How It Works

From Trading Idea to Automated Strategy in Minutes

You describe your rules. TenSurf Brain handles the code, compilation, and backtesting. No programming required.

Tired of the Coding Barrier?

Tried ChatGPT? So have most traders. The problem: it doesn't compile inside NinjaTrader. You get code with deprecated methods, missing references, and logic errors that waste hours to debug. TenSurf Brain generates your strategy code, compiles it in NT8, and fixes errors automatically. No copy-pasting. No debugging someone else's broken code.

What if you could skip straight to the results?

Four Steps to Your First Strategy

From idea to backtest results—without writing a single line of code

STEP 01

Describe Your Strategy

In Plain English

Open TenSurf Brain inside NinjaTrader 8 and type your trading rules the way you'd explain them to another trader. No special syntax. No programming concepts. Just your strategy in your words.

Example input:

""Buy when RSI crosses below 30 and price is above the 200-period moving average. Exit when RSI crosses above 70 or after holding for 10 bars.""
