Getting started with StratCraft.
Create your account, confirm the workspace, and prepare your first strategy run.
01 Before you begin
StratCraft is built around a simple loop: describe a strategy, inspect the generated rules, run a backtest, then decide what deserves more work. Everything in the product serves one of those four steps.
You do not need to connect broker credentials for the first pass. Keep the first session focused on learning the workspace and validating one small idea.
Three things to do before you build anything
- 1Create or sign in to your StratCraft account.
- 2Open the main workspace from the app dashboard.
- 3Confirm that your preferred language and theme are correct.
02 First useful workflow
Start with one liquid symbol and one clear timeframe. A narrow test is easier to inspect than a broad search with many hidden assumptions.
- 1Choose a familiar market and timeframe — something you already have intuition for.
- 2Generate a basic entry rule and a separate exit rule.
- 3Run the backtest, then inspect trades before trusting summary metrics.
Summary metrics can hide a handful of lucky trades. Open the trade list first — once the individual fills look reasonable, the aggregate Sharpe and drawdown mean something.
