Getting started
Sign up, pick a plan, learn the vocabulary. ~5 minutes.
1. Create an account
Hit Sign up. Email + a 10+ character password. No card, no KYC, no phone number. You land on the dashboard with one rule set already cloned from a bundled template so the screen isn't empty.
2. Pick a plan
Three plans exist. Free is forever — one saved rule set, backtests on 90 days of data, Alpaca paper trading. Pro (15 USDT / month) unlocks unlimited strategies, the walk-forward optimizer, the Telegram bot, and 100+ CCXT venues. Desk (49 USDT / month) adds scheduled re-optimization, multi-seat dashboards, and custom plugins.
3. Learn five words
The dashboard uses very specific terms — the same ones used through the rest of these docs.
Glossary
- rule set
- A YAML document describing entry and exit rules. Sometimes also called a strategy.
- strategy
- Loosely synonymous with rule set. A saved YAML file plus the metadata attached to it (symbol, timeframe, sizing).
- leaf
- A single boolean expression like `RSI(14) < 30`. The atomic unit of a rule.
- group
- A logical container that combines leaves with AND / OR / NOT. Groups can nest.
- backtest
- Run a strategy over historical bars to see how it would have performed. Read-only, no orders are placed.
- walk-forward
- Optimize parameters on a past window, evaluate on the next window, then roll forward. The honest version of optimization.
- paper trade
- Run a strategy live against real-time prices but with simulated fills. No money is risked.
- swing
- A confirmed local high or low in the price series — see the Swing indicator.
