Invitation-Only Launch
The Charting Platform Built for Serious Traders
Backtest, optimize, and walk-forward your strategies, build multi-leg options on a P/L canvas, write custom indicators in JavaScript or WASM, and chart with the official Jake Bernstein indicators — all in one browser-based platform.
Active TickSurfers indicator subscribers receive an invitation — included with any monthly or yearly bundle.
The platform is currently invitation-only. General availability and standalone pricing announced soon — request an invitation to get access.
Everything you need to research, validate, and trade
A full charting workbench: live data, scriptable indicators and strategies, statistical validation, and options analysis.
Strategy Backtest
Run any built-in or custom strategy across full bar history. Get a complete trade log, equity curve, win rate, drawdown, profit factor, and per-trade option markers on the chart.
Parameter Optimization
Grid-search any combination of strategy inputs, symbols, and timeframes. Rank by built-in metrics or write your own fitness script in JavaScript.
Walk-Forward Analysis
Roll in-sample optimization and out-of-sample validation across the bar history to confirm parameter stability — not just curve-fit numbers on a single window.
Multi-Chart Layouts
Open one, two, or a grid of charts side-by-side. Link backtest, optimization, walk-forward, and options panels to specific panes via colored slot binding.
Options Chain & Builder
Browse full chains with Greeks, IV, and last/volume columns. Build long calls, spreads, condors, custom multi-leg strategies, and visualize P/L with breakeven markers on the chart.
Custom Code (JS, WASM, WAT)
Write indicators, strategies, and optimization fitness functions in JavaScript — or compile WebAssembly for raw speed. Sublime-style in-browser code editor, full TA helper library, drawing primitives.
Watchlist with Alerts
Multiple watchlists, custom number/string/formula columns, price alerts (above, below, cross), per-row strategy scans, and one-click self-optimization per symbol.
Drawing & Bar Replay
Trendlines, horizontal/vertical lines, rectangles, circles, triangles, text. Bar-replay scrub with autoplay to study setups bar-by-bar.
Trade Journal
Log every trade — equity, futures, multi-leg options — with entry/exit, stops, profit targets, notes. Auto-computed win rate, win/loss ratio, biggest winner/loser, streaks.
Indicators Built by the Pros
TickSurfers ships with the studies futures traders, systems traders, and professional analysts actually use — plus exclusive series you will not find anywhere else.
Jake Bernstein Indicators
Official rules-based indicators from a 50+ year veteran trader: Moving Average Channel, 8 Open Close, Divergence Triggers (Momentum, MACD, CCI, DPO), and the Daily Sentiment Index.
Explore Jake Bernstein indicators →Futures Premium (Backwardation)
The Futures Premium / Backwardation indicator recommended by Larry Williams. Aligns directly with the contextual trading methods he teaches.

Tools used by prop desks like SMB Capital: ADD ratio, Cumulative TICK, VOLD ratio, RVOL, AVOL, and Volume Z-Score.
Day Trader bundle →Seasonality
A unique seasonality indicator that highlights bullish and bearish windows up to a year forward — for futures, commodities, equities, and crypto.
View seasonality →Expansion Contraction Indicator
Brian Latta's concurrent, dual-perspective system built on Jake Bernstein's methods — 30+ tradable conditions in one indicator.
View Expansion Contraction →Full Indicator Catalog
Browse the entire library — momentum, breadth, internals, volume, futures, divergence triggers, and Jake Bernstein systems.
All indicators →Self-Optimizing Strategies on Every Symbol
Stop tuning a strategy by hand for every market. One click runs a bounded grid-search on recent history, stores the best parameters per symbol, and re-optimizes on your schedule — across the chart, the watchlist, and every backtest you fire afterwards.
One-click per chart
Self-optimize the active chart's strategy with a single toolbar action. Best parameters apply immediately and persist with the workspace.
Per-row in the watchlist
Run the same self-opt across an entire watchlist. Each symbol gets its own best parameter set — no manual tuning row-by-row.
Best params, remembered
Optimal inputs are stored per symbol and reused on every backtest, scan, and chart load until you re-optimize.
Re-optimize on policy
Configurable on-trade re-optimization keeps parameters fresh as market regime shifts — without rewriting the strategy.
Premium indicators on top of the platform
The TickSurfers charting platform pairs with premium indicator bundles — including the official Jake Bernstein indicators and the Daily Sentiment Index.
Every active bundle now includes an invitation to the TickSurfers Charting Platform (currently invitation-only).
