What you’ll do on this page

In the next few minutes, you will:
  • write a simple trading idea
  • turn it into a complete strategy
  • run a backtest
  • understand the results
No setup. No coding. Just logic.
This guide assumes you already understand basic trading concepts such as indicators, entries, exits, and risk management.

​
Step 1: Write a simple trading idea

Start with a clear and simple idea.
Don’t try to be clever on your first run. Example input: 
Create an ETH/USDT strategy on the 1h timeframe.
Go long when MACD crosses above the signal line.
Use a take profit of 8% and a stop loss of 1%.
That’s enough to create a valid strategy. You don’t need to define everything perfectly - Trinigence is built to understand natural language and infer missing details.
If you can explain your idea to another trader, you can explain it to Trinigence.

​
Step 2: ATI structures the strategy

Once you submit your idea, ATI (Artificial Trading Intelligence) automatically extracts and formalizes:
  • market and timeframe
  • trade direction (long and/or short)
  • indicators and their parameters
  • entry logic
  • exit rules
  • risk behavior
ATI will either apply reasonable defaults or ask for clarification before proceeding. A strategy is never backtested with undefined behavior.
Yes. A single strategy can include one or both directions, each with its own logic and exits.

How ATI understands your input

Learn how natural language is translated into structured strategy logic.

​
Step 3: Run the backtest

Once the strategy is fully defined, Trinigence automatically runs a backtest. You’ll immediately see:
  • performance metrics
  • trade history
  • equity curve
  • drawdown and exposure statistics
Backtesting is performed using consistent historical data and standardized evaluation logic.

How backtesting works

Learn what is included in a Trinigence backtest.

​
Step 4: Read the results (quickly)

On your first strategy, focus on behavior rather than profit. Pay attention to:
  • number of trades
  • win rate versus average win and loss
  • maximum drawdown
  • equity curve shape
A profitable backtest does not guarantee future results. A losing backtest does not mean the idea is useless.

How to read backtest results

Learn how to interpret backtest metrics correctly.

​
Step 5: Iterate once

Make a single, small change and rerun the backtest. Examples:
  • adjust the stop loss
  • refine the entry condition
  • add a simple time filter
  • change the timeframe
This feedback loop is the core of Trinigence.

​
Common beginner mistakes

Complexity hides problems. Start simple and iterate gradually.
Always consider risk, drawdown, and trade distribution.
ATI helps structure your logic, but clarity always improves results.

If your first strategy didn’t perform well - that’s normal. The goal is learning faster, not finding a perfect strategy.
