A free TradingView alternative for algo traders
TradingView can test a strategy but needs a third-party bridge to trade it. AlgoBars does the whole loop free: build in plain words, blocks or AlgoBarsX (ABX), backtest without limits, check with walk-forward and Monte Carlo, then run it live on 334 brokers on AlgoBars servers.
