Inside the Strategy

How “Utility Monopolies” was built

3 AI agents turned “everyone is buying ai stocks but ignoring the companies selling the electricity” into a live algo.

The Momentum Agent scanned 300+ large-cap stocks and identified power utilities as the strongest match — companies that literally sell electricity to AI data centers.

Only on AlgoThesis

Your algo knows what’s coming

Other tools backtest on price data alone. AlgoThesis is the only platform that factors in earnings dates, FDA approvals, Fed meetings, and macro events.

Catalyst Timeline

Earnings dates, FDA decisions, Fed meetings — mapped to your tickers automatically. Know what's coming before the market does.

Event-Driven Execution

Position sizing adjusts automatically when a catalyst approaches. Hedge exposure scales up before earnings. No manual monitoring.

Post-Catalyst Learning

Your thesis predicted X. Here's what actually happened. Every catalyst cycle makes your next strategy sharper.

Catalyst data powered by Finnhub + SEC EDGAR filings

FAQ

Common questions

Is this real backtesting or just a demo?+
Real. We pull 1+ years of daily price data from Alpaca and Yahoo Finance, run your thesis through our Volt engine (Rust), and simulate actual trades with commissions, slippage, and position sizing. No fake numbers.
Can I actually trade with this?+
Yes. Connect your Alpaca account to go live with real money or paper trade risk-free. We also support Coinbase and Kraken for crypto on the Trader plan.
How is a thesis different from a trading strategy?+
A thesis is the WHY — your belief about the market ("AI chip demand will triple"). AlgoThesis turns that into the HOW — which tickers to trade, when to enter/exit, and how to size positions. You think, we build.
What if my thesis is wrong?+
That's the point of backtesting. Most theses don't survive contact with real data. We show you exactly how it would have performed — including the worst drawdown — so you know before risking real money.
Do I need to know how to code?+
No. Type your thesis in plain English. The AI handles ticker selection, strategy design, and backtesting. If you want to go deeper, we export Python code for every strategy.
How is this different from ChatGPT?+
ChatGPT can discuss trading ideas but can't run a real backtest. AlgoThesis connects your thesis to real market data, runs simulations, and optionally executes live trades — end to end.
