Automation & Per-Cycle Costs

AlgoBars uses a token-based system. Automated trade automation costs $0.50 per trade (base automation fee) plus a $0.05 minimum complexity fee that scales based on strategy complexity, trade size, and volume. Strategy generation via the AI Assistant or Auto Builder also consumes credits. This is a fraction of what hiring a developer to code custom strategies would cost. Pennies per trade instead of thousands in development fees. Watch how-to videos →
Algo Tokens are consumed only when your deployed strategy fires a live trade signal or executes a lot of volume. Manual trades, paper trades, forward-test simulations, and backtests are all free. You are only billed when real capital is committed through automation. Watch how-to videos →
Each automated trade has two components: a $0.50 base automation fee plus a $0.05 minimum complexity fee that increases based on strategy complexity, trade size, and volume. A simple RSI crossover strategy costs less in complexity fees than a multi-indicator institutional strategy. Both components are deducted from your Algo Tokens balance, and all costs are visible in your dashboard before and after deployment. Watch how-to videos →
The Free plan is genuinely $0/forever with extensive features including charting, 1 live strategy, paper trading, Ghost Orders, copy trading, and community access. Algo Tokens cost $0.10 each and bill all paid actions: AI generation (1 token), AI audio (1 token), automated trade signals (5 tokens), lot volume (5 tokens), and metered backtest data. Pro ($97/mo) includes 1,000 monthly Algo Tokens. Tokens reset each cycle and overage is billed at your tier rate. Your broker may charge separate commissions or spreads. Watch how-to videos →
Your dashboard includes a real-time automation cost tracker showing per-cycle fees, daily/weekly/monthly totals, and cost-per-strategy breakdowns. You can set spending alerts and daily limits to stay in control of automation costs. Watch how-to videos →
Yes. AlgoBars lets you configure daily and monthly automation spending caps. When the limit is reached, your algorithms pause automation until the next period. You receive a notification before and when limits are hit, so no surprise charges. Watch how-to videos →
Pro ($97/mo) includes 1,000 monthly Algo Tokens. Need more? Higher tiers come with larger allocations: Elite ($297/mo) gets 3,000 tokens, and Scale ($997/mo) gets 10,000 tokens with 20% off all per-action rates. Tokens reset at the end of each billing cycle. Overage on any tier is billed at your tier rate without interrupting strategies. Your balance, usage breakdown, and full transaction history are visible at all times. Watch how-to videos →

Users are responsible for maintaining their own brokerage accounts and ensuring compliance with local financial regulations. AlgoBars does not hold, manage, or have access to user funds at any time.

*Performance metrics including return percentage, win rate, profit factor, max drawdown, and total trades are calculated from backtest data over the strategy's specified timeframe. Results may vary based on market conditions, broker execution speed, spread, and other factors. Equity curves represent historical backtest equity and are not indicative of live trading performance.
