The method

Pretty backtests are easy. Honest ones take work.

Anyone can show you a curve that goes up. Wickly AI runs the validation work quants actually do, so the number you see is the one that survived.

01Sweep

200+

variations backtested

Your idea becomes hundreds of nearby variations, and every one gets a full backtest. No cherry-picking a single lucky run.

02Confirm

5 yrs

of unseen data

Top candidates re-run on five years of data they were never tuned on. Overfit strategies fall apart right here.

03Stress

3 modes

of deeper proof

Resampling, permutation, and extended out-of-sample tests, on demand, when you want more proof before you trust it.

ProBring your own agent

Never open the app. Send your agent.

Connect Claude Code, or any MCP agent, straight to Wickly AI. Ask it for one backtest, or hand it a goal and let it run the whole research loop on its own while you do something else.

  • Works with any MCP client, one OAuth connect
  • Autonomous or collaborative mode
  • Same validation harness, results in the app
