Validate your strategies
like a hedge fund.
In Python. With Claude.

TradingView is good to start. But its backtests hide biases that blow real accounts. Level 3 teaches you the pro methodology: 1-second data, Optuna 1000+ trials, Walk-Forward, CPCV. You validate your edge before risking capital — whether it's a prop firm, a personal futures account, or any other vehicle.

Level 3 is for you if…

💡 The Tradelo promise
You don't code Python — you pilot Claude with our exact prompts.

Level 3 goes deep technically (Optuna, WFA, CPCV, Circuit Breaker) — but we hand you the EXACT Claude Code prompts for every block: the prompt for the backtester, the prompt for the Optuna objective, the prompt for WFA, the prompt for CPCV. Not a "prompt idea", the full text, tested on our own research. You open the module, copy, Claude generates the Python code, you run it, you read the results. Pro-grade rigor without the blank-page struggle.

This course is also for you if: you've been trading for a while without clear results and you're no longer sure whether it's your mindset, your execution, or your strategy itself that's the issue. That's precisely what Level 3 lets you settle. The pro methodology (faithful backtest, Optuna, Walk-Forward, CPCV) answers one question: does my edge actually exist, or have I been telling myself a story? Many discover here that their "profitable" strategy of 2 years doesn't survive an honest test — and it's better to learn that now than on a 100k account (prop firm or personal) that blows up.
The pro methodology is universal.

Our examples often use prop firms because the $2k MaxDD constraint forces a rigor that personal accounts don't impose — it's a great training ground. But the Python + Optuna + Walk-Forward + CPCV workflow applies to any instrument and any broker: futures on a personal account, forex, stocks, ETFs, crypto. Once CPCV validates your edge, you pick where to execute. The rigor of the process is the same — only the vehicle changes.

Budget note — external platform fees. The course price is one-time. But the pro methodology requires third-party tools to budget for on top: Databento for 1-second MNQ data (one-time purchase, covered in module 3), Claude Pro ~25 USD/month, and optionally TradingView Plus / TradersPost if you also deploy live (~14 USD + ~50 USD/month). These fees go to the platforms themselves, not to us. Check their current pricing before committing — it changes from time to time.
⚠️ Responsibility & results — read before you buy.

Tradelo teaches a method. We are not responsible for the results you obtain. Even a pro methodology (Optuna + WFA + CPCV) does not create an edge — it lets you measure whether yours actually exists. A strategy that passes CPCV can still lose live if market regimes shift; a poorly validated or overfit strategy will lose money — fast, with no emotion to stop you. It's on you to judge robustness before risking real capital. Trading involves substantial risk of loss, including total loss of capital.
