Module 02 · Workflow

A safer route from simulation into real supervision

The point is not to remove all uncertainty. The point is to make each increase in exposure deliberate.

Step 01
Start in paper or challenge mode

Use the same workflow and monitoring habits before live capital is on the line. This validates the operator process as much as the strategy.

Step 02
Check live assumptions against the terminal

Confirm session behavior, symbol availability, bot state, and capital controls in the exact environment the strategy will run in.

Step 03
Promote only one variable at a time

Do not change strategy logic, capital sizing, and broker environment all at once. You want attribution when something breaks.

Step 04
Operate with explicit kill conditions

Write down what performance drift, technical failure, or market condition will force a pause. Then respect it when the moment arrives.

Try it — slippage & fills

A market order takes whatever price is available. The larger and more urgent the order relative to liquidity, the further your average fill drifts from the quote.

Do not promote directly from a promising backtest into full-size live flow.
