Trend following
Enters in the direction of an established move and holds while it persists. Wins are infrequent but large; long flat periods are normal and expected.
Typically suits: Patient accounts, higher timeframes
Automated strategies
Algorithms you are allowed to inspect
Rule-based strategies with the logic written out, backtests that state their assumptions and risk caps you set yourself. They remove emotion from execution. They do not remove market risk.
Strategy families
Three approaches, three risk shapes
Every automated strategy belongs to one of these families. Knowing which one you are running tells you what a bad month is going to look like before you live through it.
Mean reversion
Fades stretched moves back toward an average. Wins often and by a little, which means one bad regime can undo a long run of small gains.
Typically suits: Range-bound majors
Breakout
Trades the release of a session or volatility compression. Sensitive to spread and slippage, so execution quality matters more here than anywhere else.
Typically suits: Indices and gold, session opens
How they run
Automation with guardrails
Logic is published
Entry rules, exit rules and the market conditions each strategy is built for are written out in the dashboard. If it cannot be explained, it is not listed.
Backtests state their assumptions
Every backtest names its period, the spread and commission modelled and the data source. Results without forward-tested live trading are labelled as such.
Runs off your machine
Strategies execute on low-latency servers, so a closed laptop or a dropped connection does not leave a position unmanaged.
Every event notified
Entries, exits, skipped orders and risk-limit events are pushed to you by email or notification as they happen.
Caps you define
Lot size, maximum open positions and a daily loss limit are set before a strategy is allowed to place its first order.
Kill switch
Disable any strategy instantly, with the option to flatten open positions in the same action.
What automation does not do
- Automation does not guarantee profit. Every strategy has losing days, months and quarters.
- A backtest is a simulation of the past under stated assumptions, not a forecast.
- Market regimes change. A strategy built for trends can bleed steadily in a range.
- Slippage, gaps and spread widening around news affect an algorithm exactly as they affect you.
- What it does do is execute a defined plan consistently, without hesitation, revenge trading or a missed session.
The strategy library, each strategy's published record and any applicable charges are in your dashboard once you are signed in.
