Strategy guide

This strategy doesn't ship a dedicated guide yet — here's how to evaluate any strategy in this app.

What a strategy does

A strategy is a small, sandboxed WebAssembly module. On every candle it looks at the latest price and its own saved state, then decides to buy, sell, or hold. Its tunable knobs come from the strategy's published parameters.md form, which you'll see on the backtest and create-bot screens.

Backtest it first

The fastest way to understand a strategy is to replay it over real history:

1. Open the strategy's Backtest page.
2. Pick a data source — Binance (crypto, no key) or, once you've added a key in Settings, Twelve Data / Alpha Vantage for stocks, metals, forex and commodities.
3. Enter a symbol, a date range, and an interval.
4. Set the strategy's parameters (start with the defaults).
5. Run backtest and compare the result against buy-and-hold.

Nothing is saved — backtests are a what-if sandbox.

Reading the result

• Return vs Hold — did the strategy beat simply buying and holding?
• Trades — how often it acted; very frequent trading can be fragile.
• Lowest cash / Final qty — how much capital it tied up along the way.

Going live

When a backtest looks promising, use Create bot to deploy the strategy with the same parameters. New bots start paused so you can review before they trade. See the backtest guide for tips on choosing ranges and symbols.
