Not sure where to begin?
Your first 15 minutes with AT24Backtest a trading idea for free (Quant Lite)Turn an idea into rules, test it on real history and download the code.about 10 minutes
- Open the Quant Lite builder.
- Pick indicators, set the BUY and SELL conditions, and define the stop-loss and take-profit rules.
- Choose a supported symbol, timeframe and date range. Coverage is checked before you run.
- Run the backtest. It uses one deterministic engine on real historical data.
- Read the metrics, equity curve and full trade ledger, and the panel that lists the exact assumptions behind the result.
- If you want the code, download MT4, MT5 or Pine Script from the Code Generation section of the results page, and test it before using it live.
A backtest describes how a strategy would have behaved in the past. It is not a prediction.
Open the builderUse your licence key in an Expert AdvisorWhere the key is and where it goes in MetaTrader 5 or 4.about 5 minutes
- After you buy, open your purchase page and use the reveal option to show your licence key. It looks like AT24-<licence id>.<key>.
- Copy the whole string, with no spaces.
- In MetaTrader, open Tools, Options, Expert Advisors and allow WebRequest for https://www.algotraders24.ai.
- Attach the Expert Advisor to a chart and paste the key into its licence key input (InpLicenseKey). Allow algo trading.
- The Expert Advisor checks the key with AT24 and, by default, binds it to the trading account and server it first runs on.
A key runs only the product it was bought for, and on one account at a time. You can move it to another trading account (2 changes in 30 days). If it says the licence is invalid, check that you copied the full string and that the licence shows as ACTIVE on your Licenses page.
