FINETIQ IDEAS

An open library of trading ideas with pseudocode for TradingView, EasyLanguage and MetaTrader 5.

What this is

We study public interviews and videos of traders and turn their ideas into rules you can test. Every card shows what the author said, what we added, and where results can diverge on each platform.

How to use it

Pick an idea, port the pseudocode to your platform and test it on your own data. No idea here is a finished strategy: “untested” means we have only written the rules down.
