Build a strategy you can see and refine.
Start with a chart idea or a method you already trade. Work through the indicators, conditions, branches, and exits with Cook, then backtest the strategy and choose the version to monitor.
Make your method visible.
A strategy is a set of connected rules. Each condition, branch, and exit stays visible and editable.
- Indicators and conditions
- Connect your indicators to the conditions that define a setup. Change a threshold or add a filter as your method develops.
- Sequence and branches
- Define what happens first, what confirms the setup, and what follows when a condition passes or fails.
- Invalidation and exits
- Define when a setup stops being valid and how the strategy exits a position in a backtest.
Refine it. Test it. Put it to work.
Keep your strategy under your control as it evolves.
- Edit and backtest
- Change a rule, run the updated strategy against historical data and compare the results.
- Choose your monitoring version
- The same approved rule definition drives historical testing and monitoring. Cook evaluates those rules consistently; you choose when to update them.
