Run

Run your algorithm live

When you’re confident in your strategy and it has passed testing, it’s time to run it live with a dedicated wallet and conservative limits.

  1. Verify Your Test Results

    Before going live, make sure your algorithm has:

    • Sharpe > 1.0 — risk-adjusted edge
    • Max drawdown < 20% — manageable risk
    • Consistent equity curve — not dependent on a few lucky trades
    • Cross-validation passing — performs consistently across different time windows

    If you haven’t run a backtest yet, go back to the Test Walkthrough.

  2. Switch to Run Mode

    Switch to Run mode using the header mode selector.

    Run is where you choose the live algorithm, wallet, market, capital, and execution limits.

  3. Select and Fund a Run Wallet

    Select a dedicated run wallet or create a new one. Fund it before starting the algorithm.

    The wallet must be funded and not already attached to another active run.

  4. Select Your Algorithm

    Choose the algorithm and version you want to run. If you came from Quick Run in Build, the algorithm is already selected.

    Make sure the version shown here is the version you just tested.

  5. Configure Live Settings

    Start small for your first live run. Even a well-tested strategy can behave differently with real slippage and latency.

    • Symbol — the market to trade
    • Capital — live capital limit for this run
    • Leverage — leverage used by the algorithm
    • Trades limit — maximum number of trades before the run stops
    • Session policy — whether to pause around configured session windows
    • Reset settings — cooldown and follow-up behavior after resets

  6. Complete Approvals

    If the launcher asks for wallet or builder fee approval, complete those steps before starting. Reversion will show the next required action in the Run configuration panel.

  7. Start and Monitor Your Live Run

    Run mode gives you dedicated monitoring panels:

    • Run Wallets — wallet balances and wallet selection
    • Run Configuration — selected algorithm, wallet, market, capital, and limits
    • Run Info — active runs, run history, positions, orders, trades, details, and config
    • Run Metrics — summary, chart, equity curve, and performance details

    The live engine evaluates conditions on every new candle, checks stop loss and take profit levels, and executes trades automatically.

  8. Stop or Iterate

    You can stop your algorithm at any time from Run mode.

    • The run moves to STOPPING while it winds down
    • Open positions are not automatically closed when you stop — close them manually if needed
    • To iterate: stop the run, switch to Build mode to edit, Test mode to validate, then back to Run mode to start the updated version
    • Use the Agent tools (update_run_status, list_runs) to manage runs programmatically
