Stratlyze vs QuantAnalyzer
A fair comparison — where the closed-balance approach falls short.
QuantAnalyzer is a capable, deep analyzer — it set the bar for backtest analysis. But it reads the trade list as the equity curve and isn’t built for prop-rule checks. Here is where that matters, stated honestly.
- Equity curve
- QuantAnalyzerBuilt from the closed-trade list — effectively the balance curve. Floating drawdowns of still-open positions stay hidden.
- StratlyzeReconstructs the true equity with floating P&L — every dip and dead stretch you actually lived through.
- MT5 import
- QuantAnalyzerPairs entries and exits FIFO. MT5 exports have no position id and up to three lots can be open at once, so the pairing can be wrong.
- StratlyzeBack-solves each closed lot from its realized profit — the correct open inventory, not a FIFO guess.
- Prop-firm rules
- QuantAnalyzerNot its focus. No daily-loss / max-drawdown / consistency rule engine for prop accounts.
- StratlyzeA configurable rule engine that checks whether your own backtest stayed within the thresholds you set — plus a user-driven what-if to model per-EA lot factors on your own data (linear, in-sample — labelled).
- Sessions
- QuantAnalyzerNo session persistence — you re-import your reports each time you open it.
- StratlyzeYour strategies and portfolios are saved locally in a Databank — reopen and continue.
- Honesty labeling
- QuantAnalyzerReports numbers without a basis/resolution qualifier on each figure.
- StratlyzeEvery figure carries its basis and resolution; what can’t be computed exactly is labelled, not faked.
- Interface
- QuantAnalyzerCapable but dated desktop UI; development has been quiet for a long stretch.
- StratlyzeA modern, accessible UI on web and native (Windows & macOS), actively built.
- Analysis depth
- QuantAnalyzerDeep, mature analytics — genuinely strong, and where it set the bar.
- StratlyzeWe match that depth across distribution, periods, symbols, times, sequence and risk.
- Scope
- QuantAnalyzerBroad: many platforms, Monte Carlo on fitted models, optimization, money management.
- StratlyzeFocused on MT5 + the prop-rule thresholds you configure. Our Monte Carlo reshuffles real trades only; what-if and optimization are out of scope on purpose.
Comparison reflects QuantAnalyzer’s closed-trade equity model and prop-firm scope as we understand them — not a knock on a tool we respect. The one claim we stake everything on, true equity with floating P&L, is validated to the cent against a known MT5 report.
