Auto-trade backtested 0DTE opportunities

  • Create a new bot to auto-trade 0DTE opportunities directly from a backtest
  • Generate a scanner for an existing bot directly from a backtest
  • Custom backtest criteria, including indicators and market conditions, implemented in your bot's scanner automatically
