And if you thought creating a strategy with the uTrade AI Strategy Builder was a tedious task, you’re in for a surprise. You simply need to describe — your market view, timeframe, capital, or risk appetite —and let uTrade AI Strategy Builder do the rest. The AI-powered tool instantly generates a full-fledged algorithmic trading strategy tailored to your inputs. You can then refine it further, backtest it, and review comprehensive performance metrics — all within a few clicks.

From ideation to execution, the uTrade AI Strategy Builder simplifies every step of your strategy-building journey — helping you focus on what really matters: making smarter trading decisions backed by data.

For the process of creating algo strategies, there are certain integrations, in addition to the robust process of strategy creation, that had to be integrated into the AI Strategy Builder. Let’s break down those key integrations that enhance the uTrade AI Strategy Builder’s strategy creation experience:

1. Backtesting – Validate Your Strategy Against Market History

Before risking capital, every algo trader must ask one crucial question: “Would this strategy have worked in the past?” To check that, it is important to backtest the strategy created on historical data. 

With the uTrade AI Strategy Builder’s instant backtesting, you can simulate your strategy against years of historical market data in just a few clicks. All it takes is a simple prompt — specify your trading goals, preferred days, and capital allocation — and the AI Strategy Builder will generate a tailored strategy for you. Once your strategy is ready, just click the ‘Backtest’ button, choose your desired historical date range, and hit ‘Backtest’ again.

In seconds, you’ll get detailed results, giving you a clear picture of how your strategy could have performed in the past market conditions. This backtesting process, which would earlier need several hours, can now be done in a few minutes as it is seamlessly built into the uTrade AI Strategy Builder, powered by uTrade Intelligence. You can test your strategy effortlessly before going live. It saves time, reduces effort, and ensures you’re always ready to seize the right trading opportunities! 

2. Payoff Curves or Charts – Visualise Consistency Over Time

While numbers tell you the outcome, payoff curves reveal the journey. Every strategy you build on the uTrade AI Strategy Builder generates a dynamic, interactive payoff curve — a visual representation of how the strategy would have performed over the test period. 

This helps you answer questions like:

  • Did the strategy perform consistently, or was it dependent on a few big trades?
  • How did it behave in volatile or low-volume periods?
  • Are there recurring dips that point to a hidden weakness?

Once your strategy is generated by the uTrade AI Strategy Builder, accessing the payoff curve is just a click away. Simply hit the ‘Pay-off’ button below your strategy to get started. Here’s a step-by-step guide to accessing payoff charts with the help of uTrade AI Strategy Builder. 

By visualising the payoff curve, you can assess the risk profile and reliability of your strategy — and fine-tune it for greater resilience.

3. P&L and Margin Calculator: Unlock Deeper Insights with uTrade AI Strategy Builder 

The uTrade AI Strategy Builder also gives algo traders access to one of the most crucial performance metrics: P&L.

P&L reflects the average outcome of a strategy over a specific period and is calculated by dividing the average gain on winning trades by the average loss on losing trades. This metric offers valuable insights into both the risk and reward potential of your strategy. But P&L isn’t just about this — it reveals how well a strategy manages risk and adapts to market conditions. By regularly monitoring P&L, traders can fine-tune their algorithms for smarter, more effective performance.

Once your strategy is generated with the uTrade AI Strategy Builder, accessing the P&L is quick and easy. Just click the ‘Pay-off’ button below your strategy and view detailed performance metrics instantly. It’s your go-to snapshot of how the strategy stacks up in real numbers. Here’s a detailed guide for you to access P&L on the uTrade AI Strategy Builder while creating a strategy. 

With uTrade AI Strategy Builder, P&L isn’t just a number — it’s your strategic compass for building smarter, risk-aware, and performance-driven algo trading strategies almost instantly.

Additionally, you can easily check the margin required for deploying a strategy with just a click. Simply click on the ‘Margin’ button below the generated strategy, and you’ll be taken to a page displaying the required margin. You can also modify the parameters there, and the margin will update automatically. You can learn more about accessing the margin for a strategy here. 

4. Seamless Deployment

The final and most crucial aspect integrated into the uTrade AI Strategy Builder is strategy deployment — taking your idea live in the market. Once you're satisfied with the backtested results, deploying your strategy for intraday trading is simple. Just click ‘Save & Deploy’, then choose ‘Live’ from the dropdown menu to activate it in the live market.

And that’s it — in just minutes, you can create, backtest, and deploy a fully functional algo trading strategy with the uTrade AI Strategy Builder, powered by uTrade Intelligence.
