AI Strategy Builder

ForgeAlpha's AI Builder lets you create trading strategies by describing them in plain English. The AI translates your ideas into fully configured rules ready for backtesting and deployment.

How It Works

1. Describe your strategy — tell the AI what you want to trade, when to enter, when to exit, and how to manage risk
2. AI generates rules — the system creates entry rules, exit rules, indicator configurations, and lot sizing parameters
3. Review and edit — inspect every generated rule, modify parameters, add conditions, or remove unwanted logic
4. Backtest — run the strategy against historical data to validate performance
5. Deploy or iterate — deploy as a live/paper bot, or ask the AI for improvements

AI Suggestions

For any strategy (AI-built or reverse-engineered), you can request AI improvement suggestions:

• Risk analysis — identifies missing stop-losses, excessive exposure, or high-risk configurations
• Parameter optimization — suggests indicator adjustments, lot sizing changes, or cooldown additions
• Cost analysis — evaluates whether trading costs make the strategy unprofitable
• Safety warnings — flags strategies that require more capital than allocated

Every suggestion is presented for your review — nothing is applied without your approval.

Strategy Analysis (Reverse-Engineering)

When you upload trade history, ForgeAlpha automatically:

1. Parses your file — supports JSON, CSV, and MT5 HTML statement exports with automatic format detection
2. Extracts statistics — win rate, profit factor, drawdown, holding times, session patterns
3. Detects patterns — grid spacing, direction bias, position clustering, and more
4. Generates rules — creates strategy rules that replicate the detected patterns
5. Suggests improvements — AI reviews the extracted strategy and recommends enhancements

Supported Input Formats

• JSON — trade data as an array or wrapped in an object
• CSV — comma or tab delimited with automatic column detection
• MT5 HTML — standard MetaTrader 5 statement export

Cost Warnings

The AI automatically evaluates cost impact and warns you when:

• Expected profits don't cover spread, commission, and slippage costs
• Full grid expansion would exceed your allocated capital
• Assigned capital is below the recommended minimum
• Martingale configuration creates exponential blowup risk
