SQX AI in AlgoWiazrd

In the latest version of SQX, which includes the AI Wizard Module, a new button labeled “AI Wizard” is visible. This button allows us to operate the AI Module.

When we click on it, a new tab opens, inviting us to enter input and initiate communication with the AI.

In the default view, the AI presents 4 options:

• How does this AI assistant work?
  Provides a detailed overview of the AI assistant’s functionality and usage instructions.
• Help me create a new strategy
  Enables the creation of a new, custom strategy, which can be described via text or constructed with our simple wizard tool.
• Help me improve an existing strategy
  Offers options to further refine an already existing strategy, allowing you to specify which part you’d like to enhance.
• Clear chat – start everything over.
  This option deletes existing content and its history to start from scratch

When a user defines a strategy or allows the AI to generate one based on a description, it can be sent to AW and backtested directly in SQX via “Send to AW editor” button.

AI strategy was sent to AW for backtesting:

Format

Each strategy sent to AW follows a standard structure based on the generated Pseudo-Code.
For Single-Asset:

• #Signals
  Specifying Entry and/or Exit Conditions saved in variables
• #Long Entry
  Specifying Long Entry configurations
• #Short Entry
  Specifying Short Entry conditions
• #Long Exit
  Specifying the Exit for Long Orders
• #Short Exit
  Specifying the Exit for Short Orders

For Stock-Picker:

• #Long
  This section outlines the conditions and configuration for Long Entry
• #Short
  This section details the conditions and configuration for Short Entry
• #Position Score
  This score is used for ranking purposes. It limits the maximum number of stocks that can be traded and determines which stocks will be selected for trading. Stocks with valid entry signals are sorted by their score, and then the top N stocks are chosen based on this ranking.

Strategy Modes: StockPicker vs. Standard Engine

SQ AI supports both of StrategyQuant’s powerful strategy engines:

🔹 StockPicker Mode – Build strategies that trade groups of stocks like S&P 500, Nasdaq, Dow Jones, or your own custom ETF groupings. Great for thematic investing or broader exposure.

🔹 Standard Engine – Create strategies for single assets like forex pairs, futures, stocks, or ETFs. Ideal for traders targeting specific instruments.

Turn Text into Trading Power

What makes SQ AI so powerful is its simplicity.
