Overview

What you'll see in Create Your First Strategy

Once your exchange is connected, the next step is giving auto-Trading something to execute: a strategy. This video walks through building one from scratch in the visual, drag-and-drop strategy builder, the same tool used by beginners and experienced traders alike.

You will see blocks being dragged from the side panel onto the canvas and wired together to define a flow of logic: a market-data input, a technical indicator such as RSI or a moving average, a condition block that checks when that indicator crosses a threshold, and an action block that opens or closes a position. The indicator library used in the video is pulled from more than 80 built-in options, covering trend, momentum, volatility, and volume indicators, so the same canvas works for almost any style of strategy.

How It Works

Behind the Scenes

Behind the canvas shown in the video, every block becomes a node in a directed acyclic graph, and every connection defines a data dependency. When the strategy runs, the engine evaluates that graph in order for each new market bar, so upstream indicator calculations always finish before the downstream conditions and actions that depend on them are evaluated. That is what makes it possible to paper-trade the exact strategy built in this video first, then flip it to live trading with the single click shown at the end.
