trade evolved
Explore markets. Test an investing idea.
An ecosystem is a market. A species is an investing strategy following explicit rules. Explore either, then replay an idea through market history. Paper simulation only.

Two ways to use Trophik
Ecosystems
Explore a market through time. Select a security, read its history, and see which species hold it. You can explore without creating a strategy.
Explore ecosystems →Species
Inspect an investing strategy and the rules it follows. Open a public example, examine its holdings, and replay its record through history.

Access and pricing
Explore freely. Make it your own.
Explore the US large cap 100 daily field and published species examples without an account. Replay history, inspect holdings, and read their Results.
A free account lets you create and save personal species in the app. Field Pass increases capacity; it is not required to explore the public collection.
Free account
Free covers the US large cap 100 over the last 12 months. It gives 1 species and 1 variant of it, unlimited runs, and 5 compiles a day (50 a month).
Open the app to get started →Field Pass
$4.99 a month, or $39.99 a year
Field Pass pricing is pre-launch.
Field Pass adds the full history, every other market, variation and mating, Form and Scratch, and the sealed test. It removes the cap on species and variants. It gives 30 compiles a day (200 a month).
A compile turns a description into proposed rules.
What the allowances cover
- Species
- Saved strategies, each with its own rules.
- Runs
- Replays of those rules through a chosen historical period.
- History
- How far back a run can start. Free covers the last 12 months.
- Compiles
- Requests to turn a description into rules, including a revised description or a new retry. The daily allowance resets at midnight Eastern time. The monthly allowance resets on the first of the month, Eastern time.
How compile usage is counted
A request reserves a compile. If the service returns no usable answer, that allowance is refunded. A returned rules proposal still counts if it cannot be expressed or validated, or if you choose not to run it.

Simulation, data and limitations
The ecosystem describes historical data. It does not predict prices, rank stocks or suggest a trade. This is not investment advice. Nothing here routes to an order.
Prices and market values are from Financial Modeling Prep. Read the data sources and corrections.
WHY I BUILT TROPHIK
An ecologist's question about markets
Ecology and programming led me to Trophik's central idea: imagine investing strategies as species and the market as their environment.
