Strategy Development Best Practices

Start with Data Exploration

Always check availability before building:

• Use get_data_availability to verify symbol has sufficient history
• Check get_allora_topics if planning ML enhancement
• Review get_all_technical_indicators to know what's available

Always Backtest

Never deploy without backtesting:

• Test on 6+ months of data minimum
• Use multiple time periods (train vs validation)
• Check metrics: Sharpe >1.0, max drawdown <20%, win rate 45-65%
• Compare performance across different market conditions

Cost Management

Tools are priced in tiers:

1. Data tools ($0.001 or free) - Use liberally
2. Backtesting ($0.001) - Use frequently
3. AI generation (LLM cost + margin) - Most expensive
4. Deployment ($0.50) - One-time per deployment

Cost-saving tips:

• Use generate_ideas ($0.05-0.50) before create_strategy ($1-4)
• Check get_latest_backtest_results (free) before running new backtest
• Use refine_strategy ($0.50-1.50) instead of regenerating with create_strategy
• Review get_strategy_code (free) before modifying

Strategy Naming Convention

Follow this pattern: {Name}_{RiskLevel}[_suffix]

Examples:

• RSIMeanReversion_M - Base strategy, medium risk
• MomentumBreakout_H_optimized - After optimization, high risk
• TrendFollower_L_allora - With Allora ML, low risk

Risk levels: H (high), M (medium), L (low)

Technical Details

Strategy Framework

Strategies use the Jesse trading framework with these required methods:

• should_long() - Check if conditions met for long entry
• should_short() - Check if conditions met for short entry
• go_long() - Execute long entry with position sizing
• go_short() - Execute short entry with position sizing

Optional methods:

• on_open_position(order) - Set stop loss, take profit after entry
• update_position() - Trailing stops, position management
• should_cancel_entry() - Cancel unfilled orders

Available Indicators

170+ technical indicators via jesse.indicators:

• Momentum: RSI, MACD, Stochastic, ADX, CCI, MFI
• Trend: EMA, SMA, Supertrend, Parabolic SAR, VWAP
• Volatility: Bollinger Bands, ATR, Keltner Channels
• Volume: OBV, Volume Profile, Chaikin Money Flow
• And many more...

Use get_all_technical_indicators to see the full list.

• Max 1 active deployment per wallet
• Immediate deployment
• Lower setup complexity

Hyperliquid Vault:

• Requires 200+ USDC in wallet
• Unlimited deployments

Troubleshooting

"Insufficient Credits" Error

Check balance: get_credit_balance Purchase credits in Robonet dashboard if needed

"No Data Available" for Backtest

Use get_data_availability to check symbol coverage Try shorter date range or different symbol BTC-USDT and ETH-USDT have longest history (2020-present)

"No Trades Generated" in Backtest

Entry conditions may be too restrictive Try longer test period or adjust thresholds Use get_strategy_code to review logic

Backtest Takes >2 Minutes

Long date ranges (>2 years) or high-frequency timeframes (1m) are slow Use shorter ranges or lower frequency timeframes

Strategy Not Showing in Web Interface

Strategies are linked to API key's wallet Ensure logged into same account that owns the API key Refresh "My Strategies" page

Example Prompts

Create a simple strategy:

Use Robonet MCP to create a momentum strategy for BTC-USDT on 4h timeframe that:
- Enters long when RSI crosses above 30 and price is above 50-day EMA
- Exits with 2% stop loss or 4% take profit
- Uses 95% of available margin

Backtest existing strategy:

Backtest my RSIMeanReversion_M strategy on ETH-USDT 1h timeframe from 2024-01-01 to 2024-06-30

Optimize parameters:

Optimize the RSI period and stop loss percentage for my MomentumBreakout_H strategy on BTC-USDT 4h from 2024-01-01 to 2024-12-31

Add ML predictions:

Enhance my TrendFollower_M strategy with Allora predictions for ETH-USDT 8h timeframe and compare performance

Deploy to live trading:

Deploy my RSIMeanReversion_M_allora strategy to Hyperliquid on BTC-USDT 4h with 2x leverage using EOA deployment
