Research Credit Pricing
Start free. Additional credit purchasing is paused during beta.
New accounts receive 10 complimentary research credits. Purchasing additional credits is temporarily disabled while we finalize the paid research workflow.
We are still in beta. Pricing and credit usage may be refined as we learn from real research workloads. No Stripe checkout is active right now.
Planned research credit packages
See the packages planned for launch.
These packages are shown for reference only. Purchasing is not open yet. When paid research opens, your payment statement will show EdgeQuery.
60 CREDITS
Deep Research
Built for several focused investigations or a deeper multi-step research process.
$39
140 CREDITS
Research Lab
For active developers who expect to investigate multiple strategies or run deeper research repeatedly.
$79
Questions about research you already paid for are included. Ask EdgeQuery to explain a finding, defend a conclusion with evidence, clarify why it believes your strategy has—or does not have—an edge, or show what would change the conclusion. Additional credits are used only when a follow-up requires new analysis, new data, or another research engine.
Credits do not expire during beta. No subscription required. New accounts receive 10 complimentary research credits. Additional purchases are currently disabled.
Purchasing status
Purchasing is paused.
No Stripe checkout links are active right now. Payment options will be enabled only when BackTest Forensics is ready to accept paid research orders.
Purchasing is currently paused. No payment can be initiated from this page.
You can still create a free account and use the complimentary research credits provided during beta.
What credits are used for
Research depth determines credit usage.
We do not automatically run every engine against every backtest. The investigation follows the evidence, and credit use reflects the market data, reconstruction and research required to answer the question.
| Research engine / investigation | What it investigates | Typical credits |
|---|---|---|
| Edge DiagnosticFirst gate | Whether the strategy shows a credible edge worth deeper investigation. | 10 |
| Economic EventLower intensity | Whether trades were actually open during scheduled economic or central-bank events, and how those exposures performed. | 10–15 |
| Trend Quality & RegimeLower intensity | Trending, weakening, rotational and changing market conditions. | 10–15 |
| Gamma ExposureLower intensity | How long and short trades historically perform across different GEX market-structure environments. | 10–15 |
| Volume Profile & Market StructureModerate | Value, POC, rotational/choppy behavior and where trades occur relative to important volume structure. | 15–25 |
| Order Flow & Spoof DetectionData intensive | Liquidity authenticity, order-flow behavior and MBO-level investigation. | 25–40+ |
| Multi-Engine Forensic InvestigationAdvanced | Combines multiple research engines when the question requires several market-state perspectives. | 40–80+ |
These are estimated research ranges, not fixed charges. Before deeper work begins, the system should make the expected research intensity clear. A focused question may use less capacity than a large reconstruction or MBO-level investigation.
