How the strategy blocks work
Signal and filter blocks
Signal and filter blocks
Indicators define when a market is eligible and when an entry triggers.
Examples include EMA separation, RSI regime limits, MACD confirmation, and
a chop guard that rejects flat conditions.
Risk and exit blocks
Risk and exit blocks
Each strategy defines its initial stop and any take-profit, trailing stop,
reversal, or maximum-hold exit. These are strategy controls, not guarantees
against gaps, slippage, liquidation, or API failure.
Sizing and leverage
Sizing and leverage
Allocation is USD margin per trade. Notional is allocation multiplied by
leverage, so both fee dollars and market exposure scale with leverage.
Execution cost
Execution cost
The current built-in backtests model 10bps per fill: 5bps Hizz plus a
5bps base-tier Strike taker estimate. Live accounting replaces that estimate
with the actual Strike fee and the Hizz builder fee attached to each fill.
Reading a backtest
The strategy detail page reports return, trade count, win rate, maximum drawdown, Sharpe ratio, and the historical equity curve. Use them together:- Return without drawdown can hide an unacceptable path to the result
- Win rate says nothing about the size of wins versus losses
- Trade count matters because a tiny sample is easy to over-interpret
- Sharpe summarizes historical risk-adjusted consistency, not future safety
- Fee assumptions must be close to the fills you expect in live mode
Backtests are recalculated from the current strategy definition and market
series. They are historical simulations, not a promise that the same fills,
slippage, liquidity, funding, or return will occur live.
