Bot builders make you learn the tool before you can express the trade.
Describe the setup in your own words. Pulse asks up to three questions, shows its assumptions and builds rules the strategy engine supports.
Built
Bots / built around your rules
Let the bot run.
Keep the evidence in view.
Design your rules with Pulse, test without a daily limit, then choose Simulated or supported Live execution. Keep the bot's recorded behaviour beside the range you tested.
Live trading can lose money. Availability depends on the Bot, plan, exchange connection and account.

EDGE THEORY · AUTOMATIONWhat traders run into
Automation is easy to promise.
Harder to stay accountable.
These are familiar points of friction in bot trading. Here is how Edge Theory addresses them—without asking you to take a backtest or an AI answer on faith.
Testing is rationed, so each change feels expensive.
No daily backtest limit on any plan, including Free. The preview runs again when you edit a rule.
BuiltPerfect fills can flatter a historical result.
Simulated trades include fees and slippage; perpetual strategies include funding costs. The result stays labelled simulated.
BuiltA strong backtest can be luck or overfitting.
Evidence Lab challenges a saved version with random entries, unseen data and trial history, then gives a reasoned A–F robustness grade.
BuiltAI can make choices without showing what it assumed.
Pulse writes assumptions down and refuses requests for promised returns. You can read and change the rules before choosing how to run them.
BuiltA strategy can be difficult to move to another tool.
Strategy export for TradingView, MT4, MT5, NinjaTrader 8 and Freqtrade is in development; it is not available yet.
In developmentA bot can keep running after its behaviour has changed.
For simulated bots with a saved Evidence Lab baseline, compare recorded results with the tested range and opt in to below-range alerts.
BuiltTwo modes. One clear choice.
Know what happens when you press Run.
Simulated and Live are separate execution modes. An exchange connection does not activate a Bot or switch its mode.
01SIMULATED
Practise with simulated activity.
Review simulated orders, positions and recorded results without sending orders to an exchange. Simulated Bot access is included on every plan; individual Bot types still follow their plan access.
Available on every plan02LIVE · WHERE SUPPORTED
Connect your own exchange account.
Supported Strategy Bots can use a Live connection from Pro+. Some specialist Bot types require Elite+. Your API key must have withdrawals disabled; Edge Theory does not hold member funds.
Your account · trade-only permissionsLive trading can result in losses. Check the Bot, market, plan, exchange connection and permissions before activation.
The Bot lineup
Different jobs.
Clearly marked access.
Start with a strategy you designed, select a systematic workflow or choose a supported arbitrage route. Planned features are labelled as planned.

Strategy bots
Run the rules you designed in Strategy Lab, with each edit available to inspect before activation.

Arbitrage
Choose a supported route. Evidence Lab assesses each route against its market, costs, liquidity and execution conditions.

TradingView alert bots
Planned: use an alert to trigger a configured Edge Theory Bot through a secret webhook.

Rotation bots
Planned: hold the strongest coins in a selected basket.
Not available yetPlannedA plan grants access to eligible features. It does not activate a Bot or guarantee that every strategy, exchange or route is supported for Live execution.
After activation
The record stays attached to the Bot.
Automation should make activity easier to review, not harder to see.
Explore the Evidence LabTested range
For simulated Bots with a saved Evidence Lab baseline, compare recorded results with the tested range. Below-range events can trigger an alert.
Telegram and Discord
Opt in to event alerts for Bot activity, health and below-range drift.
Share by choice
Publish a Bot profile or share a recorded trade card when you choose. Execution mode stays part of the record.
Your exchange connection
Your funds stay on your exchange.
Edge Theory connects to supported exchange accounts for eligible Live workflows. Keys are trade-only, with withdrawals disabled. Elite and Exclusive members can connect more exchanges Live.
Supported access depends on the selected Bot, connection adapter, account and plan.

Why we challenge the backtest
A good-looking backtest can still tell you very little.
A 2016 study compared the backtests and out-of-sample performance of 888 trading algorithms. Its findings on overfitting and repeated testing are one reason Edge Theory keeps testing, trial history and uncertainty visible.
Wiecki, Campbell, Lent & Stauth · All That Glitters Is Not Gold · 2016Start with the rules
Build a Bot you can still question.
Start free in Simulated mode. Move to Live only when the Bot, plan and exchange connection support it—and after you have reviewed the setup.
Simulated results are not Live results. Historical testing does not predict future performance.
