Strategies

Strategies

Strategies combine scoring directives to evaluate a symbol, opportunity, or trading/investing condition.

Raw Scores

A strategy score is a raw total from its active directives. Do not assume the score is always a percentage or limited to 0-100.

See Understanding Scores for the scoring model.

Strategy Maximum

Each directive can define a maximum score. The strategy maximum is the combined maximum of the active directives in that strategy.

Health And Automation

Strategies should not rely on failed directives.

If an active scoring or trading strategy uses a directive with failed health, TradePress should pause that strategy automatically unless a deliberate safe fallback is configured.

What To Check Before Using A Strategy

• The strategy purpose is clear.
• Active directives are understood.
• Provider-backed directives have healthy data.
• The strategy maximum is known.
• Failed directives are resolved before automation is enabled.

Alpha Status

Automated trading is not production-ready. Treat strategies as decision support until the relevant health checks, pause rules, and live-data paths are complete.
