Ars Nova Trade

Live project | Frontend and backend development

A web application for building and testing trading strategies across crypto, BIST, US stocks, FX and commodities. Users analyse an asset, build a strategy without code, backtest it and try it with paper money before running it.

Built for: Traders and investors who want to test an idea properly before putting real money behind it.

  • The problem

    Turning a trading idea into something testable usually means spreadsheets, code or several separate tools, and real money is at risk if a strategy has not been tried first.

  • What we did

Goals

  • Help people understand an asset before they trade it
  • Let them build a strategy without writing code
  • Make testing come before real money

Scope and deliverables

  • Frontend development in Next.js
  • Backend development in Python

The challenge

Turning a trading idea into something testable usually means spreadsheets, code or several separate tools, and real money is at risk if a strategy has not been tried first.

  1. Analysis, strategy building, testing and automation often live in separate tools
  2. Writing a strategy normally requires programming
  3. Connecting an exchange account has to feel safe

Our approach and strategy

Blocvibe worked on both sides of the application: the Next.js interface people use and the Python backend behind it. The product itself follows one path from idea to live strategy.

  1. UnderstandFundamental and technical analysis of an asset, on one screen.
  2. BuildA no-code strategy builder, using prebuilt templates, a wizard or a prompt.
  3. TestBacktests on historical data, with an equity curve, trade log and risk metrics.
  4. AutomatePaper trading first, then bots that run a strategy when the user is ready.

Design and user experience

The public site uses a dark, data-focused interface, with the same structure adapted to phones.

  • Strategies always read back as a plain sentence, so the rules are easy to check
  • Results are shown as charts and tables, with past-performance warnings beside them
  • Available in English and Turkish, with a light and dark theme
  • A responsive layout that stacks cleanly on a phone

Technology stack

Frontend

Next.js
The web application people see and use.

Backend

Python
The server side of the application.

Third-party integrations

Challenges and solutions

  • Challenge

    Real money should never be the first test.

    Solution

    Every strategy follows the same path: backtest, paper trading, then real money.

  • Challenge

    Connecting an exchange account has to be safe.

    Solution

    API keys work with trading permission only, so money cannot be withdrawn, and keys are stored encrypted.

  • Challenge

    A running bot must not lose track of risk.

    Solution

    Per-trade stop losses and account protection stop a bot automatically, with email and browser notifications at each step.

End to end

How a Blocvibe project is delivered

The stages we use to run custom software projects. The detail of each one depends on the project.

  1. Discovery and requirements

    We define the problem, the goals and what success looks like, and check that the idea is feasible.

  2. Research and planning

    Scope, priorities, estimates and milestones are agreed in writing before work starts.

  3. Architecture and technical strategy

    We choose the structure, data model and integrations that suit the product and its known limits.

  4. UI/UX design and prototyping

    Key screens and journeys are designed and reviewed, so problems surface before they are expensive to fix.

  5. Frontend development

    The interface is built in short iterations, and you review real, working increments as it takes shape.

  6. Backend and integration

    Data, business rules and connections to your other systems are built and proven against real scenarios.

  7. Testing and quality assurance

    Features are checked against the agreed scope, and any change is discussed before it happens.

  8. Deployment and launch

    The software goes live in the agreed environment, and we hand over what you need to run it.

  9. Support and optimisation

    Where agreed, we keep improving the product as real use shows what matters most.
