TenSurf Brain: Text-Based AI
You describe your strategy in plain English:
"Enter long when RSI crosses below 30 and price is above the 200 SMA. Exit when RSI crosses above 70. Use a 2% stop loss."TenSurf Brain's AI interprets your rules, generates NinjaScript code, compiles it, and runs a backtest—all automatically.
BloodHound: Visual Node System
You drag pre-built nodes onto a canvas and connect them to create logic flows. Each node represents a condition, indicator, or action.
Configure parameters through dropdown menus and input fields. Connect nodes to build your strategy logic visually.
Choose TenSurf Brain If...
- You think in words, not diagrams — If you can describe your strategy to another trader, you can use TenSurf Brain
- You want to start immediately — No interface to learn first
- You prefer AI assistance — Catches inconsistencies before you backtest
- You want flexible subscription pricing — Start at $49/month, cancel anytime
BloodHound Might Be Better If...
- You prefer visual thinking — See logic flows as connected nodes
- You want a one-time purchase — Lifetime license available
- You're already familiar with it — Switching cost may not be worth it
