Introduction to EdgeKeeper

Welcome to the future of algorithmic trading. EdgeKeeper empowers you to build, backtest, and deploy sophisticated trading strategies using a powerful visual node editor—no coding required.

What is EdgeKeeper?

EdgeKeeper is a visual development environment (IDE) specifically designed for algorithmic trading. It abstracts away the complexity of coding, API connections, and data management, allowing you to focus purely on your **trading logic**.

Why Visual?

Trading strategies are essentially flowcharts of logic. By visualizing them as nodes and connections, you can spot errors faster, understand complex relationships instantly, and iterate on your ideas without getting bogged down in syntax errors.

Key Features

01Visual Editor

Drag and drop nodes to create logic. Connect Price inputs to Indicators, then to Logic gates, and finally to Execution triggers.

02Instant Backtesting

Run your strategy against years of historical data in seconds. See detailed metrics like Sharpe Ratio, Max Drawdown, and Win Rate.

03Secure Execution

Deploy to the cloud with one click. Your API keys are encrypted, and execution happens on our reliable, low-latency servers.

04Node Registry

Access hundreds of pre-built nodes for popular indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands) and logic patterns.

How It Works

1. The Visual Strategy Editor

The core of EdgeKeeper is the canvas. Here, you place **Nodes** and connect them with **Edges**.

  • Data Nodes: Fetch candle data (e.g., BTC/USD 1h).
  • Indicator Nodes: Transform data (e.g., SMA 20).
  • Logic Nodes: Make decisions (e.g., "If Price > SMA").
  • Execution Nodes: Place orders (e.g., "Buy Market").

2. Backtesting & Analytics

Once your logic is built, hit the "Backtest" button. Our engine simulates your strategy tick-by-tick over historical data.

You'll get a comprehensive report showing exactly how your strategy would have performed, allowing you to optimize parameters before risking real capital.
