Indicator IDE

The Indicator IDE is an advanced development environment for creating, testing, and refining custom trading indicators and scripts.

Key Features​

  • Integrated Code Editor: Write custom trading logic. Features include real-time Code Quality Checks and an AI QA Debugger to identify and fix issues automatically.
  • AI Code Generation: Describe your logic in natural language and let the AI generate the indicator code for you.
  • Interactive Chart Workspace: View your indicators live on the chart. Switch timeframes, manage your watchlist, and execute manual trades directly using the integrated Quick Trade panel.
  • Advanced Backtesting: Test scripts against historical data. Configure parameters like Initial Capital, Leverage, Commission, Slippage, and Trade Direction (Long/Short/Both). View detailed metrics, equity curves, and trade logs.
  • Parameter Tuning & AI Optimization: Run structured tuning (Grid/Random) or use the AI Experiment engine to automatically discover the most profitable parameters for your indicator.
  • Strategy Directives: Define strict operational rules directly inside your indicator script.
  • Publish & Share: Seamlessly publish your finished indicators to the Indicator Market or convert them into Trading Bots.

How to Use​

  1. Develop Your Logic: Open the Indicator IDE. Write your script manually or use the AI Generate feature in the left panel. IDE Overview

  2. Review on Chart: Switch to the Chart tab to overlay your indicator on real-time price action.

  3. Manual Execution (Quick Trade): While on the Chart tab, click the lightning bolt icon in the toolbar to toggle the Quick Trade panel and execute trades instantly based on your indicator's signals.

  4. Configure Backtest: Switch to the Backtest tab. Set your date range, capital, and risk parameters, then click Run Backtest. Backtest

  5. Optimize: If the results need improvement, use the AI Optimize button or jump to the AI Experiment tab to run parameter tuning.

  6. Save & Publish: Once satisfied, save the indicator. You can then publish it to the Indicator Market or create a Strategy from it.

Troubleshooting & FAQ​

  • Why is my backtest showing no trades? Double-check your indicator script logic to ensure entry and exit conditions are actually being met. Also, verify that the selected backtest date range has sufficient price volatility.
  • The AI Generation produced invalid code. The AI writes code based on your prompt. Try to break down your logic into simpler, step-by-step instructions. You can use the AI QA Debugger feature to auto-fix syntax errors.
  • How do I save my custom indicator without publishing it? Just click "Save". Your script will remain private in your personal workspace until you explicitly choose to Publish it.
  • Does the IDE support importing external Python libraries? No, the Indicator IDE uses a proprietary sandboxed scripting language optimized for high-performance trading logic and security.
