Trading code has problems. We fixed the big ones.
Most trading code is hard to read, easy to get wrong, and stuck on one platform. Here is each problem in plain words, and what AlgoBarsX does about it.
- $0 a month
- No card needed
- Not a trial
For traders.
| The problem | What AlgoBarsX does |
|---|---|
| I have an idea but I cannot code. | Type the idea in plain English and press Convert to AlgoBarsX. You get real code you can read and change. |
| I cannot tell if the code does what I meant. | Every script is read back to you in plain English by the compiler. If the words are wrong, the code is wrong. |
| One small mistake can cost real money. | Percent, pips, R and money are real types. A stop with no unit is caught before anything runs, with a one-click fix. |
| My backtest looked great. Live was different. | Fills follow 24 written rules. When the data cannot tell, the stop wins. A spent account stops the test. Costs are left out, and the page says so. |
| I rewrite my rules for every tool. | One script draws on the chart, runs the test, sends the alerts and places the orders. |
| My old scripts are stuck on another platform. | Paste them. AlgoBarsX rewrites them and gives you a note on every line. See Convert. |
| Tools cost a lot before I know they work for me. | AlgoBars is $0 a month with no card. You only pay for extra credits if you want them. |
For firms.
| The problem | What AlgoBarsX does |
|---|---|
| Only one developer understands the strategy code. | Scripts read like a written plan, and each has a plain-English description made by the compiler. Risk, compliance and new hires can read it. |
| Research code and live code drift apart. | The same script is tested, replayed and run live. The live runner places stops and sizes trades the way the test did. |
| We cannot show how a test was run. | The fill rules are written down and numbered. The same script, inputs and data give the same result, to the last digit. Every run is kept with the code that made it. |
| Risk limits live in a spreadsheet, not in the system. | Caps on open trades, daily loss and drawdown are lines in the script header, where everyone sees them first. |
| We want to share a strategy without giving away the code. | A sealed .abx file runs on another account without showing the code. It still states what it trades, its inputs and what it does. |
| Every team rebuilds the same helpers. | Shared libraries and indicators are versioned. A script names the version it uses, so an update never changes it by surprise. |
| Our clients want automation. Building it is costly. | AlgoBars offers a white-label platform for brokers and prop firms. See Solutions. |
