QRC Lodestar reads your optimization results, isolates the parameter region that actually holds, and grades how far you can trust it — then simulates your odds of passing an FTMO or The5ers challenge and checks the edge survives on data it never saw. All on your machine.
MetaTrader 4 & 5 · cTrader · NinjaTrader · TradingView · Python — Windows desktop, 100% offline
Run ten thousand passes and the best one will look spectacular — because it fit the noise, not the market. That's the strategy that sails through backtesting and quietly dies on a funded account. Lodestar exists to tell you, before you pay a challenge fee, whether the result in front of you is a real edge or an expensive illusion.
Lodestar turns a wall of optimization passes into a clear, defensible verdict — and refuses to flatter a strategy that doesn't deserve it.
Clusters every optimization pass, finds the region that stays profitable across neighbouring settings, and grades it 0–100. High means robust; low means curve-fit.
Monte-Carlos thousands of attempts under FTMO 2-Step and The5ers High Stakes rules — real targets, daily-loss and drawdown limits — and reports your probability of passing both phases.
Run your recommended inputs on a later period the strategy never saw. Lodestar measures how much of the edge survived — the line between a real system and an overfit one.
Reads your inputs and flags martingale, grid stacking, hedging and other mechanics prop firms restrict or ban — so you don't fail on a rule you didn't know applied.
Instead of the single lucky pass, get the robust-cluster settings actually worth trading, with the stability behind them and a clean PDF report to keep.
Everything runs locally. Your strategies and results never leave your computer — no uploads, no account, no internet required. Ever.
Drop in your optimization export — CSV, XLSX, XML or HTML. Lodestar maps the columns automatically across every major platform.
It clusters the passes, isolates the robust region, and scores reliability with a transparent, line-by-line breakdown.
See your prop-firm pass odds, out-of-sample result, compliance flags, and the parameter set worth trading.
