Adaptrade Builder makes it easy to discover, code, and test thousands of unique and complete TradeStation trading strategies in minutes. Builder can discover and code trading systems for automated trading of stocks, futures, forex, ETFs, and other markets on time intervals from tick data to monthly bars. Adaptrade Builder generates complete EasyLanguage® strategy code in open format, ready to be copied into the TradeStation platform for execution.


TradeStation is an award-winning trading platform for stocks, futures, forex, and other markets that supports automated trading. Builder has been designed to generate strategy code that can be directly executed in the TradeStation platform, including day trading strategies for automated trading.
