Key Concepts

Strategies

A strategy defines your trading logic — which instrument to trade, entry/exit conditions, leg configuration, and risk parameters. Strategies can run in three environments: backtest, paper (forward test), and live.

Legs

Each strategy can have multiple legs. A leg represents a single position — for example, a "Sell CE ATM" leg in a short straddle. Each leg has its own side, option type, strike selection, lot size, and stop-loss/target.

Signals

Signals are external triggers that initiate trades. They can come from TradingView alerts, Chartink scanners, or custom webhooks. Signals are validated against your risk rules before execution.

Credits

Backtest credits are consumed when you run backtests. Each plan includes a monthly credit allocation. Credits reset at the start of each billing cycle.
