# Give clients tools they will actually use.

> Clients who build and test their own rules understand what they are doing. AlgoBars gives your clients those tools under your brand, without asking them to move their money.

## What gets in your way.

- **Clients want automation** Building it yourself takes years and a team.
- **Support load** Clients running code they cannot read call you when it surprises them.
- **Switching is hard** New tools that need new accounts do not get adopted.

## How AlgoBarsX helps.

- **Your brand** AlgoBars offers a white-label platform for brokerages, with your logo, colours and domain. Terms are on the AlgoBars brokers page. [See white label](https://algobars.com/brokers)
- **Works with their accounts** AlgoBars links to MetaTrader 4, MetaTrader 5, cTrader and Interactive Brokers accounts. Clients keep their account and their money where it is. [See broker list](https://algobars.com/brokers)
- **Code clients can read** Every script is read back in plain English, which means fewer surprises and fewer calls. [Read more](https://algobarsx.com/docs/what-is-algobarsx/)
- **Honest tests** Tests state plainly what they leave out. That is good for your clients and for you. [Read more](https://algobarsx.com/docs/#execution-rules)
- **House strategies, sealed** Offer your own strategies and indicators as sealed files that state what they do. [Read more](https://algobarsx.com/docs/abx-files/)
- **Clients bring their scripts** They can import from six other languages. [Read more](https://algobarsx.com/convert/)

## Code your whole team can read.

This is a complete strategy. A risk manager, a partner or a new hire can follow it. The compiler also writes it out in plain English.

```algobarsx
strategy "EMA Cross"
    market: EURUSD
    bars: 15m

input fast = 20
input slow = 50

when crosses_above(ema(close, fast), ema(close, slow)):
    buy risk: 1%, stop: 25 pips, target: 2R

when crosses_below(ema(close, fast), ema(close, slow)):
    close_all
```

The compiler reads it back:

> When the EMA of the close over `fast` bars crosses above the EMA of the close over `slow` bars, it buys at market, risking 1% of the balance, with a stop 25 pips from the entry and with a target 2R from the entry.

> When the EMA of the close over `fast` bars crosses below the EMA of the close over `slow` bars, it closes all trades.

> **What to check with us first.** AlgoBarsX is in beta. There is no public API yet. White-label terms, broker connections and admin tools are set out on the [AlgoBars brokers page](https://algobars.com/brokers). Your licences, client rules, suitability checks and record keeping stay your job. AlgoBars does not give legal or compliance advice.

## Good questions.

**Do clients have to open new accounts?** No. AlgoBars links to the accounts they already have at supported brokers.

**Does AlgoBars hold client money?** No. AlgoBars is software, not a broker. It links to accounts at supported brokers. It never holds money and it does not give advice.

**Who is responsible for what clients build?** Clients write and run their own rules. AlgoBars is a tool and gives no advice. Your own duties to clients do not change.

**What does beta mean for us?** The language works and passes 678 tests on every build. It is still being improved, so some syntax and features may change. Plan for that.

## Important

Trading is risky and you can lose money. AlgoBars is software, not a broker or an adviser. Backtests are hypothetical and leave out spread, fees, swaps and slippage. AlgoBarsX is in beta.
