What Is the Strategy Builder?
The Strategy Builder lets you create custom trading strategies using visual blocks instead of code. Pick indicators, set parameters with sliders, define entry conditions, and see buy/sell signals appear on a live chart — all without writing a single line of code.
Think of it as building a recipe: choose your ingredients (indicators), set the rules (conditions), and the system tells you when all the conditions align.
Starting with Templates
Five pre-built templates get you started instantly:
- •Golden Cross: SMA 50 crosses above SMA 200 — classic trend reversal signal.
- •RSI Oversold Bounce: RSI drops below 30 then bounces back — momentum recovery.
- •MACD Signal Cross: MACD line crosses above signal line — momentum shift.
- •Bollinger Squeeze Breakout: Price breaks above the upper band — volatility expansion.
- •Volume Breakout: Price crosses SMA on 2x average volume — confirmed move.
Building Conditions
Conditions are the rules that trigger signals. Each condition has three parts: a left value (like RSI), an operator (greater than, crosses above), and a right value (a number or another indicator).
Combine conditions with AND (all must be true) or OR (any can be true). For example: "RSI < 30 AND MACD crosses above Signal" means both must happen on the same bar.
Backtesting Your Strategy
Below the chart preview, the Backtest Results panel shows how your strategy would have performed historically. Key metrics include win rate, Sharpe ratio, max drawdown, and total return.
Adjust the initial capital, position size, stop loss, and take profit to see how risk management affects results. The equity curve shows your account value over time.
