It reads itself back
The compiler writes out what the script does in plain English.

A real example.
This is a real run of the importer. The result compiles. It read 5 lines: 4 carried over exactly, 1 were adapted, and 0 came back as choices for you.

import pandas_ta as ta2

df["fast"] = ta.ema(df["close"], length=20)4
df["slow"] = ta.ema(df["close"], length=50)5
df["rsi"] = ta.rsi(df["close"], length=14)6
df["long"] = (df["fast"] > df["slow"]) & (df["rsi"] < 70)1

fast = ema(close, 20)5
slow = ema(close, 50)6
rsi_value = rsi(close, 14)7
long = fast > slow and rsi_value < 70| Status | Your line | What happened |
|---|---|---|
| Exact | df["fast"] = ta.ema(df["close"], length=20) | a calculation carried over |
| Exact | df["slow"] = ta.ema(df["close"], length=50) | a calculation carried over |
| Adapted | df["rsi"] = ta.rsi(df["close"], length=14) | rsi is the name of a built-in here, so it became rsi_value |
| Exact | df["rsi"] = ta.rsi(df["close"], length=14) | a calculation carried over |
| Exact | df["long"] = (df["fast"] > df["slow"]) & (df["rsi"] < 70) | a calculation carried over |
How the ideas translate.
| In Python | In AlgoBarsX |
|---|---|
df["fast"] = ta.ema(df["close"], length=20) | fast = ema(close, 20) |
ta.rsi(df["close"], length=14) | rsi(close, 14) |
(a > b) & (c < 70) | a > b and c < 70 |
a column named rsi | renamed to rsi_value, so it does not hide the function |
df["close"].shift(1) | close[1] |
df["high"].rolling(20).max() | highest(high, 20). Rolling calculations come back as a decision, so you pick the function. |
A data-frame script has no orders in it, so it comes back as an indicator. Add when rules to turn it into a strategy.
How to move a script.
Paste or upload
Open the Terminal, choose Import, and paste your code or pick the file.
Read every note
Each line is marked exact, adapted, or your call. Settle every “your call” before you go on.
Read it back, then test
Check the plain-English description against what your old script did. Then run a test.
What you gain.
Units are real
Percent, pips, R and money are types. Mix-ups are caught before anything runs.
One script everywhere
The same file draws, tests, alerts and trades.
Always read an import before you run it. No converter is perfect, and some shapes of code import better than others. Other platforms leave things unsaid that AlgoBarsX makes you state, such as the market, the bar size and the trade size. Compare the plain-English description with what your old script did, and test before you deploy.
Good questions.
Will every script convert cleanly?
No. Simple, common shapes convert best. An import that does not compile says so, and every changed line carries a note. Always read the result.
Do I lose my original?
No. Your old script is untouched. Lines that needed a choice keep the original as a comment.
Is it free?
AlgoBars is $0 a month with no card. Credits pay for AI, tests and auto trades.
Try it with one script.
Pick a small one. Paste it in. Read what comes back.
