What is a Mind?

An investing strategy
made from blocks.

In Future, your strategy is called a Mind. Its blocks define which assets to consider, how to compare them and how much to allocate to each one.

Start with a template, read its rules and change them to try your own idea.

Your list sets the boundary. Stocks outside it cannot be selected.

These prices, returns and budget are invented teaching numbers, not historical results or forecasts. Target amounts are before costs. No money is invested.

The same steps, using editable blocks.

Before you start

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Studio uses visual blocks. Start with a template and change its settings. Lessons and reference pages explain what each block does.

What can I try without an account?

You can explore Studio, open templates and read the lessons. Sign in to save your work and run a historical test.

Does building a strategy place a trade?

No. Creating or editing a strategy does not place a real-money trade. Future lets you test strategies on historical data and practise with virtual money. Historical results do not predict future returns.

Is this the interview practice app?
