How do I build a strategy?
A strategy is a chain of blocks that decides when to enter and exit a trade. You connect data, an indicator, a condition, and a signal. The example above shows the smallest version of a working strategy.
-
Pick your market data
Drop a Market Data block onto the canvas and choose a symbol (for example BTCUSDT) and a timeframe (for example 4h). This is the price feed that everything else reads from.
-
Add an indicator
Connect the data block to an indicator like SMA (Simple Moving Average). Indicators turn raw price into a number you can reason about — here, the average price over the last 20 bars.
-
Define a condition
A Threshold block compares the indicator to a value. In the example it fires whenever the SMA is greater than 0. You can also compare two indicators, look for crossovers, or chain conditions with AND / OR.
-
Wire up a buy signal
Connect the condition into a Buy Signal block. Whenever the condition becomes true, the strategy opens a long position. A separate Sell Signal block can close it on a different condition.
-
Add risk management
Optional, but strongly recommended: chain a Stop Loss and Take Profit into the signal so every trade has a defined exit. Even a simple 2 percent stop protects you from runaway losses.
-
Save and backtest
Click Save, then Test. The backtest engine replays your strategy against years of historical data and shows the equity curve, win rate, drawdown, and every trade.
