Editor’s pick Hands-on review

Rules‑based quant research and portfolio‑management platform. Free Manage module covers multi‑account tracking, watchlists, and broker connectivity, while paid Research/DataMiner/API tiers unlock multifactor ranking, screening, long history backtests, AI Factor, and programmatic access. API & DataMiner use an API‑credit system with monthly caps that depend on your membership; the 21‑day paid Research trial excludes API/DataMiner and runs on a limited history slice.
