Describe a futures trading idea the way you’d say it to a fellow trader. AskFutures turns it into a precise, rule-based strategy, backtests it against years of real market data, and shows you exactly how it would have performed — no code, no spreadsheets, no platform scripting.
Past performance does not guarantee future results. Always test before you trade.

Just describe it

Type your idea in plain English — “Buy Micro Nasdaq when price breaks above the first 15-minute high.” AskFutures builds the full strategy for you. The how is invisible.

Real backtests, not guesses

The AI only translates your idea into rules. A fixed, deterministic engine then replays real historical prices bar by bar — net of slippage and commission. The same rules and data always produce the same numbers.

Iterate by chatting

Add a filter, change an exit, swap the symbol, or test a different period — just say so. Every edit becomes a new saved version you can compare.

From beginner ideas to quant depth

50+ CME Group futures, every TA-Lib indicator, opening-range and VWAP tools, ATR and trailing stops, multi-timeframe filters, spreads, z-score reversion, and Commitment-of-Traders overlays — all from plain English.
