Strategy Builder

Build custom trading strategies visually. Combine indicators, define entry and exit conditions, add filters and risk management — then backtest instantly.

How It Works

The Strategy Builder uses an atom-based architecture. Each condition in your strategy is an "atom" — a building block that evaluates to true or false. You combine atoms to create entry rules, exit rules, and filters.

Entry Atoms

Conditions that trigger a trade entry. Example: "RSI crosses below 30" or "MACD histogram turns positive."

Exit Atoms

Conditions that close a position. Example: "RSI crosses above 70" or "Price hits take-profit level."

Filter Atoms

Conditions that must be true for entries to fire. Example: "ADX above 20" (only trade in trending markets).

Position Sizing

Risk management rules. Fixed percentage, ATR-based, or Kelly criterion sizing.

Available Indicators

Indicator	Type	Parameters
RSI	Oscillator	Period (default: 14)
MACD	Momentum	Fast, Slow, Signal (12, 26, 9)
Bollinger Bands	Volatility	Period, StdDev (20, 2.0)
EMA / SMA	Trend	Period
ADX	Trend Strength	Period (default: 14)
ATR	Volatility	Period (default: 14)
Stochastic	Oscillator	K, D, Smooth (14, 3, 3)
CCI	Oscillator	Period (default: 20)
Williams %R	Oscillator	Period (default: 14)
OBV	Volume	None
VWAP	Volume-Weighted	Period
Ichimoku	Multi-Component	Tenkan, Kijun, Senkou (9, 26, 52)

Condition Types

Each atom uses a condition to compare indicator values:

Crosses Above / Below — Trigger on crossover events (e.g., RSI crosses above 30)
Greater Than / Less Than — Static threshold comparison
Between — Value within a range (e.g., RSI between 40 and 60)
Crosses MA — Price or indicator crosses a moving average
Rising / Falling — Slope direction over N bars

Risk Management

Every strategy should include risk controls:

Stop Loss — Fixed percentage or ATR-based trailing stop
Take Profit — Target percentage or risk-reward ratio
Max Open Trades — Limit concurrent positions
Position Sizing — Fixed amount, percentage of equity, or Kelly criterion
Cooldown — Minimum bars between entries to prevent overtrading

Best Practice: Start simple. A single entry indicator + a stop loss + a take profit is often more profitable than a complex strategy with 5+ atoms. Add complexity only when backtesting shows it improves results on out-of-sample data.

TOML Strategy Files

Under the hood, every strategy is stored as a TOML file. Advanced users can write strategies directly in TOML for maximum control. The format is documented in the API docs.
