Do I need to know how to code to use Agenticks?

No. AlgoAgent accepts prompts and converts them directly into backtestable strategies. AlgoAgent does the same for TradingView indicators. No coding, no Pine Script, no programming background required.

AlgoAgent is the product. You describe a trading idea and it turns that into explicit entry, exit, sizing and risk rules, writes the strategy as sandboxed Python, runs it over the included market history, and hands back every trade so you can judge the idea yourself.

How long can I run a backtest?

As far back as the instrument's own history goes. US stocks and ETFs run from as early as 2000-01-01 through 2026-03-31 and supported futures from 2016, at 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h and 1d. There is no five-year cap. Results include an equity curve, a full trade log, drawdown analysis, regime breakdown, Monte Carlo resampled from the real trades, and a prop firm pass estimate.

What is the AlgoAgent live automation lane?

On the Agent plan an approved strategy places its own orders through the brokerage you connected with SnapTrade (Interactive Brokers, Alpaca, Wealthsimple, Webull, Moomoo, Coinbase, Kraken, Binance and more). It runs on Agenticks servers, not in your browser, so it keeps running when your computer is off. You approve the strategy, pick the account, set sizing and risk limits, and arm it explicitly. Editing it creates a new version that needs a new approval. Several supported brokers are read-only. Paper-test first.
