Allocation Setup
Add an "Allocation" block after your indicator
Configure allocation:
Allocation Percentage: 100% for long position
Allocation Percentage: -100% for short position
Option to switch to "Incrementation" for advanced management
3. Connecting Blocks
Blocks must be connected sequentially:
Start → M.A Crossovers → Allocation
A second M.A Crossovers for the opposite direction
A new allocation for exit
Important Points
Use appropriate connectors between blocks
Verify that each block is properly connected
Ensure the last block connects to the start to form a loop
4. Adding Additional Indicators
Using Group Blocks
To combine multiple indicators:
Select the "Group" block
Choose combination type:
AND: All indicators must be validated
OR: At least one indicator must be validated
XOR: Only one indicator must be validated
RSI Configuration

Time Unit: 15 minutes
Default levels: 30/70
Signal type: Position/Crossover depending on your strategy
5. Finalizing the Strategy
Exit Management
Add "Target" blocks to define:
Take Profit: +5%
Stop Loss: -2%
Connect Target blocks to a 0% Allocation block for exit
Saving and Testing
Click "SAVE" to save your strategy
Use "RUN BACKTEST" to test your strategy
"IMPORT STRATEGY" allows importing existing strategies
Usage Tips
Best Practices
Start with simple strategies
Test each configuration before moving to the next
Document your parameters with "Mark flag"
Use the "Chart Helper" to visualize your indicators
Points of Attention
Always verify complete block connection
Test your strategy across different periods
Adjust parameters gradually
Monitor backtest performance before live trading
Conclusion
