    spikeet.com is a tool we have built to pull historical data and develop trading strategies.
    It's main use though, as of now - is pulling data into spreadsheets and then taking it from there, trying to find correlations and an EDGE through the data. all done with no code, and you can scan the entire market for finding patterns and your criteria.

    We are thinking of building a no-code advanced strategy backtester. Curious to hear if that is smth traders will use - to find and refine successful trading strategies ?
    Would you trust and share your ideas with such a tool ? feel comfortable enough to plug in trading ideas and generate strategies with it ?

    You can't reliably do that, you sacrifice all customisation. And for basic stuff, writing if RSI(Bar, #Close, 14) < 30 is no different than selecting some preset like RSI(14) < 30.
