Built-in Strategies

Pre-configured trading strategies that run on Execute. No TradingView account needed — signals come from the platform.

Built-in strategies generate entry signals automatically on Execute's infrastructure. Each strategy routes signals through the execution engine and hands the trade to Trade Manager (TM) for automated exit management.

You do not need a TradingView account for built-in strategies. Signals originate from the platform's own instance — charts, alerts, and webhook routing are handled for you. Bring your broker account and sizing configuration. Our platform handles the rest.

ℹ️

SST and CST are the same strategy running on different instrument classes. SST targets equity futures. CST targets commodity futures. If a signal resolves to a commodity instrument, it routes to CST automatically. Think of them as one strategy with exchange-aware routing.

Similarly, GSS auto-routes commodity trades to its commodity variant (GSC) internally. You configure gss_size and gss_risk — the system handles exchange detection.

How to enable a strategy

  1. Open your Google Sheet configuration
  2. Add the sizing columns for the strategy on each account row where you want it to run
  3. Set {strategy}_size and optionally {strategy}_risk

Example — enable SST and GSS on an IBKR account:

account_id | broker | sst_size | sst_risk | gss_size | gss_risk
U1234567   | ibkr   | 20       | 500      | 10        | 300

That account now receives SST entries at $20 risk (capped at $500 of position size) and GSS entries at $10 risk (capped at $300 of position size). Accounts without the sizing columns for a given strategy are skipped when that strategy fires.

Strategy details

SST — Equity Futures

The core equity futures strategy. SST receives signals across a broad universe of equity futures instruments. Each signal includes entry price, direction (LONG or SHORT), and a Stop Loss (SL) level.

  • Sizing: sst_size, sst_risk
  • Risk-based sizing available: Yes. The risk engine calculates lot count so a full SL hit equals your configured risk amount.
  • Exit management: Automatic.

CST — Commodity Futures

Same signal logic as SST, targeting commodity futures (CME and other commodity exchanges). When an SST-class signal resolves to a commodity exchange, it routes to CST automatically.

  • Sizing: cst_size, cst_risk
  • Risk-based sizing available: Yes
  • Exit management: Automatic

You do not need to configure both SST and CST for the same account unless you want different sizing for equities versus commodities. If you only set sst_size, equity signals execute. Commodity signals on that account are skipped unless cst_size is also present.

GSS — Gap based Setup

Gap specialist. GSS selectively identifies gaps which have a lower probability of filling forming at points where trends are about to change.

  • Sizing: gss_size, gss_risk
  • Risk-based sizing available: Yes
  • Exit management: Automatic

STOB — Stock Breakout

Trend-based breakout strategy on Index Options. It detects gamma moves before they happen and keeps rotating across far OTM puts and calls.

  • Sizing: stob_size , stob_risk
  • Risk-based sizing available: Yes
  • Exit management: Automatic.

RSI5 — RSI 5min

RSI-based entries on equity and commodity futures. RSI5 generates signals on shorter timeframes, targeting buy on dips setups in trending instruments.

  • Sizing: rsi5_size, rsi5_risk
  • Risk-based sizing available: Yes
  • Exit management: Automatic.

ICS — Inverse Calendar Spread

Multi-leg options strategy. ICS builds a reverse calendar spread when a specific signal triggers on Index prices, placing two option legs simultaneously through a dedicated execution endpoint.

  • Sizing: ics_size (fixed capital deployed)
  • Risk-based sizing available: No. ICS uses fixed capital sizing.
  • Exit management: Automatic.

Exit management profiles

All built-in strategies use TM for exit management after entry. The exit behavior depends on strategy configuration — each strategy has its own trailing timeframes, R-trail settings, and candle color filters.

The specific trailing timeframes and R-trail milestones vary by strategy and are configured in the platform's strategy rules.

See Trade Manager for the full exit state machine, CbC trail, and R-trail mechanics.
