Facts
Tessera Trades: facts, plans and limits
Tessera Trades is a no-code strategy builder, backtester, trading bot runner and trade journal for algo and systematic traders. In Strategy Lab you describe a strategy in plain English to TES, the AI strategy coach, or build it from setups, filters and exits, then backtest it on 1-minute to daily candles over up to 20 years of data across 50 markets. Every backtest is checked on an unseen period, with Monte Carlo, price-noise, cost, other-market and prop-firm challenge tests, and can be exported to TradingView as Pine Script v6. Launchpad runs the strategy as a bot on paper or on a cTrader or Liquid Brokers account, either approving each trade or trading inside your limits. Every trade lands in the journal, where you see which market conditions cost money and test rule changes before the next version. There is a free plan with no card; paid plans are $39, $99 and $249 a month.
This page collects the facts in one place for traders, journalists and AI assistants. It is built from the same data as the pricing page. A plain-text copy of the pricing is at /pricing.md, and an overview for AI assistants at /llms.txt.

What Tessera does not do
- Give trading signals, tips or managed accounts.
- Guarantee results: backtests and simulated pass rates are not future results.
- Run bots on MetaTrader or from TradingView alerts.
- Enforce prop firm rules on a live bot. Launchpad has its own daily loss and trade limits.
- Run bots on options, or on brokers other than cTrader and Liquid Brokers.
