Execution Nodes

The final step. Turn your logic signals into actual market orders.

Buy Node (Long)

Opens a Long position when triggered.

Input:

Trigger: A boolean signal (True/False). A trade executes on the exact candle where the signal flips from False to True.

Behavior:

Executes a Market Buy order.
Automatically attaches Stop Loss and Take Profit orders based on your Backtest Configuration.
If a position is already open, it will typically ignore new signals (unless pyramiding is enabled).

Sell Node (Short)

Opens a Short position when triggered.

Input:

Trigger: A boolean signal (True/False).

Behavior:

Executes a Market Sell order.
Attaches SL/TP orders similar to the Buy node.

Risk & Execution Engine

The backend engine uses VectorBT for high-performance backtesting and a custom strict risk engine for realistic simulation.

Position Sizing Models:

Fixed Percent: Allocates a fixed % of account equity per trade (e.g., 10% of capital). Used when no Stop Loss is set.
Risk-Based: Calculates position size based on risk amount (e.g., Risk 1% of equity). Requires a Stop Loss.
Size = (Equity * Risk%) / (Entry - SL)

Risk Management:

Stop Loss (SL): Can be Fixed % or ATR-based (Volatility adjusted).
Take Profit (TP): Fixed %, ATR-based, or Risk-Reward Ratio (e.g., 2.0R).
Max Daily Loss: Optional circuit breaker that halts trading for the day if a loss limit is reached.

Simulation Details

The engine simulates Market Impact (slippage based on position size) and commission fees. For precise SL/TP execution, it checks intraday price paths (High/Low) to determine if a stop was hit before the target, ensuring realistic results even on larger timeframes.

Performance Metrics

After every backtest, the engine calculates key performance indicators:

Metric	Description
Total Return	Net profit or loss as a percentage of initial capital.
Win Rate	Percentage of trades that ended in profit.
Max Drawdown	The largest peak-to-valley decline in account equity.
Sharpe Ratio	Risk-adjusted return (using 0% risk-free rate).
