AI strategy builder
Build trading strategies with AI — in plain English
Last updated: · Reviewed by the INDfolio AI research desk
In short
INDfolio AI’s AI strategy builder turns a plain-English description — “buy NIFTY futures when the 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA and RSI is under 60, 1% stop, 2% target” — into a complete, editable trading strategy: entry and exit rules, position sizing and risk controls. Every generated rule is visible in the visual builder, so nothing is a black box, and the strategy is immediately runnable on INDfolio AI’s institutional-grade NSE backtester, then in paper trading and live deployment to seven Indian brokers. Free plan: 5 generations a month; unlimited on paid plans.
Type "buy NIFTY futures when the 20 EMA crosses above the 50 EMA and RSI is under 60, exit at 1% stop-loss or 2% target" and INDfolio AI turns it into a complete, editable trading strategy. Entry rules, exit rules, position sizing and risk controls — generated in seconds, visible in full, and ready to backtest on NSE historical data.
Nothing is a black box. Every rule the AI writes appears in the visual builder, where you can inspect it, adjust a threshold, add a filter or rewrite a condition. You always know exactly what your strategy does before a single order is placed.
Plain English in, strategy out
Describe your idea the way you would explain it to another trader. The AI handles indicators, conditions and order logic.
Fully editable output
Generated strategies open in the visual builder. Change any rule, threshold or filter — no regeneration required.
Indian instruments understood
NIFTY, BANKNIFTY, stock futures, options strikes, lot sizes and intraday square-off times are first-class concepts, not afterthoughts.
Straight into validation
One click from generation to backtest, then optimisation, Monte Carlo simulation, paper trading and live deployment.
How the AI strategy generator works
You describe the strategy: the setup you trade, the indicators you trust, when to enter, when to exit, and how much risk you accept. INDfolio AI parses that description into structured rules — indicator definitions, entry and exit conditions, stop-loss and target logic, and position sizing — and assembles them into a runnable strategy.
The generated rules render as connected blocks in the no-code builder. That matters for two reasons. First, transparency: you can audit exactly what will trade. Second, iteration: when the backtest shows the stop is too tight or the filter too loose, you edit the block instead of starting over.
Because generation is unlimited on paid plans (five per month free), the practical workflow is conversational: generate, backtest, refine the description or the blocks, and re-test — often several complete iterations in one sitting.
From idea to live orders without writing code
Most Indian retail traders who want to automate get stuck at the same wall: broker APIs require programming. INDfolio AI removes that wall end to end. The AI builds the strategy, the backtester validates it against years of NSE data with realistic Indian costs, paper trading rehearses it on live market data, and deployment sends real orders through your broker’s official API — Zerodha, Fyers, Dhan, Angel One, Upstox, Alice Blue or Shoonya.
Risk controls are part of the strategy, not an add-on: maximum daily loss, position limits and automatic square-off run in the cloud with your strategy, so protection does not depend on your laptop being awake.
