Quickstart

HorizonAI is an AI platform that helps traders turn ideas into working scripts for TradingView (Pine Script) and MetaTrader 5 (MQL5) — no installs, no setup.

1) Start your free trial

• Click here to create your account.
• Every plan starts with a 7‑day free trial — no credit card required. When the trial ends, pick a plan (Starter, Pro, or Elite) to keep going.

2) Create your first script and describe your idea

• Click New Script in the sidebar to open the "What do you want to build?" page.
• Choose your target platform with the toggle: Pine Script (TradingView), MQL5 (MetaTrader 5), or NinjaScript (NinjaTrader).
• Describe what you want in natural language, then click Start building →. Your chat opens with the code on the right.
• Already have a script? Expand "Have existing code? Paste it here to edit" and drop it in.
• Examples:
  • "Create an EMA crossover strategy with a take profit and stop loss."
  • "Build a Bollinger Bands reversal strategy."
• Ask follow‑ups like "add a stop loss 1.5R" or "explain the entry logic".

3) Review and iterate

• The AI will generate and update the code. Read the comments and adjust with simple prompts.
• If something doesn’t compile or look right, just say: "fix the compile error" or "use close instead of hl2".

4) Use your code

• Pine Script: click Copy Code, paste into TradingView's Pine Editor, and add to chart. See detailed guide →
• MT5: click Download to save the .mq5 file (or Copy Code) and open it in MetaEditor. See MT5 setup guide →
• NinjaScript: click Copy Code and paste it into the NinjaScript Editor in NinjaTrader 8, then compile. See NinjaTrader guide →
