Strategy Builder
The Builder workspace
How the Strategy Builder is laid out — chart, logic deck, signals, and AI assist — and what each region is for.
Updated 2026-06-28·Rev. 2026.06
The Strategy Builder is where you express and inspect a strategy. It has four working regions; everything you do lives in one of them. Click a region below to jump to its part of this guide.
Chart
The left lane is a live candlestick chart for your selected pair and timeframe. It loads candles by count (not a fixed time window), shows trade markers when you backtest, and can overlay indicators and drawings. The chart is for seeing — it never computes your strategy logic.
Logic deck
The right lane is the logic deck — your strategy as a vertical stack of nodes, connected top to bottom along a spine. Each node is one step: read data, compute an indicator, test a condition, take an action, or apply a risk rule. The deck is the source of truth for what your strategy does.
Nodes, not code
You never write code here. Each node is a typed, inspectable unit with a fixed contract — which is what makes a strategy reproducible and shareable.
Signals & bottom panel
The bottom panel is where results surface: the signals timeline, backtest output (equity curve + metrics), and simulation playback. Run a quick backtest and read the outcome here without leaving the Builder.
AI assist
An AI copilot helps you author and refine the graph — suggesting nodes, explaining what a configuration does, and reviewing a strategy. It accelerates your judgment; it doesn't replace it.
How they fit together
You add and wire nodes in the deck, watch context on the chart, run and read results in the bottom panel, and lean on AI assist when you're stuck. Master those four and you can build anything Spera supports.
