Strategy

A strategy is a market-specific trading program. It turns market data into signals and orders while applying position, cost, and risk rules. Qube keeps the strategy identity separate from the code snapshot used in a run:

​

Strategy lifecycle

1. Define the market, instruments, signal, position rules, and risk limits.
2. Create or update the strategy in chat or in the Strategy Library.
3. Review the generated code and backtest parameters.
4. Save a version, then run a backtest against that version.
5. Compare results, revise the strategy, and repeat with a new version.
6. Optionally optimize parameters after you review the strategy.

​

Choose a workflow

• Create a strategy: Start from a trading idea or an existing code sample.
• Strategy code: Learn the runtime lifecycle and market-specific data rules.
• Run a backtest: Configure and run a historical simulation.
• Versions and reproducibility: Compare, label, and revert code snapshots.
• Parameter optimization: Search a defined parameter space and review the best result.
• Turn a factor into a strategy: Convert a validated factor into a selectable strategy after confirmation.
