Auto Strategy Builder Review
A research tool rather than a trading system. It brute-forces indicator rule combinations and hands you the survivors as NinjaTrader bots, which suits a trader who wants to do their own testing and has the time to validate the output. That is a different purchase from a system that arrives configured and ready to run — and at $149/mo it is three times the price of one.

- Not stated
What works
- Searches a very large number of indicator rule combinations quickly — the vendor states up to 40,000 — which would take a long time by hand.
- Exports results directly as NinjaTrader bots, so there is no separate coding step.
- Covers whatever NinjaTrader 8 charts: futures including ES, NQ, MES, MNQ, CL and GC, plus forex, equities and crypto on supported feeds.
- 7-day free trial with no card required, so you can see the output before paying.
- A lifetime licence is available for traders who expect to use it for more than a year.
What to know before you buy
- It generates strategies rather than supplying them. You still have to judge which of the candidates is worth trading, and that is the hard part.
- NinjaTrader 8 only. The vendor states there is no TradingView, MT4 or Sierra Chart version planned.
- At $149/mo it is the most expensive option listed here, and that is before any platform plan you choose to add.
- The published results are a vendor case study rather than an independently audited record, as of 13 Aug 2026.
