Build Your Own Strategy

Vantixs supports multiple ways to create a strategy while keeping validation, backtesting, paper trading, and execution readiness in one hosted workflow.

Creation Paths

Visual Builder

Assemble market data, indicators, logic, risk, and execution nodes on the canvas. This is the primary no-code path.

Strategy Templates

Start from a pre-built pipeline, then adjust symbols, timeframes, parameters, filters, and sizing.

AI Strategy JSON

Use the downloadable schema reference with an AI assistant, then import generated pipeline JSON into Strategy Builder.

Validation Comes First

Every strategy should pass validation before it is treated as executable:

  • Node types must exist in the supported catalog or enabled beta custom-node surface.
  • Required ports must be connected.
  • Connected ports must use compatible data types.
  • Parameters must satisfy schema rules such as ranges, enum values, and required fields.
  • Execution nodes must include valid sizing and risk configuration.

Invalid strategies stay in draft/editing flow until the issues are fixed. Do not use imported JSON as a shortcut around strategy review.

Readiness Ladder

From idea to operation

1

Draft

Build visually, load a template, or import AI Strategy JSON.

2

Validate

Resolve schema, connection, and parameter errors before testing.

3

Backtest

Review historical performance, drawdown, fills, fees, slippage assumptions, and trade logs.

4

Paper trade

Run the strategy against live market data with simulated capital and operational monitoring.

5

Live readiness

Only consider real capital after risk limits, credentials, preflight, and monitoring are configured for the account and product status supports it.

Risk Reminder

Vantixs provides tooling for strategy design and validation. It does not guarantee profit, remove market risk, or convert historical performance into future performance. Templates, AI-generated strategies, and marketplace assets should all be treated as starting points that require independent review.
