Developing a trading algorithm used to require deep coding expertise and a steep learning curve. However, things have changed significantly with the advancement of AI-powered development tools.
Today, many traders are creating their trading algorithms by simply describing their strategy in plain English. AI tools, like the one we provide, can then generate the core C# code for them. This significantly reduces the technical barrier—you no longer need to be an expert programmer.

What You Need to Know:
A basic understanding of C# programming is helpful, allowing you to review, adjust, or extend the generated code. You must fully understand your trading strategy, how and when to enter, manage, and exit trades. With these two components, AI can handle much of the heavy lifting in writing the initial code structure.
