Edgoro vs asking a general AI chatbot

Short answer

Edgoro runs on a general-purpose model, Anthropic's Claude. What differs from asking a general chatbot is what surrounds the model: fixed instructions for each platform, an answer format with install steps, automatic checks of the code (Edgoro Pine Check for Pine Script, a compile in MetaEditor for MQL5, py_compile for Python) whose errors go back to the AI on their own, a library of versions, and, as options, a deterministic backtest engine and market-data tools. A general chatbot can also write working code; you then check and compile it yourself.

Side by side

Step	Edgoro	A general chatbot
Platform rules	Fixed instructions per builder: Pine Script v6, an MQL5 checklist, Python safety defaults	What your prompt asks for
Answer format	Summary, complete code, how it works, install steps, three refinement ideas	Free-form
Code check	Pine Check in the browser, MQL5 compiled in MetaEditor, Python `py_compile`	You compile or run it yourself
Errors	Sent back automatically, 2 times per conversation, then on request	You paste them back
Versions	Every answer saved in a library, with .pine and .mq5 downloads	The chat history
Backtesting	Backtest Lab option: deterministic engine, fees, slippage, out-of-sample check	Not built in
Live market data	Copilot option: prices, news, calendar, alerts	Depends on the chatbot

Questions

Does Edgoro use its own AI model?

No. It uses Anthropic's Claude through OpenRouter, a general-purpose model. The difference is in the instructions, checks and tools around it.

Is Edgoro's code always correct?

No. The checks catch whole classes of errors before you see the code, but they don't prove that a strategy does what you meant. See limitations and risks.

Can a general chatbot write Pine Script or MQL5?

Yes, often for simple scripts. Edgoro's instructions and checks target two frequent problems in AI-written code: older Pine Script syntax, and C++ constructs that MQL5 rejects. You can run any Pine Script, whoever wrote it, through the free Pine Script checker.

Are Backtest Lab's numbers written by the AI?

No. The AI translates the strategy into rules and writes advice afterwards; every number comes from a deterministic engine (how it works).

Trading involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for every investor. Edgoro is a software tool, not a broker or financial adviser: nothing it produces is investment advice, and past or backtested performance does not guarantee future results.
