Optuma continues to blow me away. Feature after feature astounds me…i.e. the ability to highlight numerous tools/lines/etc and make it a quick button up top is crazy. Multi time frame analysis with different periods/averages on the same chart… multi currency – wow. Flexibility to deal with multiple markets at the same time…. you guys don't need to give me more reasons to love this thing!

Frequently asked questions

Optumas Model Builder is a no-code environment inside Optuma for building backtests, strategies, and models on a quantitative engine. Optumas model builder is built for anyone who wants to test investment ideas and take control of their own investment process.

In Optuma, a strategy is a self-contained set of rules for acting — entry, exit, position sizing, and risk (for example, a trend-following strategy on large-caps, or a mean-reversion strategy on high-volatility names). Optuma offers five strategy types: Long, Short, Rebalance, Active Tilt, and Buy & Hold. A model is a collection of strategies with rules for when each one is active — momentum in trending regimes, defensive positioning when volatility spikes, value after deep drawdowns — and you set a script that controls when each strategy activates.

Every Optuma plan, except for Charts, includes access to the model builder. Connecting models to live portfolios is available only through the Portfolio and Enterprise plans.

No. Optuma Models requires no coding. With built-in AI you can describe what you want in plain language and Optuma returns the script to use.
