Strategy Assistant User Guide

If you already have your own trading ideas and want to build a more advanced, more customized quant trading strategy, Strategy Assistant is the tool designed for you.

Unlike Strategy Genie, Strategy Assistant offers much greater flexibility, letting you define your own entry and exit logic, technical indicators, and strategy conditions, with AI helping you build, backtest, and deploy the strategy.

What Is Strategy Assistant?

Strategy Assistant is MASQuant’s advanced strategy development tool.

It’s ideal for:

• Users with existing trading experience
• Traders familiar with technical analysis
• Anyone looking to optimize an existing strategy
• Anyone who wants to build their own custom trading system

With Strategy Assistant, you can quickly turn a trading idea into an executable quant strategy.

Strategy Assistant is designed for users who want to build a truly personalized trading system.

How Strategy Assistant Works

Step 1: Build Your Trading Logic

Enter your trading idea, for example:

• Moving average crossover strategy
• RSI overbought/oversold strategy
• Bollinger Band breakout strategy
• MACD trend strategy

Or simply describe your own trading rules directly.

Step 2: Choose Technical Indicators

Strategy Assistant supports a wide range of technical indicators, such as:

• Moving Average
• RSI
• MACD
• Bollinger Bands
• ATR
• Stochastic

You’re free to combine conditions however you like.

Step 3: Set Entry and Exit Conditions

For example:

Entry:

RSI below 30

AND

Price breaks above the moving average

Exit:

RSI above 70

OR

Stop-loss triggered

All of this can be configured through a visual interface.

Step 4: AI Analysis & Parameter Optimization

MASQuant AI analyzes:

• Instrument characteristics
• Volatility structure
• Market behavior
• Historical data

and identifies the parameter combinations that best fit.

The ideal RSI, MACD, and moving-average periods often differ from instrument to instrument, so you don’t have to rely on the default parameters forever.

Step 5: Strategy Backtesting

Once your strategy is complete, you can run a backtest.

The system generates:

• Return rate
• Win rate
• Maximum drawdown
• Sharpe Ratio
• Equity Curve

This helps you evaluate the quality of your strategy.

Step 6: Deploy to MT5

Once backtesting is complete, you can deploy directly to MT5.

The system automatically generates the executable file and completes strategy packaging for you.

No need to write any MQL5 code yourself.
