The QuantPad alternative where you describe the strategy instead of coding it
QuantPad is an AI IDE for quantitative trading. You write and backtest strategies in coding languages such as PineScript, NinjaScript, EasyLanguage and PowerLanguage, with an agent that helps generate and fix the code. It suits traders who are comfortable working in code. Agenticks does the same idea-to-backtest job from a plain-English description: the agent writes the strategy as Python you can read and download, runs it on market data that comes with the account, and hands back every trade.
What QuantPad does well
- AI IDE with an agent that builds and backtests strategies in code alongside you
- Multiple coding languages (PineScript, NinjaScript, EasyLanguage, PowerLanguage) with linting
- Deep market data and validation tools like Monte Carlo and an A-to-F strategy score
Why traders choose Agenticks instead
- No coding language to learn. Describe the setup, for example an NQ opening range breakout on 5-minute bars with a stop under the range, and the agent writes it and runs the backtest.
- The market data is included. Futures (NQ, MNQ, ES, MES, GC, MGC, SI and SIL) from 2016, US stocks and ETFs from as early as 2000, spot crypto and EURUSD, down to 1-minute bars, with no data subscription to bring.
- Results read the way a prop trader reads them: every trade, the equity curve, drawdown, Monte Carlo resampling of the real trades, and a pass check against Topstep, FTMO or Apex evaluation rules.
- A tested strategy can run live. On the Assistant plan it sends entry, target and stop to Telegram, and on the Agent plan an approved strategy places its own orders at a supported broker.

Questions people ask
- Is Agenticks a good QuantPad alternative?
- Yes, if you want the idea-to-backtest workflow without working in a coding IDE. You describe the strategy, Agenticks writes it as readable Python, backtests it on included futures, stock, ETF, crypto and forex data, and returns every trade with drawdown, Monte Carlo and a prop firm pass check. QuantPad is a capable IDE for people who like writing their strategy code themselves.
- Do I need to know PineScript or EasyLanguage like in QuantPad?
- No. You describe the strategy or indicator and the agent writes it. When you want a TradingView script, it writes Pine Script v6 and checks that the script is ready to compile before handing it over.
- Can I see the code Agenticks writes?
- Yes. Every strategy is written as Python you can open, read and download, and the Flow tab draws the same code as a flowchart so you can check the entry, exit and risk logic without reading code at all.
Agenticks is analysis and automation software, not financial advice. Backtests describe the past and do not predict future results.
