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.

Order Flow Trading Explained for Retail Traders

Order flow refers to the stream of buy and sell orders moving through a market. Order flow tools, including footprint charts, delta, and volume profile, show how participants are engaging at specific price levels. They do not predict direction. They provide context: where activity was heavy, where it was absent, and whether buyers or sellers were more aggressive at particular prices. This context can inform how traders interpret support and resistance, breakout setups, and trend continuation. Agenticks's Terminal and Indicator Library include structured market context tools that help traders organize this information into a repeatable research process.

Order flow explained as market participation context: what it shows, how to read it, and how to combine it with price structure without overfitting the interpretation.

Key points

Order flow shows market participation, not guaranteed direction.
Footprint charts display the volume traded at each price within a candle and the imbalance between buyers and sellers.
Delta measures the difference between buying volume and selling volume over a period.
Volume profile shows where the most trading activity occurred over a session or time range.
Order flow context works best when combined with price structure and higher-timeframe analysis.
No order flow tool eliminates the uncertainty of future price movement.

Frequently asked questions

What is order flow trading?

Order flow trading uses data about buy and sell order activity, including volume, delta, and footprint charts, to understand where market participants were active, rather than relying only on candlestick patterns.

Is order flow trading for beginners?

Order flow tools have a learning curve. Traders typically benefit from understanding price structure and basic market mechanics first, then layer in order flow context as their framework matures.

Does order flow predict price direction?

No. Order flow tools provide context about past participation. They do not guarantee future price movement. Trading always involves risk, including possible loss of capital.
