Detailed Feature Explanations
Live Trading
Execute real trades on your connected exchange accounts. Requires API keys with trading permissions.
Note: Live trading involves real money. Always test your strategies with paper trading first.
Paper Trading
Practice trading with virtual funds ($10,000 USDT). Perfect for:
- Testing new strategies
- Learning the platform
- Validating webhook setups
- Risk-free experimentation
Backtesting
Test your strategies against historical market data to evaluate performance before going live. Two modes available: Quick Test (7-day instant from AI Builder) and Full Backtest (configurable date range, saved results). See Backtesting Overview for details.
AI Strategy Builder
Describe your trading strategy in plain English and the AI generates TradeStaq code. Higher tiers unlock image uploads, candle data analysis, and more monthly prompts. See AI Strategy Builder for details.
Copy Trading
Following Masters: Subscribe to expert traders and automatically copy their positions to your account.
Becoming a Master: Share your trading signals with followers and earn revenue. Requires Trader tier or higher.
