Quick Start

From a fresh strategy to live code, in nine steps.

For a strategy you have never run through the app before:

  1. Settings — set Working Folder and anything else, select strategy, fill input ranges and click Save Settings.
  2. Strategy Code — paste raw EasyLanguage, generate optimized code, compile in the TradeStation IDE.
  3. Optimization → Feasibility — quick sanity check (seconds, not hours).
  4. Optimization → Optimization — full parameter sweep, then Generate Trades.
  5. Trades Generator — wait for all rows to show Complete.
  6. WFO Config → Select Symbol/Interval → pick a green cell → Add to WFO.
  7. Optimization → Validation — runs the real walk-forward: IS optimization per segment, then OOS runs.
  8. Validation → Select WFO Run → review equity comparison and metrics.
  9. Live Trading — generate production code, compile, apply to live chart.

Detour into Candidates at any point after trade files exist for a closer look at individual parameter sets — it has no gate and no forward/back button, so visit it whenever you like.

Use the >> button (bottom-right of most tabs) to step forward without clicking the tab bar. Use << to step back.
