## 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.

> **Please keep it honest.** Do not promise profits or imply that a tool makes trading safe. Tests are hypothetical and leave out costs. Rules on introducing clients differ by country, and following them is your job.

## Good questions.

**Do I need to know how to code?** No. The code reads like plain words, it reads itself back in English, and you can type your idea in plain English and press Convert to AlgoBarsX.

**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.

**Will live results match a backtest?** No. Tests use past prices and leave out spread, fees, swaps and slippage. Past results do not tell you what will happen next.

## 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.
