Definitions are practical and product-focused, not academic. If a term here still feels unclear, it usually becomes obvious once you run a backtest or iterate on a strategy. *** ## Core concepts ### Strategy A **fully defined set of trading rules** that can be backtested and executed. In Trinigence, a strategy always includes: * a market and timeframe * entry logic * exit logic * risk behavior A strategy is never ambiguous or partially defined. *** ### Trading Idea A **human-readable description** of what you want to trade and how. Example: > “Trade ETH on 1h using MACD crossovers with fixed TP and SL.” Trading ideas are translated into strategies by ATI. *** ### ATI (Artificial Trading Intelligence) The AI system inside Trinigence that: * interprets natural language * structures strategy logic * fills missing details * validates consistency * suggests improvements ATI does **not** predict markets or make decisions for you. *** ### Backtest A historical simulation of a strategy on past market data. Backtests in Trinigence are: * deterministic * consistent across runs * based on available historical candles Backtests are used to **evaluate behavior**, not guarantee future performance. *** ## Strategy components ### Market / Symbol The instrument being traded (e.g. BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT). Availability depends on data coverage and environment. *** ### Timeframe The candle interval used for strategy logic (e.g. 15m, 1h, 4h, 1D). All indicators and conditions are evaluated on the selected timeframe unless explicitly stated otherwise. *** ### Direction The trade side a strategy can take: * **Long** – profit from price increases * **Short** – profit from price decreases A single strategy can include one or both directions. *** ### Entry The condition(s) that must be true for a trade to open. Entries are typically indicator-based, rule-based, or a combination of both. *** ### Exit The condition(s) that close an open trade. Exits can be: * fixed (TP / SL) * logic-based * time-based * or a combination *** ### Risk Management Rules that define how much risk a strategy takes. This commonly includes: * take profit * stop loss * position sizing * exposure limits *** ### Take Profit (TP) A predefined rule that closes a trade once a profit target is reached. Usually expressed as a percentage in early strategy versions. *** ### Stop Loss (SL) A predefined rule that closes a trade to limit losses. Always required for a deterministic strategy. *** ## Indicators & logic ### Indicator A calculated value derived from price and/or volume data. Trinigence supports a broad TA-Lib indicator set plus custom indicators. *** ### Indicator Parameters The numeric values that define indicator behavior\ (e.g. RSI(14), MACD(12,26,9)). *** ### Condition A logical statement that evaluates to **true** or **false**. Examples: * RSI(14) \< 30 * EMA(10) crosses above EMA(20) * Supertrend changes to buy *** ### Cross / Crossover A condition where one value moves above or below another value. Used frequently in trend and momentum strategies. *** ### Trend Change A condition where an indicator signals a directional regime shift\ (e.g. trend turning bullish or bearish). *** ## Backtesting & metrics ### Trade A single instance of an opened and closed position generated by a strategy. *** ### Equity Curve A visual representation of how account value changes over time during a backtest. *** ### Drawdown The decline from a peak to a trough in the equity curve. Used to assess risk and capital stress. *** ### Win Rate The percentage of trades that close in profit. Win rate alone does not determine strategy quality. *** ### Average Win / Average Loss The mean profit or loss per winning or losing trade. These values are often more important than win rate. *** ### Exposure The percentage of time a strategy has an open position. High exposure means the strategy is almost always in the market. *** ## Platform behavior ### Defaults Reasonable assumptions applied by ATI when information is missing\ (e.g. default exits, standard indicator parameters). Defaults are always surfaced and can be changed. *** ### Clarification A follow-up question asked by ATI when an idea is ambiguous or incomplete. Clarifications ensure the resulting strategy is deterministic. *** ### Iteration The process of modifying a strategy and re-running the backtest. Iteration is the primary way strategies improve inside Trinigence. *** ## What to read next Understand the full strategy creation flow. Apply these concepts in a hands-on example.
