Strategy Builder

The visual canvas where you design trading pipelines by connecting nodes:

The main workspace for strategy design:

  • Drag and drop nodes from the library onto an infinite canvas
  • Connect nodes by drawing edges between output and input ports
  • Zoom, pan, and organize with grouping and alignment tools
  • Each strategy is a pipeline: Data Source -> Indicators -> Logic -> Risk -> Execution
  • Auto-mapping suggests connections based on compatible port types
