Run

This is where your algorithm moves from testing to the real market. Run lets you choose an algorithm, select a funded run wallet, set live execution limits, complete approvals, and monitor the run while it trades.

For a hands-on first live run, see the Run Walkthrough →

Note

Start small, monitor closely, and only scale up once live performance matches your test results.

Going Live

Before You Run Live

Make sure you’ve done these before switching to live:

• Backtested on at least 6 months of data
• Checked that your Sharpe ratio is above 1.0 and max drawdown is acceptable
• Ideally run rolling cross-validation to confirm the strategy generalizes
• Chosen a conservative live capital amount
• Created and funded a dedicated run wallet

Start from Run Mode

Switch to Run mode using the header mode selector. Select an algorithm, select a funded wallet, configure your live settings, and click Start Run.

The launcher will guide you through any required wallet or builder fee approvals before the run starts.

---

Run Wallets

Run uses dedicated wallets so live algorithms are separated from regular trading.

Before starting a run:

• Choose or create a run wallet
• Fund the wallet
• Make sure the wallet is not already being used by another active run
• Complete any required approvals in the launcher

Caution

Never share your wallet, seed phrase, passwords, or private keys with anyone. Reversion will not DM you asking for private information.

Launch Settings

Setting	Description
Algorithm	Saved algorithm and version to run live
Run Wallet	Funded wallet used by this live run
Symbol	Market the algorithm trades
Capital	Live capital limit for the run
Leverage	Leverage used by the strategy
Trades Limit	Maximum number of trades before the run stops
Assume Position Now	Starts as if the strategy is already in a position
Close Position on Exit	Allows the run to close positions when exit logic fires
Session Calendar Policy	Pause behavior around configured session windows
Reset / Follow-Up Chain	Controls cooldown and follow-up behavior after resets

Note

Quick Run from Build saves and compiles your algorithm, then opens Run with that algorithm selected. You still choose the wallet and live risk settings before starting.

Monitoring

The First 24 Hours

Pay close attention during the first day of a live run. Here’s what to watch:

• Fill prices — are entries and exits landing close to where the test expected them? Some slippage is normal, but consistent deviation may mean your order type or timeframe needs adjusting.
• Trade frequency — is the algorithm trading as often as the test predicted? If it’s much more or less active, market conditions may have shifted.
• Drawdown — if your live drawdown exceeds your test’s max drawdown early, consider pausing to investigate.

Note

Compare your first few live trades against what the test showed for the same period. If the fills, timing, and P&L are in the same ballpark, you’re on track.

Run Mode Dashboard

Run mode gives you dedicated monitoring panels:

• Run Wallets — create, fund, and select wallets for live runs
• Run Configuration — select the algorithm, wallet, market, capital, leverage, limits, and session behavior
• Run Info — active runs, run history, positions, orders, trades, details, and config
• Run Metrics — summary, chart, equity curve, and performance details

Via Agent Tools

Use the MCP agent tools for programmatic monitoring:

Tool	What It Shows
list_runs	All runs with status, filtered by algoId or status
get_backtest_results	Metrics for a completed run
get_account_overview	Account snapshot including active positions and running algos

---

Run States

State	What It Means
NEW	Run created, initializing
RUNNING	Actively executing — watching the market and placing trades
STOPPING	Stop requested, winding down gracefully
STOPPED	You (or the system) paused the algorithm. Open positions remain unless you close them
DONE	Run completed normally
FAILED	Run encountered an error
CANCELLED	The run was aborted before completion

You’ll typically see RUNNING after the run starts. If something looks off, you can stop it at any time.

---

Stopping and Restarting

Stop a Run

Click Stop from Run mode or ask the agent:

"Stop my running algorithm"

The run moves to STOPPING while it winds down, then settles into a stopped state.

Caution

Open positions are not automatically closed when you stop an algorithm. Close them manually from Trade mode or via agent tools (close_position). Always check your positions after stopping a run.

Iterate and Run Again

1. Stop the current run
2. Switch to Build mode and edit the algorithm (creates a new version)
3. Switch to Test mode and backtest the new version to validate changes
4. Switch to Run mode and start the updated version

Note

Each edit creates a new version, so you can always compare performance across versions. You can even run multiple versions simultaneously to A/B test changes.

Tuning a Live Strategy

Signs Your Strategy Needs Tuning

• Live Sharpe is significantly below test Sharpe — the strategy may be overfit to historical data
• Drawdowns are larger than expected — risk parameters may need tightening
• Trade frequency has dropped off — the market regime may have shifted away from your strategy’s edge
• Most exits are stop losses — entry timing or stop placement may need work

What to Adjust

Based on live performance, go back and tweak:

• Thresholds — if signals trigger too frequently or rarely
• Indicators — swap underperforming indicators (check usefulness scores from tests)
• Position sizing — reduce if drawdowns are too large
• Stop loss — tighten or loosen; experiment with trailing stops

Retesting

If the market regime shifts, test and validate the strategy again on recent data:

1. Run a backtest on recent data to see current performance
2. Adjust the algorithm in Build if metrics have degraded
3. Validate with rolling cross-validation in Test
4. Start a small live run with the updated version

See Test → Optimize for the validation workflow.
