Conviction

Conviction is a platform that turns a trading idea written in plain English into an automated trading agent. The user describes the strategy in ordinary language, without code or formulas, and Conviction builds a structured, rules based agent from it. That agent can be backtested against historical market data, run in paper trading against live prices, and then deployed to trade through a connected brokerage with guardrails the user sets. It is for traders who want systematic execution without a quantitative background; the vendor's framing is that you do not need a quant degree or a Bloomberg terminal. Backtests report returns, Sharpe ratio, win rate and drawdowns. Guardrails include stop losses, minimum hold periods and volatility based exits. Agents can act on signals from earnings releases, news, SEC filings and social sentiment as well as price. Live trading connects to Robinhood, Alpaca, Public, E*Trade and Trading 212, and an alert mode sends the signal to the user for manual execution at brokerages that are not integrated. Pricing is not published on the site. The only commercial statement is an invitation to get started for free; there is no pricing page, so any paid tier is disclosed after sign up.
