Yes. SFZ Pulsar offers a free Beginner plan for paper trading and strategy testing. Paid plans from €5/month unlock live trading, more concurrent strategies, and advanced features.

Four Workspaces to Build, Test, and Monitor

A focused look at the SFZ screens traders actually use every day: creator, backtesting, terminal, and analytics.

Creator

Backtesting

Terminal

Analytics

Strategy Creator

Visual Trading Strategy Builder — No Code Required

Configure indicator logic, sizing, exits, and risk controls from one guided workflow instead of chasing separate settings panels.

Build entry, exit, and confluence rules with explicit fields instead of hidden defaults
Tune position sizing, stop loss, take profit, and concurrency from the same screen
Save reusable templates around symbols, timeframes, and capital assumptions

Start Building

Creator workspace Strategy Creator risk and position settings

The creator keeps the rule stack readable.

You can see signal structure, risk inputs, and symbol context in one glass-framed workspace instead of stepping through disconnected forms.

Backtesting Engine

Backtest Your Trading Strategy Before Going Live

Run structured backtests with capital, timeframe, cost assumptions, and symbol sets visible up front so the result tells you what actually drove performance.

Run one strategy across one symbol or a small basket without rebuilding the setup
Model commissions, slippage, and exits before you trust the equity curve
Review trades, drawdown, and path quality instead of relying on a single return number

Try Backtesting

Validation engine Backtesting engine configuration and equity chart

The engine surfaces assumptions before the run.

Capital, date range, symbols, costs, and drawdown views stay in frame, so the screenshot already explains how the test was built.

Chart Analysis

Trade Manually with Full Indicator Overlay

You don't need to automate anything to get value from Pulsar. The chart analysis workspace lets you layer any combination of indicators directly onto price charts — SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, Supertrend, and more — and trade manually with a single click.

Overlay 20+ configurable indicators on any symbol — adjust periods, thresholds, and colors live
Place manual buy or sell orders directly from the chart without switching tools
Combine strategy overlays with your own indicator stack to validate ideas before committing capital

Open Chart Analysis

Chart workspace Chart Analysis workspace with indicator overlays

Manual trading with a full indicator stack.

Stack overlays, read signals visually, and execute from one workspace — no bot required. Perfect for discretionary traders who still want the full analytical toolkit.

Stocks & Analytics

Algorithmic Trading Analytics — Track Strategy Performance

Track symbols, evaluate the equity path, and inspect win-rate and distribution views that tie directly back to your bots and backtests.

Track live symbols and keep your research universe close to the results you are reviewing
Measure equity curve shape, rolling win rate, and distribution instead of a single headline return
Move between benchmark, drawdown, and payout-style views without leaving the analytics surface

Explore Stocks

Analytics workspace Analytics workspace with equity curve and P&L distribution

The analytics view explains what the strategy actually did.

Equity curve, win-rate trend, and P&L distribution sit together in a single review layer, so the snapshot tells a fuller performance story.

And Much More

Additional features to supercharge your trading journey

Paper Trading

Validate strategy behavior with internal paper workflows and broker-connected paper environments before going live.

Broker Connection

Connect supported broker environments and keep the platform aware of paper versus live execution modes.

Strategy Comparison

Run multiple bots side by side and compare outcomes before committing more capital to one approach.

Alerts & Notifications

Keep track of platform events, signals, and account activity without watching the terminal all day.

Saved Backtest History

Revisit prior runs, symbols, and date ranges so optimization is based on evidence instead of memory.

Execution Diagnostics

Review why trades were filtered, how exits occurred, and what cost assumptions changed the result set.
