Custom strategy development

From market idea to a launch-ready strategy package.

A trading hypothesis becomes a structured package: visual logic, tested assumptions, position sizing, risk limits, and a launch checklist. The output is made for review before implementation, not for vague discussion.

Input Raw market idea

A trader brings a hypothesis, screenshots, rules, or a half-built setup.

Process Structured review

The idea is converted into rules, branches, sizing logic, tests, and blocked states.

Output Launch package

The result can be reviewed by a client, developer, runner, or risk owner.

Scene 01 01 · visual logic

The whole strategy becomes a map.

Branches, entries, exits, filters, sizing notes, and fallback paths are placed on one canvas. The point is simple: the client sees how the strategy thinks before anyone talks about execution.

What this solves No more strategy hidden in a chat thread, screenshot, or half-remembered rule. Every decision path becomes visible.
Branches Entries Exits Risk notes
Visible nowEvery branch has a place.
Review value

A client can point to a block and ask why that exact decision exists.

Map resolves
Visual strategy map with filters, strategists, entries, exits, and annotated rules Scenario branches Sizing notes Exit stack One readable rule tree instead of scattered notes.
Scene 02 02 · evidence

Backtest evidence replaces storytelling.

The tested result is packaged with metrics, equity curve, trade table, and drawdown context. Instead of a screenshot claim, the client receives a readable test surface.

What this proves Performance is shown together with assumptions, trade count, drawdown, and the actual trade table so the result can be challenged.

Anti-bullshit layer

The result is easier to audit because the equity curve and trade table sit together.

Scene 03 03 · position logic

Position size is tied to context.

Conviction scoring shows how volume, volatility, touches, higher-timeframe alignment, and market context change sizing. It makes the strategy less like a black box and more like an inspectable operating rule.

What this controls Weak setups can be reduced, strong setups can be sized higher, and blocked states can be written down before launch.
Score bands Feature weights Guardrails
Decision ruleScore changes size.
Risk control

Weak context is reduced before it becomes a live execution problem.

Sizing logic
Conviction sizing documentation with formulas, score bands, and sizing multipliers Score → size Context features Sizing becomes a rule, not a feeling.
Scene 04 04 · handoff

The strategy ends as a specification.

Base parameters, tickers, timeframe, exits, cooldown, fee assumptions, slippage, and launch constraints are written down. This is the handoff layer: the strategy can be discussed, rebuilt, tested, or implemented without losing the original logic.

What gets delivered A structured package with rules, backtest, risk assumptions, and checklist so the next person knows exactly what is being reviewed.
Parameters Cooldown Fees Launch checks

Next step

The package can go to build, paper trading, or another round of research.

Client output

A serious strategy package, not a loose idea.

Every delivery is designed to answer the questions that usually kill launch quality: what exactly is the rule, what was tested, how much risk is allowed, and what blocks activation?

01Rules

Entry, exit, filters, invalidation, and manual review conditions.

02Backtest

Metrics, equity curve, trades, and assumptions in one surface.

03Risk

Exposure limits, sizing logic, drawdown context, and blocked states.

04Launch

Checklist for what must be checked before any live discussion.
