Build, backtest, and deploy bots that trade long and short — on a platform obsessed with the hardest half. When the chart drops, your equity doesn't.
Three stages, one loop. The same discipline a peregrine uses to hunt — patience at altitude, then a committed, vertical strike.
Drag entry, exit and risk blocks in the visual builder — or drop into Python. Define what a breakdown looks like: RSI divergence, failed breakout, volume exhaustion.
Run against a decade of tick data with realistic borrow costs, slippage and short-availability. See drawdown, Sharpe, and hit-rate before a cent is at risk.
Paper-trade first, then flip to live. The bot watches the tape 24/6, sizes positions to your risk budget, and stoops the instant your setup triggers.
Every backtest and live order accounts for locate fees, hard-to-borrow rates and buy-in risk — the numbers shorts actually live and die by.
Per-trade stops, portfolio heat limits and a squeeze circuit-breaker that flattens positions when short interest spikes against you.
10+ years of intraday data, corporate actions and realistic fills. No lookahead, no survivorship bias, no fantasy Sharpe.
Start in the visual builder, eject to a full Python SDK when you outgrow it. Version, fork and diff strategies like real code.
Live P&L, exposure and per-bot health. Push alerts to your phone the moment a bot stoops or a rail trips.
Route through Interactive Brokers and Alpaca, with more on the way. Your capital stays at your broker — Peregrine never touches custody.
Shorting punishes sloppy risk faster than any long book. Peregrine's engine simulates borrow costs, gap risk and squeezes so the equity curve you see is the one you'll trade.
Hypothetical example — not a real or achieved result.
Fades stocks that spike above resistance on weak volume, then roll over. Classic short trap.
Shorts low-float gappers that fade at the open. Tight stops, fast exits, high turnover.
Shorts post-earnings weakness where guidance disappoints. Holds the drift for days.
Build your first short-selling bot in minutes. Paper-trade free — go live when the numbers earn it.
