Algo Pilot's Rule Builder Gets a Makeover

TL;DR We've renovated the Rule Builder interface: a modern visual grid layout replaces old dropdowns, with new easy-to-add rule parts like "Time of Day," "Day of Week," and "Time Held." Early testers are creating rules significantly faster and with fewer errors.

Key Improvements in the New Rule Builder

Building automated strategies should feel intuitive. That's why we've overhauled the Rule Builder UI.

The new Rule Builder introduces a clean visual grid layout where rules appear as blocks you can easily select to edit. No more scrolling through big dropdown menus. This design change makes building custom rules feel natural and efficient.

We've also added dedicated, ready-to-use rule parts for some of the most common trading constraints, including Time of Day (to restrict trades to specific market hours), Day of Week (to favor or avoid certain days), and Time Held (to set minimum or maximum position durations). These join the existing staples like indicators, asset price thresholds, and return percentage targets.

Once users are building the chosen rule, an additional bonus is the new ability of selecting both the Equal To button and one of the Less Than or Greater Than buttons at the same time. No more making separate rule parts for a Less-Than-or-Equal-To rule.

The overall experience is faster and more intuitive. Users testing the update report creating complex rules more quickly than before, with far fewer misclicks. Available in both light and dark-mode interfaces to match your preferences, keeping the focus squarely on your strategy.
