From research to execution
Freqtrade and AlgoRover compared

What mattersAlgoRoverFreqtrade
Best suited toUse an AI agent to find strategies, request changes, compare multiple symbols in batches and analyze results. Start with cloud presets and move to local Research or Live for custom work.Develop Python strategies with an open-source bot and its optimization tools, while managing the runtime.
Starting materialOur library shows rules, parameters and existing backtests. Cloud Research offers published strategies, markets and presets; local editions support further changes.Documentation and a strategy repository provide examples; Docker and other installation methods are supported.
Research workflowDescribe changes in plain language, let AI help edit local Research/Live strategies, then backtest. Compare metrics, trades and reports alongside the settings.Historical backtesting, Hyperopt parameter optimization and FreqAI machine-learning research.
Testing and executionAsk AI to help deploy strategies for demo or live trading on your computer or Linux VPS, check orders, positions and strategy status, and guide you through stopping a strategy. Local execution requires an awake, online computer. On a VPS, active strategies can continue after your personal computer shuts down.Dry-run and live trading, managed through Telegram or a web UI; you maintain the device.
CostsResearch and Live currently charge no product subscription fee. AI services, VPS hosting and exchange fees are paid separately. Local execution needs an awake, connected computer.Free and open source; hosting, exchange and external service fees are separate.

Coral Trend Pullback ADX

Uses Coral trend pullbacks confirmed by ADX and DI with swing brackets.

How the strategy works

The strategy first establishes Coral trend color, then waits for a valid pullback and re-breakout while ADX rises above its midline and DI ordering confirms the side. Entry uses a recent swing extreme as the stop and an R-multiple target; a complete opposite setup may reverse the position.

05 / Execution and control

Deploy strategies with AICheck orders and positions through conversation

Run Live on your own computer or Linux VPS; both support exchange demo and live trading. Tell AI which setup you want. It helps check the environment, install and configure Live, then waits for your approval to start. Local execution requires your computer to stay awake and online. With VPS deployment, active strategies can continue on the server after your personal computer shuts down. Use AI to review orders and positions or stop a strategy.

Live has no product subscription fee. Choose your computer or your own VPS and maintain the device and network. VPS hosting fees are separate.
