A Composer alternative with futures, crypto and your own broker
Composer is a no-code algorithmic investing platform where you build rules-based strategies, backtest them, and trade them automatically inside Composer's own brokerage. It is focused on US stocks and ETFs, and orders execute inside its platform. Agenticks covers intraday futures trading as well as stocks, and runs approved strategies through a broker you already use.
What Composer does well
- No-code visual strategy builder with AI assistance
- Backtesting on the free tier
- Automated execution and rebalancing of stock and ETF strategies
Why traders choose Agenticks instead
- More markets and shorter timeframes. Backtest futures such as NQ and ES, US stocks and ETFs, crypto and EURUSD on bars from 1 minute to 1 day.
- Bring your own broker. Connect Wealthsimple, Schwab, E*TRADE, Webull, Tastytrade, Public, Alpaca, Moomoo or a crypto exchange, instead of moving money to a new brokerage.
- Describe the strategy in plain English and read every trade the test took before you decide to run it.

Questions people ask
- What is a good Composer alternative?
- Agenticks suits traders who want more than US equities or want to keep their own broker. You describe a strategy, it is backtested on futures, stocks, ETFs, crypto or forex history, and on the Agent plan an approved strategy places its orders at your connected broker.
- Can I use my own broker instead of a built-in one?
- Yes. Agenticks connects to brokers that accept orders, including Wealthsimple, Charles Schwab, E*TRADE, Webull, Tastytrade, Public, Alpaca, Moomoo, Coinbase, Kraken and Binance. Some other brokers, such as Interactive Brokers and Fidelity, connect for reading holdings only.
- Does Agenticks support more than stocks and ETFs?
- Yes. It backtests futures (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES, GC, MGC, SI and SIL), spot crypto pairs and EURUSD forex as well as US stocks and ETFs.
