6 questions • What AlgoBars is, and how to begin.

AlgoBars is a place where you build a trading bot by typing what you want in plain words and launch it to the markets live. You do not write code. Write it out in plain english. The bot is built for you, tested on real past data, and then it can trade for you at your own broker. You can try it free at algobars.com/ai.

No. Not one line. You type your idea the way you would say it out loud. Something like buy when the price breaks above the morning high. AlgoBars turns that into a real strategy for you. It can be as simple or as complex as you want. The possibilities are endless!

No. If you know what you want to happen, that is enough to start. The AI asks simple questions and fills in the rest. You can also open any of our ready made strategy templates and change a few words.

Go to algobars.com/ai and make a free account. It takes about two minutes. Type your first idea, watch it get tested, and see the results. You do not need a card to try it.

Yes. The entire platform is free: real-time charting, the trade calculator, the trade journal, AlgoSocial, order execution and automation on integrated brokers, with unlimited custom indicators and sub-millisecond real-time data. There are no plans and no card.

You can build a strategy, test it on years of past prices, and see if it made money. Most people do all three in under an hour. Going live at a broker is a separate step you choose when you feel ready.

Building a Bot

5 questions • How your words become a working strategy.

The AI reads your sentence and picks the rules that match it. Entry, exit, stop loss, and size. It shows you the plan in plain words so you can check it. If it is not what you meant, you just say so and it changes.

AlgoBuilder is where you can create unlimited strategy combinations using extensive databases and automation by just writing it out in plain English. Or you can type it in the chat and it'll do the work for you. Use whichever feels easier to you.

Yes, any time. Ask for a tighter stop, a bigger target, or a different time of day. You can also pause it, copy it, or throw it away. Nothing is locked.

Over 100 of them. Moving averages, momentum, volatility, volume, trend strength, and more. You can also combine several at once with the Indicator Matrix to create unlimited custom indicators.

Yes. AlgoBars covers 6 asset classes: forex, crypto, metals, indices, stocks, and energy. One strategy can watch many markets at the same time.

Testing a Strategy

5 questions • Proving an idea before you risk money.

AlgoBarsX is the trading language AlgoBars runs on. You write a strategy, indicator or alert in a few readable lines, and the same code runs on the chart, in backtests, in alerts and live. Writing and running your own is free. Meet AlgoBarsX.

Yes, for free. AlgoBarsX imports Pine Script, MQL4 and MQL5, NinjaScript, EasyLanguage, thinkScript and Python (backtrader, freqtrade and pandas). Every line comes back marked as carried over, adapted with a note, or left for you to decide.

A backtest runs your strategy over real past prices to see how it would have done. You get the profit, the win rate, the worst drop, and every trade it would have taken. Backtests are free and unlimited, so test as much as you like.

This is the part we care about most. Our tests have no look-ahead, which means the strategy never gets to peek at prices it could not have known yet, and the same test gives the same answer every time. Profit is the pure price move: spread, commission, swaps and slippage are not added, so you see the raw edge of your rules.

It shuffles your trades into many different orders to see how much of your result was luck. If your strategy only wins in one lucky order, you want to know that before you go live.

Unlimited, and they are free on every account. Testing is how you learn, so run as many as you want.

Years of past prices, down to single seconds. Longer tests across calm and wild markets tell you more than a good week does.

Going Live

5 questions • Connecting a real broker and trading for real.

You can connect MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5 and cTrader. There is also a direct MT5 bridge for a faster link. Your money stays at your broker. AlgoBars only sends the orders.

No. Your cash sits in your own broker account, in your name. You can disconnect any time and the account is still yours.

Yes, instantly. There is a stop button, and you can close positions yourself at the broker too. You are always in charge.

No. Plenty of people build and test for weeks first. Going live is a button you press when you are ready, not something that happens to you.

Signals are real time and tests run in under 10 milliseconds of compute. How fast your order actually fills depends on your broker, not on us.

Copy Trading and the Marketplace

3 questions • Follow good traders, or sell your own work.

It is the place where traders share strategies. You can follow someone good and copy their trades into your own account, or you can list your own strategy for others.

Yes. Creators keep 80% of every sale. AlgoBars keeps 20%. If your strategy is good, it can pay for your own trading.

Yes. Once you follow someone, their trades can run in your account with your own size limits. You set how much risk you are willing to take.

Brokers & Prop Firms

1 question • White-label the whole platform for your own clients.

Yes. Brokers and firms can put their own brand on the whole platform and set their own prices. They pay only for the compute their traders use. You can read more on Brokers Page here.

Safety and Help

3 questions • Keeping your account safe and getting answers.

We use 2FA and identity checks, and every partner runs in its own separate space.

Yes. Trading can lose money, and a bot does not change that. Test first, start small, and only risk money you can afford to lose. Anyone who promises you sure profit is lying.
