Welcome to FORJ
FORJ is a visual strategy-building platform for traders. You design your trading logic graphically, test it against historical data, deploy it, and the platform runs it automatically — no code required.
Your strategies watch the market 24/7, evaluate conditions you define, execute actions you configure, and emit alerts when something meaningful happens. You stay in control of the logic; FORJ handles the automation.
What You Can Build
- Automated trading strategies that respond to live market data
- Custom alert pipelines that notify you via email, in-app, or webhook when your conditions fire
- Backtested models validated against historical candle data before going live
Core Products
| Product | What It Is |
|---|---|
| SMITH | The visual strategy editor — a canvas where you design your strategy's states, conditions, transitions, and actions |
| CRUCIBLE | The backtesting tool — where you test your strategies against historical data before deploying them live |
| HEARTH | The strategy dashboard — your home screen for monitoring all running strategies, checking status, and reviewing performance |
Key Concepts
These are the building blocks you'll work with throughout the platform:
| Concept | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Strategy states | Distinct modes your strategy can be in — like "watching the market", "in a position", or "waiting to exit" |
| Conditions | Rules that determine when something should happen — "if price crosses above X and volume exceeds Y" |
| Transitions | Movement from one state to another when conditions are met |
| Actions | What your strategy does when a transition fires — flag a trade, send an alert, update a variable |
| Alerts | Notifications emitted when meaningful events occur. Delivered in-app, via email, or as webhooks to external systems |
| Data sources | Market data feeds and custom webhooks your strategy listens to. You connect your own data and FORJ routes it to the right strategies |
