What is Alpha Trader?

Alpha Trader is a platform for traders who want to code their own trading strategies and test them against historical market data. You write your strategy in Pine Script (the language used on TradingView), backtest it to see how it would have performed in the past, and then deploy it to live trading on supported exchanges. The tool connects strategy development and execution, removing the need to manually switch between different platforms. It's designed for traders with some technical knowledge who want to automate their approach without building everything from scratch.
