TradeGrub Charts Updated: August 2026
Zipline is the engine that ran Quantopian, and since that shut down it has been community maintained, with data ingestion left as an exercise for the user. TradeGrub brings its own data and runs without a local environment.

VectorBT, Backtrader, Zipline, and Bt are free and open source, but they are libraries rather than products: they require Python and self-hosting, and none of them ship a chart. TradeGrub runs the same class of backtest in the browser.

No. The backtester runs in the browser with nothing to install and no environment to maintain. Strategies can be written in Python, in a Pine-compatible dialect, or built with no code at all in the visual strategy builder.
Nothing to replace: US real-time and delayed global data are included, and Bring Your Own Data can route history through your own broker connection instead. There is no ingestion step.
Yes, though deep 1-minute history is currently capped at roughly the most recent year. Extending that to multi-year M1 backtests is on the roadmap. Daily backtests reach back 20 or more years today.
Yes. The free tier includes all 306 indicators, 87 drawing tools, 96 pattern detectors, unlimited alerts, and backtesting, with no ads and no per-chart indicator caps. Pro at $5.99 per month, or $4.99 billed yearly, adds the TradeGrub data feed, cloud sync, and server-side alert evaluation.
