Crypto strategy builder
A trading strategy is a set of exact rules: when to enter, where the stop loss goes, when to take profit and when to get out. Writing those rules usually means learning a scripting language. On Algonney you describe them in plain words instead. Jarvis, the AI assistant, turns your description into a strategy the engine can run, checks it with the validator, and shows it to you on a card before anything is saved.
Build by chat
Start a chat and describe the idea the way you would explain it to another trader, for example: "On the 1-hour chart, go long when the 50 EMA crosses above the 200 EMA and RSI is above 50. Stop loss below the signal candle's low, take profit at two R." Jarvis builds:
- the timeframe the strategy evaluates on;
- the side: long, short or both;
- the entry conditions and optional exit conditions;
- the stop loss, which every strategy must have;
- the take profit, trailing stop, partial take profit, time exit or session-end exit you asked for.
If something important is missing, such as the stop loss, Jarvis asks instead of guessing. The strategy card shows exactly what the engine will run, in readable form.
Change a strategy
Strategies are changed through the chat as well. Open a saved strategy and choose Edit with AI: the chat starts with that strategy attached, and you say what to change. Each new proposal is a revision, and the card lists every change since the previous revision, so you can see what moved before you save.
Saving a change creates a new version. Versions are never changed after they are saved, so a bot keeps running the version it started with, and every backtest result points to the exact version it tested. You can open any earlier version from the strategy page.
What a strategy can use
Indicators
The engine has 68 indicators: moving averages, oscillators, momentum and trend indicators, volatility and volume measures, statistics, Fibonacci levels, trading sessions and smart money concepts. Each value can read its own timeframe, so a 15-minute entry can check the trend on the 4-hour chart.
Structure detectors
On top of the indicators there are 17 structure detectors that find price-action structures on the chart: order blocks, fair value gaps, liquidity sweeps, market structure breaks, supply and demand zones, support and resistance zones, chart patterns, divergences and more. A stop loss can be placed at a structure level, such as the far edge of an order block. See Technical analysis for the full lists.
Conditions and sequences
Conditions combine values with comparisons and crosses, grouped with AND and OR. A sequence requires events in order, for example a liquidity sweep, then a break of structure, then a retest, and can capture values at each step for later rules.
Your plan sets how far each strategy can go:
| Limit | Free | Starter | Pro | Max |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Structure detectors per strategy | 2 detectors | 4 detectors | 8 detectors | 12 detectors |
| Steps per sequence | 3 steps | 4 steps | 6 steps | 8 steps |
| Conditions per strategy | 60 conditions | 120 conditions | 200 conditions | 400 conditions |
| Condition nesting depth | 8 levels | 12 levels | 16 levels | 24 levels |
| Indicator lookback (candles) | 1,000 candles | 2,000 candles | 5,000 candles | 5,000 candles |
Long, short or both
A strategy can trade one side or both. For the short side you choose a mirror, built by the platform from the long rules, or a custom short with its own rules and stop loss. Spot markets are long only, and a bot on spot refuses a strategy that needs to short.
The validator
Every strategy passes the same validator, whether it comes from the AI or is loaded for a bot. It checks that:
- a stop loss is present: without one a strategy can never be valid;
- every indicator, detector and parameter exists and has a valid value;
- conditions are well formed and do not contradict each other, such as RSI below 20 and above 80 in the same group;
- sequences read only values captured at an earlier step;
- partial take profit parts add up to at most the whole position;
- the strategy stays within your plan's limits.
A strategy that fails shows the exact problem, and Jarvis can fix it in the next revision.
From idea to bot
- Build the strategy by chat and save it.
- Backtest it on real history, testing as the exchange you plan to use. Jarvis can run short backtests inside the chat and explain the trades. See Backtesting.
- Paper trade it on live prices with virtual USDT. See Paper trading.
- Go live when the paper results match what the backtest expected. See Live trading.
Chat messages and backtests are paid with platform tokens; you see an estimate before every paid action. Plans include monthly tokens, see Plans and pricing.

Questions and answers
Can I build a crypto trading strategy without coding?
Yes. You describe the strategy in plain words to Jarvis, the AI assistant, and it turns your description into exact rules: the timeframe, entry and exit conditions, stop loss and take profit. You check the rules on a strategy card and save them. No code is written or needed.
Can I edit a strategy by hand?
Strategies are changed through the chat. Open a saved strategy and choose Edit with AI, then say what to change. Jarvis shows the new rules and every change since the previous revision before you save, and saving creates a new version. The old version stays as it was.
What indicators can a strategy use?
Moving averages, oscillators, momentum, trend, volatility and volume indicators, statistics, Fibonacci levels, trading sessions and smart money concepts, plus structure detectors such as order blocks, fair value gaps and market structure. The full list is on the technical analysis page.
What does the strategy validator check?
That the strategy is complete and can run: a stop loss is present, every indicator and setting exists and has valid values, conditions are well formed and do not contradict each other, sequences read only values captured before them, and the strategy stays within your plan's limits.
Do I need an exchange account to build a strategy?
No. Building, backtesting and paper trading need no exchange key. You connect a trade-only key only when you want to run a bot with real money.
