Veskald

Veskald is a platform for researchers and traders who want to develop and test crypto futures strategies using explicit rules, backtest them with real costs, and run live on an engine that uses the same definition. It supports both systematic and discretionary trading approaches, enabling users to move ideas from concept to live trading while keeping control over execution and data. The tool emphasizes transparency between backtests and live results and offers a self-hosted option for running orders locally.

The workflow starts with turning a trading idea into rules, then validating those rules with backtests and out-of-sample tests, optimizing parameters, and finally launching live. The system links the rule set to a live execution path where signals can be generated, reviewed, and executed either by a self-hosted app or via a connected exchange. It also provides an AI assistant to help build and evaluate strategies.

Veskald highlights costs and risks as part of testing, including commissions, slippage and funding in backtests, and it presents an execution log showing live fills alongside expected results. It supports a portfolio view to manage multiple strategies, a journal for audit trails, and cross-asset testing to verify that edge holds beyond a single market.

It notes that users can run the bot themselves or use a connected execution path, with self-hosted execution and an ongoing development path that integrates research, backtesting, and live trading into one platform.

Use cases
