Which one fits your work

StrategyQuant X is the better fit when

you want a machine to search the space of rule combinations for you and you are comfortable buying a lifetime licence.

Stochastly is the better fit when

you design the strategy yourself and want to know how much of its backtest survives the number of trials: the deflated Sharpe ratio, PBO and Romano-Wolf StepM adjust for the variants you tried, and a monthly subscription fits you better than a licence.

Using both

A generator produces many candidates; Stochastly measures the selection. A candidate rebuilt as a graph in Stochastly gets a deflated Sharpe ratio that accounts for the search that produced it.
