Forven is a local-first quant research lab for retail traders. It helps you turn ideas into testable strategies, run gauntlets, and keep only the systems that earn promotion.

Fast path

1. Download Forven for Windows.
2. Import or build a strategy.
3. Run it through the gauntlet.
4. Promote only when the evidence survives.

Core concepts

• Gauntlet: a staged evaluation path for backtests, walk-forward checks, and paper discipline.
• Daemon: a local supervisor for scheduled research and alert workflows.
• Agents: optional co-researchers for deeper research assistance.
• BYOK: bring your own LLM key for agent features.

What Forven is not

Forven is not a signal service, not copy trading, and not a promise of profit. It is a process tool for people who want proof before conviction.
