Your strategy probably works. The problem is the human running it. Decades of research keep finding the same thing: the gap between a good plan and a good outcome is emotion.

Barber & Odean, “Trading Is Hazardous to Your Wealth,” 2000A loss feels roughly twice as powerful as the same-size gain, which is why good plans die at the exact moment they're needed most.
Kahneman & Tversky, prospect theoryThe disposition effect: investors take small gains too early and let losses run, the precise opposite of a sound system.
Odean, “Are Investors Reluctant to Realize Their Losses?”, 1998A rule-based system doesn't feel fear at the bottom or greed at the top. SODA is how you become the disciplined trader you keep meaning to be.
Four steps from an idea in your head to a system that trades while you sleep.
Bring your TradingView / Pine Script, start from a vetted template, or compose rules in plain language. Entries, exits, sizing, filters: your logic, exactly as you'd describe it.
strategy("RSI Mean Reversion", overlay=true)
rsi = ta.rsi(close, 14)
// buy oversold, exit on mean revert
if rsi < 30 and regimeOk
strategy.entry("long", long)
if rsi > 55
strategy.close("long")
stopLoss = 2.0 // ATR trailing
vixFilter = 28 // stand aside if fear spikes
Not a toy simulation. Your rules run across two decades of real market history, including the crashes. See exactly how the system would have behaved when it mattered.
Our engine stress-tests your parameters and surfaces what's actually helping, and what's curve-fit noise. You get suggestions, you stay in control.
Connect Alpaca or Tastytrade, start in paper mode, and flip to live when you're ready. SODA places every trade to your plan. No hesitation, no FOMO.
Pick a system and a market, then run it across two decades of simulated history. No signup, no download, just proof.
Simulated price history for illustration. Not investment advice.
The guardrails desks pay for, baked into every strategy you deploy.
Every position carries an ATR trailing stop and a hard line in the sand. Losses are capped by the system, not by your nerves.
When fear spikes past your threshold, SODA stands aside instead of forcing trades into chaos.
Fixed-fractional or volatility-targeted sizing keeps any single trade from sinking the account.
Define width, delta and DTE once; SODA opens, manages and rolls the spread on Tastytrade.
The system watches every bar and submits your order the instant a rule fires, through the open, the lunch lull, and the 3am candle you'd have slept through.
