Main Roadmap

The MCP server in build 144 is genuinely useful, but <code>get_strategy_stats</code> only returns SQX's built-in statistics. Custom databank columns created via Custom Analysis snippets aren't available, and stats can only be fetched one strategy at a time. Both limits make it impractical to use the MCP connection for real portfolio work.1. Return custom databank columns (highest value)Many users add custom scoring columns via Custom Analysis — robustness scores, retention metrics, composite rankings. These are often the columns we actually select strategies on, but they're invisible over MCP, so any AI-assisted analysis has to fall back to manual CSV exports.Ideally <code>get_strategy_stats</code> would return whatever columns the databank's currently selected view displays, so custom and built-in columns come through identically and the view acts as the column filter.2. Add a bulk endpointFetching stats one strategy at a time doesn't scale — a databank of 250 strategies means 250 round trips, and calls time out on larger projects. A single call such as <code>get_databank_stats(project, databank)</code> returning all rows at once (or paginated) would make analysis across a full databank practical.3. Optional: expose the export functionAn MCP equivalent of "Export databank contents" — returning the databank as CSV — would achieve points 1 and 2 in one step and require little new logic, since the export already exists in the UI.Why this mattersThe current workflow for AI-assisted analysis is: manually export each databank to CSV, sync the files somewhere the assistant can read them, repeat every time anything changes. With the above, the MCP connection would replace that entirely. Given build 144 positions SQX as an AI-integrated platform, closing this gap makes the integration genuinely usable rather than a demonstration.<div data-type="horizontalRule"><hr></div>

MCP integration — expose all databank columns (including custom ones) and add a bulk stats call

I realize that whenever SQX codes (with multi timeframe) pasted in MultiCharts or Tradestation, it instantly underperform badly.SQX uses look-forward data for higher timeframes when [0] is used.eg. Close[0], HighD[0]. This is highly disturbing and wasting resources especially GA to continue optimizing codes in that direction.I try to look into “What to Build“ &gt; “# of Conditions, Period“ &gt; “Global Lookback period Shift” There is no “Minimum“ for Shift.This look-forward bias generation problem could just be solved if SQX allows Higher timeframe data to specify its shift to Minimum = 1.This is a high ROI, low effort step SQX could do in next Build.Thanks.

The most convenient way I have found to update the statistics of multi-symbol portfolios is to go to Custom Projects and use the Auto Retest task.However, in the Custom Data tab, there is no option to define an In-Sample and Out-of-Sample period, as you can in Builder, Retester, and Portfolio Master.This prevents us from working with IS/OOS filters, while updating multi-symbol portfolios directly from Retester is far too cumbersome.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6821a16be5aee5768ec98036/post/6aa987d52e7d02a5cb5fe5ad/01a0a63a-8e5d-7ed6-a3d4-7d558c42d27b/b64u-dW5uYW1lZC5wbmc.png" data-featurebase-content-filename="unnamed.png" src="https://6821a16be5aee5768ec98036.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6aa987d52e7d02a5cb5fe5ad/01a0a63a-8e5d-7ed6-a3d4-7d558c42d27b/b64u-dW5uYW1lZC5wbmc.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260924T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260924%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=0db3d702bf351e7bc0509c40cb0367a9c4ae3e6f14d8f20cea0fe4d77b9ceebf">Please consider adding this functionality.

FEATURE - SQX - IS/OOS from Auto retest

In custom projects, it would be good to have a project management feature, currently the order of projects is always set in alphabetic/numeric order, it would be good to be able to set the order. By default, to be in order of newly added projects, and drag and drop to be able to manually move a project before or after another project

Bars Valid not working, and no code generated on that

in the custom projects tab, where all the projects are listed. Would it be possible to move the bar that indicates the project is running? Maybe a small icon next to the name. Currently it is not very confortable to track which projects are running as we need to go all the way to the right, then follow the line all the way to the left to read the project name. I believe this bar could be replaced by a simple rotating wheel at the left of the project name.

I have a big problem since i am using custom block, when i run Monte carlo Random parameters. Why don't you allow us to randomize our range for period? That would be so much easier, because i don't want to use Global period settings from builder. And i don't want to go in the builder and set a custom range like it can be done when using INTs It's huge waste of time, and i encounter some problem also (in the previous mail i sent you) For example here SR_length always go back to default settings. The reason is that when i run MC random parameters, I realized that it is much better to choose period than INT like here Because if i choose INT, ok i can randomize myself straight away, but the problem is that the parameter will be categorized as OTHER and not PERIOD Problem is that in others there are many parameters that i don't want to randomize in the MC test That's why it should be categorized as period. So you should let us randomize the periods in the custom block section : min, max, step.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6821a16be5aee5768ec98036/post/6a833c00c1b2c565f74ef792/01a010a0-e60a-741f-9bae-6ac7f2b50bc9/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png" data-featurebase-content-filename="image.png" src="https://6821a16be5aee5768ec98036.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6a833c00c1b2c565f74ef792/01a010a0-e60a-741f-9bae-6ac7f2b50bc9/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260924T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260924%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=7f3b1645fc8e56608fa0960dfd6ab3d3b7532c58fa61002015c2e5fe88395ce8"><img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6821a16be5aee5768ec98036/post/6a833c00c1b2c565f74ef792/01a010a1-2d4f-757c-a16e-93ea640aadbf/b64u-aW1hZ2UgKDIpLnBuZw.png" data-featurebase-content-filename="image (2).png" src="https://6821a16be5aee5768ec98036.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6a833c00c1b2c565f74ef792/01a010a1-2d4f-757c-a16e-93ea640aadbf/b64u-aW1hZ2UgKDIpLnBuZw.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260924T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260924%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=f6599cd5d898e57155c1c92c3b826ec9b56cc774d7a4c2cc76549eb07806c5ba"><img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6821a16be5aee5768ec98036/post/6a833c00c1b2c565f74ef792/01a010a1-195a-7599-9d84-e851fd23a3d9/b64u-aW1hZ2UgKDEpLnBuZw.png" data-featurebase-content-filename="image (1).png" src="https://6821a16be5aee5768ec98036.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6a833c00c1b2c565f74ef792/01a010a1-195a-7599-9d84-e851fd23a3d9/b64u-aW1hZ2UgKDEpLnBuZw.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260924T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260924%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=67deaa51b3d370f145f2f5be4325cb03e51294d0a4047ed342707d5e7bcb855b">

Hello! It would be a great upgrade to add a grid martingale option available in builder mode, it will be much more siplier for us to add it from the option that tha algo wizard has.

Grid Martingale option in Builder Mode

Hi,It’s not that I’ve been missing it for years, but it would be necessary, since SPP and walk-forward testing requires good input variables to succeed.The strategy generator alone creates countless strategies, but I can then predict how many of them are profitable—or conversely, unprofitable—and determine the percentage in order to assess the ratio. This filter works together with stability and both together gives better results.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="6821a16be5aee5768ec98036/post/6a7b0256b5bd2fef2dcf79ce/019ff079-c4c7-7368-9634-8f67bd144b77/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png" src="https://6821a16be5aee5768ec98036.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6a7b0256b5bd2fef2dcf79ce/019ff079-c4c7-7368-9634-8f67bd144b77/b64u-aW1hZ2UucG5n.png?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260924T150000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260924%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=e8a95aafbdb53364675730c40fe6e4a5d4602104dc4f4d5a7fbecda07a8d4aba" data-featurebase-content-filename="image.png">

<h2 style="text-align: start">1) Confirmation/Setup of the Existing MCP Interface</h2><ul><li>Confirm MCP server status: Does the MCP server run automatically and continuously alongside the SQX instance, or does it need to be separately activated/kept running (even when the GUI is minimized/in the background)?</li><li>Clarify port reservation: The MCP server shares its port with "Remote Access" (default 8080, or the first available port). Can a fixed, dedicated port be configured so external clients don't need to search for the current port after every restart?</li><li>Authentication/security: Not mentioned in the current documentation — is there (or is it planned) any access control for the MCP server (token/password), or is it open by default to any local process on <code>localhost</code>?</li><li>Concurrent access: SQX currently only allows one running instance at a time (confirmed via CLI test: <code>sqcli.exe</code> refuses to start if the GUI is already open). For automation purposes, it would be relevant to know: can an MCP client work against the same running instance while the user is simultaneously active in the GUI — or do the two block each other?</li></ul><h2 style="text-align: start">2) Missing Functionality in the Current MCP Toolset (as of "first release")</h2>Currently available: <code>list_projects</code>, <code>list_strategies</code>, <code>list_databanks</code>, <code>get_strategy_stats</code>, <code>run_project</code>, <code>stop_project</code>. For our use case (automated snippet creation + trade evaluation), the following are missing:<ul><li>Snippet management via MCP: A tool to create/update Java snippets (currently only possible via direct filesystem access to the <code>extend/Snippets/SQ/...</code> folder + manual restart to trigger recompilation — no MCP tool exists for this)</li><li>Detailed trade export via MCP: <code>get_strategy_stats</code> only returns aggregated metrics (Fitness, Net Profit, Number of Trades, Sharpe Ratio, Drawdown) — no individual trades. An MCP equivalent to the existing CLI commands <code>-tools action=orderstocsv</code> and <code>-databank action=export</code> would be needed to retrieve full trade lists programmatically</li><li>Snippet reload without restart: Currently, a restart of the SQX instance appears necessary for new/changed Java snippets to be detected and recompiled (hash comparison on boot). An MCP tool for targeted reloading/recompiling of individual snippets without a full restart would be significantly more practical for automated workflows</li><li>Robustness tests via MCP: Not currently mentioned in the toolset — Monte Carlo, System Parameter Permutation, and Walk-Forward runs can indirectly be triggered via the existing CLI through <code>-project</code> tasks, but a dedicated MCP tool with a structured return value (instead of plain log text) would be desirable</li></ul><h2 style="text-align: start">3) Open Question Regarding the Roadmap</h2><ul><li>Is there a timeline for when the functionality listed above (snippet management, detailed trade export) will be added to the official MCP toolset</li></ul>
