I've spent years stitching together Jupyter notebooks, backtrader, broker APIs, and spreadsheets for risk tracking. CPZAI replaces all of that. I built a momentum strategy, backtested it against 20 years of data, connected my broker, and had it running in paper trading — all within a single session. The risk management tools alone are worth it; scenario testing and drawdown analysis are baked into the workflow, not bolted on as an afterthought.
The AI strategist (Simons) is genuinely useful — not a gimmick chatbot. It helped me debug a position sizing issue and suggested a volatility filter I hadn't considered. The strategy builder uses Python, so there's no proprietary language to learn.
Simons changed how I approach systematic trading.
I've been building and running systematic trading strategies for a while, and CPZAI's Simons AI strategist is genuinely useful — not just a wrapper. It asks the right questions, surfaces assumptions I was glossing over, and helps tighten the logic before I even get to backtesting. The workflow from research to execution feels unified in a way that most tools don't manage. Would recommend for any serious systematic trader who wants to move faster without cutting corners.
@ginakimiza great to hear!
