% data sovereignty. Your strategies, trade data, and proprietary IP never leave your infrastructure. We believe your "edge" should be private.

FACTORY
SIGNAL FACTORYQ06

What is the "Signal Factory" model?

Traditional trading focuses on one "perfect" strategy. The Signal Factory model treats strategy generation as a manufacturing process: running hundreds or thousands of signals in parallel, statistically weighting them, and automatically rotating them based on performance. It is the core paradigm used by firms like Renaissance Technologies.

Where does StratCraft fit in the evolution of trading platforms?

StratCraft represents Generation 3.5 in the history of algorithmic trading infrastructure. The AI-Automated layer that sits above institutional platforms. Gen 1 was single-script indicators (MT4 era), Gen 2 introduced Python frameworks, Gen 3 brought cloud-scale institutional orchestration. Gen 3.5 is where AI writes the code and humans define the logic, enabling strategy discovery at exponential throughput. We cover this taxonomy in detail on our Evolution page.
