Describe the setup. Get a strategy you can actually read.
Most people can explain their setup to another trader in one sentence. Turning that sentence into indicators, thresholds, timeframes and a direction is the tedious part — and it is the part that stops people ever writing the strategy down.
Plain English in, a real strategy out
You write something like "buy gold when RSI drops below 30 but only in an uptrend, on the 1 hour". What comes back is a named strategy with each condition stated explicitly — the indicator, its period, the comparison, the threshold, the timeframe and the direction.
It is an ordinary strategy, not a black box. Every condition is visible and every one is yours to change. The AI does the structuring, which is the slow bit; the judgement stays with you.
What "buy gold when RSI drops below 30 but only in an uptrend" becomes
- Name
- Gold Pullback
- Direction
- LONG
- Timeframe
- 1h
- RSI(14)
- < 30
- Close vs EMA(200)
- above
- ADX(14)
- > 20
Note what it added: a trend filter you named only as "an uptrend" became an explicit EMA comparison, and a strength floor was added to keep the pullback from firing in a flat market. You can remove either one — but you can see them.
It will also read your work back to you
Point it at a strategy you wrote by hand and it reviews the conditions the way an experienced trader would: a threshold outside an indicator's possible range, two rules that contradict each other, a filter so loose it is true almost always, a combination so strict it has probably never fired.
That last category is worth dwelling on. A condition that is permanently satisfied and a condition that is never satisfied both produce no alerts, and from the outside those look identical to a broken scanner. Being told which one you have written saves a genuinely frustrating afternoon.
What this does not do
It does not know whether your idea makes money, and it does not claim to. The AI translates and reviews — it turns a description into a definition and points out definitions that cannot work. Whether the resulting strategy has an edge is a question for an entry check and a backtest, and no amount of fluent language changes that. Nothing here is financial advice.
Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe the setup the way you would explain it to another trader — which indicators, which thresholds, which direction, which timeframe — and the AI turns that into a precise strategy definition you can read, edit and run.
Can I edit what the AI produces?
Yes, and you should. What comes back is an ordinary strategy: every condition, threshold and timeframe is yours to change. The AI gives you a starting point that is already structured correctly, which is the slow part of building one by hand.
Will the AI invent a profitable strategy for me?
No. It translates a description into a definition, and it will review a definition you wrote and point out conditions that are too strict to ever fire or too loose to mean anything. Whether the idea has an edge is a question for the backtest, not for the AI.
What happens if I describe something impossible?
It tells you. A condition that can never be satisfied — a threshold outside an indicator's range, two rules that contradict each other — is worth catching at the point you write it rather than discovering through a strategy that has silently never fired.
