Question 1

What is FlyTradr AI?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr AI is a guided assistant inside supported FlyTradr workspaces. It can help structure supported strategy ideas, explain available testing context, plan reviewable experiments, and answer approved product questions. It does not replace FlyTradr's validators or your review.

Question 2

Can FlyTradr AI build a strategy for me?

Accepted Answer

It can help translate a supported idea into a structured Strategy Builder draft. You review the draft before loading or using it, and unsupported or incomplete details may require clarification. It does not guarantee that every idea can be represented.

Question 3

Can it analyze my backtests?

Accepted Answer

In supported testing workspaces, it can explain the results and context available to that workspace, compare available artifacts, and help plan a next experiment. Its explanation is educational and does not predict future returns.

Question 4

Can FlyTradr AI optimize my strategy?

Accepted Answer

It can help compare results and propose a reviewable experiment. It does not find a guaranteed best strategy, promise improved returns, or repeatedly tune a strategy until it reaches a profit target.

Question 5

Can the AI place trades or control my broker account?

Accepted Answer

No. The assistant does not place or cancel broker orders, start live trading, withdraw funds, or bypass FlyTradr's permissions and confirmation steps.

Question 6

Does it automatically change or run anything?

Accepted Answer

No. Drafts and setting proposals are shown for review. FlyTradr requires the appropriate validation, permissions, and user action before a supported change is applied or a session is started.

Question 7

Is FlyTradr AI financial advice?

Accepted Answer

No. FlyTradr AI provides product guidance and educational explanations. It does not provide investment advice, trading signals, profit guarantees, or personalized buy and sell recommendations.

Question 8

What information does FlyTradr AI use?

Accepted Answer

It receives bounded context approved for the active workspace, such as supported configuration fields or selected testing summaries. FlyTradr applies redaction and does not store complete raw prompts or model responses in operational audit records by default.

Question 9

Which plans include FlyTradr AI?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr AI is being introduced through a controlled beta, so workspace and plan availability may vary during rollout. The Pricing page will show exact customer-facing allowances when durable tier enforcement is active in production.

Question 10

What happens when I run out of AI credits?

Accepted Answer

New chargeable AI work pauses until the relevant allowance renews or your plan changes. Your conversations, strategies, drafts, testing data, and normal FlyTradr tools are not deleted.

Question 11

What is FlyTradr?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr is an algorithmic trading platform where you can build strategies (no-code), backtest them on historical data, simulate execution with market replay, and paper trade on live market data using virtual capital. See: /docs/getting-started.

Question 12

Do I need coding experience to use FlyTradr?

Accepted Answer

No. The Strategy Builder is designed to let you create strategies visually without writing code. See: /docs/strategy-builder/overview.

Question 13

What are the main tools in FlyTradr?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr includes Strategy Builder (create strategies), Backtesting Lab (historical validation), Trading Simulator (historical replay with execution realism), and Paper Trader (live data simulation). See: /docs/getting-started.

Question 14

What are the system requirements?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr runs in a modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge) and is optimized for desktop screens (minimum 1280×720, best at 1920×1080+). See: /docs/getting-started.

Question 15

How do I create my first strategy?

Accepted Answer

Open Strategy Builder, add indicators, define entry/exit signal conditions, set risk management rules, then save and run a backtest to validate performance. See: /docs/getting-started and /docs/strategy-builder/overview.

Question 16

What can I build with the Strategy Builder?

Accepted Answer

You can build rule-based trading strategies using indicators, entry/exit signals, and risk management rules like stop loss, take profit, and position sizing. See: /docs/strategy-builder/overview.

Question 17

What indicators are available?

Accepted Answer

The Strategy Builder includes 45 built-in indicators, including RSI, MACD, SMA/EMA, Bollinger Bands, and more. See: /docs/strategy-builder/overview.

Question 18

Why do I need a custom name for each indicator?

Accepted Answer

Each indicator requires a unique custom name so you can reference it unambiguously when building signal conditions. See: /docs/strategy-builder/overview.

Question 19

Can I send a strategy directly to Backtesting Lab?

Accepted Answer

Yes. After you build a strategy in Strategy Builder, you can run a backtest from the Backtest action without leaving the workflow. See: /docs/strategy-builder/overview.

Question 20

Why does Strategy Builder say my strategy is invalid?

Accepted Answer

Most validation errors come from missing required fields (like indicator custom names) or missing entry/exit rules. Use the preview/validation panel to see what needs fixing. See: /docs/strategy-builder/overview.

Question 21

What does TradingView Pine Script import mean in FlyTradr?

Accepted Answer

It means you can paste a supported TradingView Pine Script strategy into FlyTradr and convert the compatible logic into editable no-code builder rules. The goal is to preserve the strategy idea and move it into FlyTradr's backtesting, simulation, and paper-trading workflow without rebuilding everything manually.

Question 22

What happens after I import a Pine Script strategy?

Accepted Answer

After import, FlyTradr shows a conversion report and creates editable builder logic for the supported parts of the strategy. You can then review indicators, conditions, and risk settings visually before running a backtest or continuing into simulation and paper trading.

Question 23

Which Pine Script features are commonly supported?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr currently supports many common strategy patterns including strategy name extraction, percent-of-equity sizing, long/short strategy.entry rules under if conditions, basic strategy.close exits, common ta.* indicators such as SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, ATR, ADX, Supertrend, VWMA, KAMA, DEMA, TEMA, OBV, CMF, and standard conditions such as crossover, crossunder, boolean logic, comparisons, highest, lowest, rising, falling, and barsSince-style lookback helpers.

Question 24

What is only partially supported or needs review after import?

Accepted Answer

Some Pine features convert only partially and should be reviewed carefully. Examples include strategy.exit setups using trailing or absolute-price arguments, custom order sizing beyond FlyTradr risk settings, limited request.security higher-timeframe imports, and indicator calls that use another indicator as the source when FlyTradr expects a price source.

Question 25

What is not fully supported yet in Pine Script import?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr is a compatibility converter, not a full Pine runtime. Complex request.security expressions, arrays, loops, runtime drawing state, custom state machines, arbitrary computed series, and many purely visual objects such as plots, labels, lines, boxes, and alertcondition blocks are not treated as full strategy logic support.

Question 26

How does FlyTradr tell me when part of a Pine strategy did not convert cleanly?

Accepted Answer

FlyTradr surfaces a conversion report with warnings and unsupported items instead of silently guessing. That report is the place to see what translated, what needs manual review, and what still needs to be rebuilt or simplified before relying on the imported strategy.

Question 27

Do I need coding knowledge to work with imported Pine strategies?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily. The import feature is meant to help traders start from an existing TradingView strategy and then continue working visually inside FlyTradr. You still need to understand your own strategy logic, but you do not need to keep editing code if the supported logic has already been converted into the builder.

Question 28

What is backtesting in trading?

Accepted Answer

Backtesting means testing a trading strategy on historical market data to see how the rules would have behaved in the past. It helps retail traders evaluate logic, risk, and consistency before using a strategy in simulation, paper trading, or live execution. In FlyTradr, this is handled through Backtesting Lab. See: /backtesting-software and /docs/backtesting-lab/overview.

Question 29

What’s the difference between backtesting and simulation?

Accepted Answer

Backtesting evaluates your strategy on historical data quickly to validate performance. Simulation and paper trading focus on how the strategy behaves during step-by-step execution (replayed or live) with execution realism. See: /docs/backtesting-lab/overview.

Question 30

How far back does historical data go?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the market and provider. The docs list examples like 3+ years for crypto (Binance), 10+ years for stocks/forex/commodities (Yahoo Finance), and 20+ years for indices (Yahoo Finance). See: /docs/backtesting-lab/overview.

Question 31

What results do I get after a backtest?

Accepted Answer

Backtests include performance metrics (like win rate, Sharpe ratio, drawdown), an equity curve, and a detailed trade list with entries/exits and P&L. See: /docs/backtesting-lab/overview.

Question 32

Can I model fees and slippage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Backtesting Lab supports commission and slippage settings so results are closer to real trading conditions. See: /docs/backtesting-lab/overview.

Question 33

How long do backtests take?

Accepted Answer

Single backtests typically run in seconds to under a minute, depending on the date range, timeframe, and strategy complexity. Batch backtests can take longer because each variation is evaluated as its own backtest, even when FlyTradr reuses shared market data where possible. See: /docs/backtesting-lab/overview.

Question 34

Which plans include batch backtesting, and how are limits counted?

Accepted Answer

Batch backtesting is available on paid backtesting tiers only. Pro supports up to 3 variations per batch run and Pro+ supports up to 10. Each variation counts as one backtest against your backtesting usage limits, so a 3-variation batch consumes 3 backtests.

Question 35

What is the Trading Simulator used for?

Accepted Answer

The Trading Simulator replays historical data so you can watch your strategy execute over time, test execution realism (latency/slippage/market impact), and stress test with scenario injection. See: /docs/trading-simulator/overview.

Question 36

What is scenario injection?

Accepted Answer

Scenario injection lets you test edge cases like flash crashes, volatility spikes, or liquidity droughts to see how your strategy behaves under stress. See: /docs/trading-simulator/overview.

Question 37

What markets are supported in the simulator?

Accepted Answer

The simulator supports multiple market types (docs include crypto via Binance, US stocks and forex via TwelveData, and demo data for some markets). See: /docs/trading-simulator/overview.

Question 38

Can I control replay speed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The simulator supports configurable speed modes so you can run in real time or faster to complete tests sooner. See: /docs/trading-simulator/overview.

Question 39

Should I backtest before simulating?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The simulator guide recommends backtesting first so you validate the strategy logic before spending time on deeper execution testing. See: /docs/trading-simulator/overview.

Question 40

What is paper trading in FlyTradr?

Accepted Answer

Paper trading runs your strategy on live market data in real time using virtual capital. It’s the final validation step before going live. See: /docs/paper-trader/overview.

Question 41

Do paper trading sessions keep running if I close my browser?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Paper Trader guide notes sessions can run in the background, so you can return later to monitor performance. See: /docs/paper-trader/overview.

Question 42

What is the warmup period?

Accepted Answer

Before trading starts, FlyTradr loads enough historical candles to initialize your indicators. Warmup depends on the indicators used (for example, SMA(200) needs 200 candles). See: /docs/paper-trader/overview.

Question 43

Can I place manual orders during paper trading?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Paper Trader tool supports placing manual orders during a session. See: /docs/paper-trader/overview.

Question 44

How long can a paper trading session run?

Accepted Answer

Paper trading has tier-based duration limits (the docs mention 7–90 days depending on subscription tier). See: /docs/paper-trader/overview.

Question 45

What is Live Trading on FlyTradr?

Accepted Answer

Live Trading lets you run your algorithmic strategy against real market data through your connected broker. FlyTradr sends signals and manages orders on your behalf based on your strategy rules. You remain in control at all times and can stop or pause sessions from the platform.

Question 46

Which markets support live trading?

Accepted Answer

Live trading is available for most supported markets including Indian equities, US equities, forex, and crypto. Market availability may vary by broker integration. Check the Live Trading setup page for the latest list of supported brokers and markets.

Question 47

Which plan do I need to access live trading?

Accepted Answer

Live trading is available on the Practitioner plan and above. The Practitioner plan supports up to 3 concurrent live sessions on a single symbol. The Operator plan supports full watchlist-based live trading with more concurrent sessions.

Question 48

Does FlyTradr hold or manage my money?

Accepted Answer

No. FlyTradr is a software platform only. We do not hold funds, act as a broker, or manage capital on your behalf. All trades are executed through your own brokerage account using your own funds. You are solely responsible for all trading decisions and outcomes.

Question 49

Is live trading suitable for beginners?

Accepted Answer

We strongly recommend completing the full workflow - build in Strategy Builder, validate with Backtesting Lab, experience in Trading Simulator, then test risk-free in Paper Trader - before enabling live trading. Live trading involves real capital and real risk.

Question 50

What happens if my internet connection drops during a live session?

Accepted Answer

Your live session will not stop. FlyTradr runs sessions server-side, so a browser disconnect or internet outage on your end has no effect on the session. If our servers experience any disruption, our automatic recovery system attempts to restore the session and resume normal operation. As an additional layer of protection, Guardian STOP is always active during live sessions — it monitors your open positions and will trigger a protective stop if signals are not restored and price moves unfavourably. Your capital is guarded even in exceptional circumstances.

Question 51

What is Guardian STOP and when does it trigger?

Accepted Answer

Guardian STOP is a capital protection feature that runs automatically in the background during every live trading session. It acts as a safety net for situations where the strategy signal is interrupted — such as a server disruption, connectivity issue, or unexpected system event — and the position cannot be managed normally. If such an event occurs and price moves unfavourably beyond a defined threshold, Guardian STOP will trigger and close the position to limit losses. It operates independently of your strategy logic and cannot be overridden during a disruption, ensuring your capital is protected even when something goes wrong outside your control.

Question 52

Is there a free plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. FlyTradr offers an Explorer tier that is free forever with no credit card required. It includes Strategy Builder, Backtesting Lab, Trading Simulator, and Paper Trader with generous free limits. See: /pricing.

Question 53

Do you offer annual billing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Annual billing is available and offers a discount compared to monthly billing. You can select your preferred billing cycle on the pricing or checkout page.

Question 54

Can I upgrade or downgrade my plan?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can upgrade at any time and the change takes effect immediately (you will be charged a pro-rata amount for the remainder of the billing period). Downgrades take effect at the start of the next billing cycle.

Question 55

How do I cancel my subscription?

Accepted Answer

You can cancel anytime from your account settings. Your access to paid features will continue until the end of the current billing period - you will not be charged again after that. Cancellations do not delete your account or data.

Question 56

Can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Refunds are considered for service unavailability, duplicate charges, or unauthorised transactions - provided the request is raised within 15 days of the charge date. Refunds are not issued for change of mind or forgotten cancellations. Approved refunds are processed within 6-8 business days. See our full Refund Policy at /refund-policy.

Question 57

What happens to my strategies and data if I cancel?

Accepted Answer

Your account and all data (strategies, backtests, simulation history) are retained after cancellation. If your account remains inactive for 90 days, data enters a soft-delete grace period before permanent deletion. You can reactivate or export your data at any time before then.

Question 58

Where can I see current pricing and plan details?

Accepted Answer

Visit /pricing for the latest plan details, feature comparisons, and what is included in each tier.

Question 59

How do batch backtest limits differ between Pro and Pro+?

Accepted Answer

Pro includes batch backtesting with up to 3 variations per run and higher daily/monthly backtesting limits for active testing. Pro+ increases batch size to 10 variations per run and removes the standard daily and monthly backtesting caps.
