Most trading tools treat your strategy's results as a record. Something to look at, tidy up, and file away.

Tessera treats them as material. You build a strategy, prove it in a backtest that checks whether it can be trusted, and run it as a trading bot on your broker. Every trade it takes comes back to your journal, you simulate changes on those real trades, and the version that holds up is backtested and redeployed. Every loop leaves your algo strategy sharper than it was.

That's a Tessera

How it fits together

One loop, from idea to running bot and back.

  7. The next version goes back to step 02.
More on build

Log. Every trade your strategy took, synced or imported, and put back on the chart in the price action and regime it happened in.

View Trade log

Analyse. The real metrics, across sessions, symbols, and regimes. No proprietary grade, no black-box number you can't check.

View Statistics

Test. Filter a rule against the trades your strategy actually took, and see what its P&L would have looked like without them.

View Simulations

Built on Tessera’s connected workspace, so every fill, metric, and experiment stays on one trail, not scattered across tabs and exports.

The old way

Your broker has the fills. Your journal has the notes. Your charts have the ideas. Every review is you stitching them together by hand, and the numbers still don't agree. Nothing links a fill to a metric, a metric to an experiment, or an experiment to a proved rule, so sessions end without answers and rules change without evidence.

What algo traders use Tessera for

Strategy Lab builds and stress tests the strategy. Launchpad runs it. The trade log, statistics and workspace keep the real numbers honest and show what to change next. One loop, from idea to running bot and back.

Strategy Lab

Describe the idea to TES and it builds the strategy, runs the backtest and checks it: unseen period, Monte Carlo, costs, 50 markets and prop-firm rules.

Explore Strategy Lab

Launchpad

Run the strategy on paper, then on your broker account. Approve each trade on Telegram or let it trade inside your limits.

Explore Launchpad

Workspace canvas

Strategies, reports, simulations, and rules as a node graph. See what produced what, not a pile of disconnected files.

Explore workspace

Statistics dashboard

Always-on metrics from the same trades you log. Period reads without a made-up composite score.

Pine Script round-trip

Paste your TradingView script onto a strategy, compose a tested rule into a copy, then paste it back and re-backtest.

Reports that feed the simulator

Break a report into slices by regime, session and more, then send the ones worth testing straight to the simulator.

Explore reports

Exportable reports

PDF and CSV you can archive or send to a coach. Every metric traces back to your trades.

Combined rules

Prove rules in isolation, merge the ones that hold up, and re-simulate the stack as one unit before you trade it.

See policies

Market context tagging

Session, volatility, and structure tags on each trade so review stays grounded in conditions, not hindsight.
