Full facts
| Category | Backtesting |
|---|---|
| Assets | US-listed stocks, ETFs (long only; no crypto, options, forex or CFDs) |
| Live vs paper | backtest, paper and live: strategies run in Tactfolio's own paper account or your Alpaca account (paper or live); Tactfolio recommends starting with Alpaca paper keys |
| Order approval / safety | no-code rules-based strategies with backtesting; AI assistants connect over MCP to turn a sentence into rules, run backtests and save a private strategy for you to check, and the launch release says they cannot authorize live trading on their own; you start each strategy yourself in Trade, after which it checks about 15 minutes before the US close and places orders with no per-order approval (sells before buys, never borrows, never trades more than the account has); connects to Alpaca with API keys you paste in (key storage not stated); not a broker, money stays with Alpaca and Tactfolio says it won't change your Alpaca account settings |
| Pricing / free tier | Free $0 (no trading; saved strategies are public); Plus $12/mo or $108/yr (1 live and 25 paper strategies); Pro $29/mo or $261/yr (unlimited live, fair use up to 100 running); 14-day trial on paid plans |
| Rate limits | daily schedule only, never intraday |
