Turn a trading idea into a tested strategy
Most traders have rules in their head and no way to test them. The MarkIQ SI Algo Lab turns your idea into exact rules, tests them on years of real price history, and gives you the code for MT5 and TradingView, without writing code yourself.
Build
Strategy Builder
Describe your strategy in plain words, or draw your trades on a chart and the builder finds the rules that match them. Check every rule before anything is tested.
Indicator Studio
Describe an indicator in plain words (moving averages, Bollinger Bands, Supertrend, RSI, MACD, Stochastic, buy and sell arrows from ICT, SMC and price-action signals, alerts), see it on a real chart with years of history, then add it to TradingView or MT5.
Code you can read and keep
Every strategy and indicator exports as MQL5 for MetaTrader 5 and Pine Script v6 for TradingView. The Algo Lab page shows a full Pine Script strategy typing out, the same kind of code you take away.
Test it honestly
Backtests on real history
Test on 1 to 10 years of real price history and see the trades, win rate, profit factor and drawdown.
A safe optimiser
It tunes settings on 70% of the history and judges them on the unseen 30%, and flags settings that only worked by luck, so you do not fool yourself.
One MT5 bot, several markets
Trade up to six markets with one MT5 bot, each with its own stop and target, plus shared limits on open trades, total risk, trades per day and daily loss, and a combined backtest.
Automate, with you in control
Event Intelligence: the NFP agent
An AI agent reads the US jobs report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics the moment it is out, compares the surprise with past market reactions and paper-trades gold and EUR/USD on the Trading Desk. Every decision is logged.
AI Trading Agents (in development)
Your own team of AI agents that watch the markets, check news, trend and risk, write a short memo for every idea, and trade on MT5 or Deriv only after you approve. Your password is never needed.
AI-assisted, you approve
AI helps write rules, explain data and prepare decisions. You see the rules, the test and the code, and you decide what runs.
Learn to build trading bots with us
The founder of MarkIQ SI is an AI and machine learning engineer who builds and tests trading strategies, and the Academy teaches the same process. Classes run in person at the MarkIQ SI trading floor in Oke-Ilewo, Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria, and online for students anywhere.
Trading Automation: Bots & Trading Agents
Six weeks from idea to a tested bot and a trading agent design: turning a strategy into clear entry, exit and risk rules; building indicators with signal arrows and alerts; building the bot with filters, sessions, stops, targets and risk limits; backtesting, over-fitting and out-of-sample checks; installing an Expert Advisor on MT5, running it on a VPS and going live safely; then, in week 6, designing a trading agent that checks news, trend and risk and waits for your approval.
Learn on the Algo Lab
Students build their own indicator for TradingView, build and backtest their own strategy on two markets, and run it on a demo account, so they leave with a bot they understand and can change.
Also in the Pro programme
Trading automation is weeks 12 to 14 of the Pro: Complete Forex Trader Program, after risk management, technical and fundamental analysis.
From idea to demo account
- Describe your strategy in plain words, or draw the trades you would take on a chart.
- Check the rules the builder wrote and fix anything that is not what you meant.
- Backtest on years of real history and look at every trade.
- Use the safe optimiser and keep only settings that hold up on the unseen data.
- Export to MT5 or TradingView and run it on a demo account before any real money.
A backtest shows how rules would have done in the past; it does not guarantee future results, and no bot can guarantee profit. Always test on a demo account first. MarkIQ SI provides education and market information, not financial advice. Trading carries a high risk of loss.
Questions
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You describe the strategy or indicator in plain words, or draw trades on a chart, and the Algo Lab writes the rules and the code.
Can I export to MetaTrader 5 and TradingView?
Yes. Strategies and indicators export as MQL5 for MT5 and Pine Script v6 for TradingView.
What data are backtests run on?
On 1 to 10 years of real price history for the market you choose.
What does the safe optimiser do?
It tunes settings on 70% of the history, then judges them on the 30% it never saw, and flags fragile settings that only worked by chance.
Can a bot guarantee profit?
No. No bot can guarantee profit. MarkIQ SI shows the honest test results and asks you to run any bot on a demo account first.
What is the NFP agent?
An AI agent that reads the US jobs report on release day and paper-trades gold and EUR/USD on the Trading Desk, with every step logged. It does not trade real money.
When will the AI Trading Agents be available?
They are in development. They are designed to trade only after you approve each trade.
Can MarkIQ SI teach me to build trading bots?
Yes. The Trading Automation course teaches you to turn a strategy into rules, build indicators and bots for MT5 and TradingView, backtest them properly, avoid over-fitting and run them on a demo account before going live. Week 6 then teaches you to design a trading agent that checks news, trend and risk and asks you before it trades. Classes are in person in Abeokuta, Nigeria, and online. Outlines and prices are at markiqsi.com/courses.
