About SeaOrb
SeaOrb is a desktop application for quantitative research, strategy development and backtesting — built around the idea that a research tool should be hard to fool, not easy to please.
Why SeaOrb exists
Backtesting tools are easy to find and hard to trust. Most of them fill orders at the price of the bar that produced the signal, ignore fees and funding, report a headline return with no risk adjustment beside it, and let a strategy be tuned on the same data it is then judged with. Every one of those shortcuts makes results look better than anything that could have actually been traded.
That gap is the whole reason SeaOrb exists. It is built around a single question: would this result survive contact with reality? The engine fills at the next bar's open, applies the costs you would really pay, re-tests on data it never saw, sets aside a slice it never touches until the very end, and discounts a result by how many variations were tried to find it.
That makes some numbers smaller. It is supposed to. The point of a research tool is not to produce an encouraging chart — it is to tell you, before you have any money at stake, whether what you are looking at is an edge or an accident.
What the product is built around
Four commitments that decide how features get designed.
Honest by default
The conservative assumption wins. No setting has to be found and switched on to stop a result from flattering itself.
Nothing is a black box
Composite scores show their working and sit next to the raw ratios, so a skeptical user can ignore them entirely.
The engine is the product
Complete reporting belongs on the free plan. Paid plans add automated search, not access to the basics.
A tool, not an adviser
SeaOrb measures. It never recommends a trade, places an order, or touches your money — those stay entirely with you.
What SeaOrb does and does not do
The boundaries matter as much as the features, so they are worth stating plainly.
It does
- Simulate strategies against years of historical market data
- Model fills, fees, funding and slippage the way they actually occur
- Report risk-adjusted performance alongside raw return
- Re-test tuned strategies on data they were never fitted to
- Search combinations automatically and rank what survives validation
- Tell you when a good-looking result is within the range of luck
It does not
- Execute trades, place orders, or connect to a broker
- Hold, transmit or ever take custody of your funds
- Recommend a strategy, an asset, or a moment to act
- Provide financial, investment, tax or legal advice
- Predict future prices or promise any outcome
- Make a decision on your behalf — every one of those is yours
