From a sentence to a strategy
Write the idea the way you would explain it to a colleague. ActFx compiles it into a strategy and backtests it right away.
ActTrader / Marketplace
Bring your strategies.
Or build new ones.
Write a trading idea in plain English and ActFx turns it into a strategy you can read, test and run. Already have MetaTrader EAs? Bring them across. Then buy strategies, or list your own, on the marketplace.
Advanced EA strategies with ActFx
Describe the idea.
Read the rules.
ActFx is the strategy builder and executor inside ActTrader. It turns a plain-English idea into a strategy with entry, stop and target logic you can read and adjust, then backtests it on the spot. Nothing runs that you can’t inspect.
“Buy EURUSD when the 20-period average crosses above the 50. Stop below the last swing low. Take profit at twice the risk.”
- Entry
- 20-period average crosses above the 50-period average
- Stop
- Below the most recent swing low
- Target
- Two times the distance to the stop
- Limits
- Position and exposure limits set by your desk
An example of the format, not a recommendation. A backtest shows how rules behaved on past data. It does not predict results.
Built from real trading history
ActFx reads the trading history on an account and designs strategies around how that account actually trades.
Runs inside your risk limits
Strategies run under the position and exposure limits you set, so automation stays within your rules.
Every AI action on the record
Each AI action is logged, and every AI query sits in the same audit trail as trading. Your compliance team reviews one record, not two.
Included with the platform
ActFx comes with ActTrader for platform clients. There is nothing separate to license or install.

A few things
worth knowing.
Does ActFx cost extra?
No. ActFx is included with the ActTrader platform for platform clients.
Can we bring our MetaTrader EAs?
Yes. You can import MQL4 and MQL5 Expert Advisors into ActFx, review the converted logic, and run it on ActTrader under your risk limits.
Can I see what a strategy will do before it runs?
Yes. Every strategy shows its entry, stop and target logic in plain terms, and you can backtest it before it goes live. A backtest shows how the rules behaved on past data. It is not a forecast.
What happens when we enable a listing?
It goes live for your desk and your clients, on the same accounts, KYC and margin they already use.
Who can list on the marketplace?
Strategy teams, liquidity providers, payment service providers and compliance vendors, integrating through the same REST and WebSocket APIs the platform uses.
