Deep Dive: Unleashing the Full Potential of the Visual Strategy Builder

If your trading strategy relies on a simple Moving Average crossover, you're leaving money on the table. Real market edges require complex, multi-layered logic.

The TradingDojo Visual Builder is not a toy. It's a Turing-complete trading engine that lets you build institutional-grade complexity without writing a single line of code.

Multi-Timeframe Logic: Aligning the Stars ✨

The secret to higher conviction trades is alignment. You only want to take a short-term trade if the long-term trend supports it. This is where Multi-Timeframe (MTF) logic is non-negotiable.

You can easily use indicator nodes set to different timeframes in the same strategy:

• Long-Term Filter: Check the Daily chart to ensure Price is above the EMA 200.
• Short-Term Signal: Check the 5-minute chart for an RSI < 30 (dip buy).
• Execution: Connect them with an AND logic block.

Now, your bot only takes high-probability dip buys when the major trend is favorable.

Advanced Risk Management: The Exit Strategy

Entry is 10% of success; exit is everything. Our specialized trade management nodes give you control far beyond fixed targets.

• Breakeven Node: Automatically shift your Stop Loss to the entry price (breakeven) after the price moves X ticks in your favor, securing the trade.
• Trailing Stop: Utilize specific nodes for dynamic trailing stops, such as those based on ATR (Average True Range) or a simple percentage move.
• Time-Based Exit: Eliminate slow, agonizing trades by forcing the closure of any position that hasn't hit its Take Profit within a specified time limit (e.g., 2 hours).

Creating Custom Signals and Arbitrage 📊

Need an indicator that doesn't exist? You can build it using Math Nodes and combining data sources.

• Example: Pair Trading. You want to trade when the ratio between Crude Oil (CL) and Heating Oil (HO) exceeds a certain level.
• Math Node: Input CL Price and HO Price. Select "Divide" (or "Subtract").
• Condition: If the Math Node result is greater than X, trigger the trade.

This visual method allows you to instantly build relative strength, pair trading, and custom indices—strategies previously locked behind complex programming languages.

The Power of "AND" / "OR" Groups

Real-world strategies rarely have just one entry condition. They often have multiple, independent ways to enter the market.

• Logic Groups: You can build multiple trees of logic.
  • Tree A: Entry based on Trend Pullback (e.g., Price hits EMA 20).
  • Tree B: Entry based on Breakout Confirmation (e.g., Price closes above resistance and Volume is high).
• The OR Block: Connect Tree A and Tree B to a main OR block leading to the "Buy" action.

This gives your bot versatility to trade different market regimes while keeping all conditions strictly defined. If you can imagine the logic, you can build it.
