When TradesViz may still suit you
TradesViz suits traders who want deep journal statistics across many brokers, including options analytics.
Backtests you can trust
AlgoBars backtests use only the data available at each moment and fill orders on the next bar, so a result reflects your rules, not hindsight. They show the raw price move, before spread and commission, so you see the edge of the rules themselves. Check each broker's spread with the broker spread map before going live.
