Strategy

Turn your edge into rules you can actually keep

Why we built Strategy

Every trader says they have a strategy. Ask them to write it down and it is usually a feeling, a chart pattern and a hope. A strategy you can't check isn't a strategy. So Tracktions has you write the rules as yes-or-no questions and checks every trade against them. Then it shows which rules carry your edge and which ones you keep breaking.

Write the playbook once

Entry, exit, risk, sizing and psychology rules, each one a plain yes-or-no question. Nothing to tune, nothing to over-engineer.

Observations on any rule

Record the number behind a rule, like the size of the gap, and later see whether it actually changes your results.

Every trade meets its checklist

Log a trade and its playbook becomes a checklist. Your compliance score is simply the share of rules you actually followed.

Questions traders ask

What should a trading playbook include?

Clear rules for entry, exit, risk, position size and your own psychology, written so each one can be answered yes or no after a trade. Tracktions groups them by phase and lets you attach observations to test what actually matters.

How is the strategy compliance score calculated?

It is the number of rules you followed divided by the number of rules on the playbook’s checklist, as a percentage. Every rule counts the same.

How do I know if my trading strategy has stopped working?

Tracktions checks the SQN of each playbook’s last 20 trades. 1.6 or higher is Healthy, 0.7 or higher is a Warning and anything lower is flagged Unhealthy. Playbooks with fewer than 20 trades are not judged yet.

Can I compare two trading strategies?

Yes. The strategy comparator puts two playbooks side by side across 14 metrics, an overall profile chart and both R distributions, and gives a verdict. It is part of the Elite plan.

Does Tracktions recommend strategies to trade?

No. Tracktions never suggests strategies, instruments or trades. It measures how your own playbooks perform and how closely you follow them.
