Investopedia: Best Short Term Stock Screener, 2024
OddsMaker validating a strategy.
The short answer: OddsMaker, part of TI Premium, backtests any alert-and-filter setup without code. You choose the entry window, the exit (profit targets, stops, timed holds, or the future close or open) and the filters, and it reports win rate, profit factor and every trade. The AI Assistant can build the setup from plain English first.

Steps
How to backtest a stock strategy without code
Build an Alert window by clicking through the alert and filter lists, or ask the AI Assistant to build it.
Open OddsMaker and choose that window as the event to test.
Set the direction, the time of day trades may start, and how each trade exits.
Run it. Change one setting, run it again, and compare.

Settings
Entries, exits and filters you can set
The entry is the alert itself, inside the time window you choose. Exits can be a profit target, a stop loss, timed (hold a set number of minutes), or the future close or open.
Formula
On the Risk Mgmt tab, targets and stops are set in dollars or percent, either as a fixed amount or from a filter value such as Smart Stop ($), and the stop can take an optional Wiggle. That filter value can be a custom formula built in the Formula Editor, so you can set your exit to a formula you wrote.
The close or open exit lets you compare an intraday hold with holding to the close or into the next session. Filters such as price, volume, float and relative volume narrow which alerts count. With 308 alerts and 249 filters, most rule-based ideas can be described without writing anything.
Output
Win rate, profit factor and every trade the idea would have taken.
What the results show
Key point
OddsMaker reports the trades it produced, the win rate, the profit factor, the equity curve and drawdown. The trade list lets you check individual entries rather than trusting a single number.
Past results, including backtests, don't guarantee future results.
AI
Describe it in plain English
The AI Assistant, in every TI Pro plan, builds Alert windows and Top Lists (Screeners) from a sentence such as "stocks gapping up 3% on twice their normal volume". You build the window with the Assistant, then set up the test in OddsMaker. Video demos are on the AI stock screener page.
Checklist
What to look for in a no-code backtester
Does it test the setups you actually trade, intraday as well as daily?
Can you set realistic exits, including stops and timed holds?
Does it show the individual trades, not just a summary?
Can you take the tested setup straight to live alerts without rebuilding it?
A custom filter in a strategy, set with no code (Mar 10, 2025).
Want to script instead? Use the Formula Editor.
The Formula Editor is Trade Ideas' scripting engine for building your own measurements. It is in every TI Pro plan. Save a formula and it works as a filter; testing it in OddsMaker needs TI Premium. More on stock scanner scripting.
