Thinking about switching from StrategyQuant? You're not alone. Here's why traders are moving to HorizonAI — and how to make the switch painlessly.
StrategyQuant X costs around $1,990 for a lifetime license. HorizonAI has a free forever plan that covers most traders' needs. Even our Pro plan is a fraction of the cost.
StrategyQuant has a steep learning curve with dozens of settings. HorizonAI is simple — describe your strategy in plain English, get code. No weeks of setup required.
StrategyQuant focuses on MetaTrader export. HorizonAI generates both MQL5 AND Pine Script from the same description — perfect for traders who use both platforms.
StrategyQuant generates strategies you may not fully understand. HorizonAI's knowledge base and clean code help you learn MQL5 and Pine Script while you build.
StrategyQuant's auto-generated strategies can be opaque. HorizonAI produces clean, commented code you can read and modify with confidence.
Skip the complexity and cost. HorizonAI gives you direct code generation from plain English.
Create your HorizonAI account in seconds. No $1,990 investment required.
Instead of configuring genetic programming parameters, describe your strategy idea: "Build a Bollinger Band breakout EA with trailing stop."
HorizonAI generates well-structured MQL5 code immediately. No hours of computation, no millions of candidates to filter.
Want to test on TradingView too? Generate the Pine Script version from the same description — something StrategyQuant doesn't support.
“StrategyQuant was incredibly powerful but I spent more time learning the tool than actually trading. HorizonAI lets me describe my strategy and get code in seconds.”

From weeks of setup to instant code“I couldn't justify $2,000 for StrategyQuant as a beginner. HorizonAI's free plan taught me MQL5 while generating the code I needed. Best decision I made.”

Learning while generating for freeStrategyQuant uses genetic programming to auto-discover strategies from millions of candidates — it's complex, expensive, and requires setup. HorizonAI uses AI to generate the specific strategy you describe in plain English, for both MQL5 and Pine Script, with a free plan.
It depends on your needs. If you need automated strategy discovery with genetic optimization, StrategyQuant is specialized for that. If you want direct code generation from your own strategy ideas with dual-platform support at a much lower cost, HorizonAI is the better choice.
HorizonAI, without question. StrategyQuant has a steep learning curve that takes weeks to master. HorizonAI's plain English interface and knowledge base make it accessible from day one.
Yes! HorizonAI offers a free forever plan that lets you generate Pine Script and MQL5 code without paying anything. You can upgrade to Pro when you need more features like unlimited generations, priority support, and advanced features.
No. HorizonAI is a code generation tool — you don't connect exchange API keys. You simply describe your trading idea in plain English, and HorizonAI generates the Pine Script or MQL5 code for you. You can then paste that code into TradingView or MetaTrader 5.
HorizonAI helps you create better code faster, but trading results depend on your strategy, risk management, and market conditions. What HorizonAI guarantees is error-free, well-structured code that follows best practices — so you're starting with a solid foundation.
