Running Order of Conditions Cards & Operations Cards

Trigger symbols drive a strategy (the cards of the canvas) to run in cycles.

Taking the Martingale strategy as an example, the strategy runs once for every 1m candle during the market open of the HSI Future Main (HSImain.HK).

Then, in what order do the Conditions Cards & Operations Cards on the canvas run?

The strategy begins from "Start Card" and leads to 3 paths. The 3 paths run in an order from top to bottom and then from left to right (In the illustrative diagram, the running order of the 3 paths on the canvas is as follows: Path 1 > Path 2 > Path 3).

A path will not begin until the previous path runs to the end; that is to say, the paths run in series, instead of in parallel.

Losses can happen more quickly with quant and algorithmic trading compared to other forms of trading. Trading in financial markets carries inherent risks, making effective risk management a crucial aspect of quantitative trading systems. These risks encompass various factors that can disrupt the performance of such systems, including market volatility leading to losses.

Moreover, quants face additional risks such as capital allocation, technology, and broker-related uncertainties. It's important to note that automated investment strategies do not guarantee profits or protect against losses.

The responsiveness of the trading system or app may vary due to market conditions, system performance, and other factors. Account access, real-time data, and trade execution may be affected by factors such as market volatility.
