Why serious retail investors run it local

Online screeners and backtesters want a subscription — and a look at your best ideas — in exchange. Quantery flips that: you own the tool, and nothing leaves your desk.

  • Your edge stays yours

    Your theses, screens, and results live only on your machine. You never upload your best ideas to someone else's platform to have them logged, ranked, or resold. Private by construction.

  • No subscription treadmill

    Buy the license once and run unlimited scans and backtests forever — no per-backtest metering, no four-figure annual bill, no features held behind a higher tier.

  • Private & offline by default

    The whole engine runs on your desktop. Bring your own data and AI keys and use them directly — or work fully offline against the history you've already pulled.

How it works

Think of it as a refinery: raw filings and prices go in, tested theses come out. You turn the crank.

  1. 1

    Define a thesis

    Write your strategy as a small YAML spec — universe, features, scoring criteria, gate, verdict bands. Ships with templates: deep-value capitulation, Graham net-net, Piotroski F-score, Magic Formula, Buffett-quality, earnings-yield.

  2. 2

    Scan the universe

    Evaluate the whole US equity universe against point-in-time fundamentals from primary SEC filings — as they were actually reported, no restatement leak.

  3. 3

    Backtest walk-forward

    Replay the thesis across history — as many times as you want — with survivorship-aware, anti-look-ahead safeguards. Event study plus a naive portfolio, benchmarked against SPY and IWM.

  4. 4

    Optionally AI-score

    Bring your own AI — Claude, OpenAI, or a local model — to score the qualitative criteria on survivors. Or run quant-only, with no AI at all.

What you get

  • Unlimited backtesting

    Run as many walk-forward backtests as you want — no per-run metering, no credits, no caps. Event studies plus a naive portfolio, benchmarked against SPY and IWM.

  • Flexible thesis building

    Write any strategy as a small YAML spec — universe, features, scoring criteria, gates, verdict bands. Ships with templates (deep-value, Graham net-net, Piotroski, Magic Formula, Buffett quality, earnings-yield), then bend them into your own.

  • Screen the whole US market

    Rank the entire US equity universe against your thesis, then drill into any name. Your criteria, your gates, your verdict bands — not a black box.

  • A big head start of history

    Comes seeded with a large starter dataset — point-in-time fundamentals, prices, and options history back to 2008 — so you can build and backtest from day one, then pull more with your own keys.

  • Point-in-time & survivorship-aware

    Backtests see only what was known on each date, and keep delisted names in the historical universe. Honest by construction — no look-ahead, no survivorship leak.

  • Optional AI scoring

    Bring your own AI — Claude, OpenAI, or a local model — to score qualitative criteria on survivors. Or run quant-only, with no AI and no keys at all.

  • Verify against primary filings. Fundamentals come from SEC EDGAR; demo mode ships clearly-labeled fictional data.
