We move a tested system to a demo account, then to small live size, then to full size, with monitoring and automatic stops at every stage.
Each stage has to agree with the one before it before money is scaled up.
Backtest
About 5 years of data, costs included
Demo account
4–8 weeks or 30–50 trades, no real money
Small live size
25–50% of the intended size
Full size
Only while results keep matching
At every stage, automatic stops halt trading if losses or errors pass the limits you set. If results drift from the backtest, we go back a step.
Forward-testing in real market conditions without risking real capital, before going live.
Production-grade connections to the broker or exchange your strategy will actually trade on.
Live visibility into system health and strategy behavior, with alerts when something looks wrong.
Hard stops that halt trading automatically if losses, errors, or anomalies exceed defined limits.
Scaling allocated capital up in stages as live performance confirms backtested expectations.
A clear plan for what happens, and who's notified, when something goes wrong in production.
These are the numbers we track, and the limits that stop trading automatically.

Example valuesIf any bar reaches its limit, trading stops automatically and you're alerted. Nothing restarts until a person checks it.
Because live trading adds things a backtest can't fully show: real slippage, outages and your own reactions. A demo and a small live stage reveal those cheaply.
An automatic stop that halts trading if losses, errors or unusual behaviour pass limits you set, so a problem can't run unchecked.
Some difference is normal. If the gap is large, we pause scaling, find the cause (costs, execution or the strategy itself) and fix it before moving on.
