Before you begin

• Sign up for a Traseq account and log in.
• Make sure you’re inside a workspace.

​

Step 1: Create a new strategy

1. Click Strategies in the left navigation bar.
2. Click New Strategy in the upper right corner.
3. Enter a strategy name, for example RSI Oversold Bounce.

Note: Pick a name that describes the logic — it helps when you’re comparing multiple versions later.

​

Step 2: Add a block from the library

1. Open the Block Library panel on the left side of the editor.
2. Browse blocks by category — for example, Trend or Momentum.
3. Click a block to add it to the canvas, such as RSI Oversold.

​

Step 3: Merge blocks

1. Add a second block, for example EMA Bullish Cross.
2. Drag one block close to the other.
3. Release when the merge prompt appears.

This creates a condition group — both conditions must be true at the same time for the signal to fire.

​

Step 4: Drag the group into the entry zone

1. At the bottom of the canvas, you’ll see Entry and Exit zones.
2. Drag your merged group into Entry.
3. This tells the strategy when to open a position.

​

Step 5: Configure the entry action

1. Click the entry action row in the Entry zone.
2. Set your preferences:
   • Side — Long or Short
   • Position Size — percentage of total capital
3. Close the panel when you’re done.

​

Step 6: Finalize the strategy

1. Review your strategy logic.
2. Click Finalize in the upper right corner.
3. The version changes from Draft to Ready and is now locked for backtesting.

Warning: A finalized version can’t be edited. If you need to make changes, create a new version.

​

Step 7: Run a backtest

After finalization, the QuickRun panel opens automatically.

1. Choose a backtest period.
2. Pick a timeframe — 15m, 1h, 4h, or 1d.
3. Confirm the initial capital (default is $10,000 USD).
4. Click Run Backtest.

Note: Traseq currently supports USDT spot pairs including BTCUSDT, ETHUSDT, and SOLUSDT. All plans can use every supported timeframe — plan differences mainly limit how far back you can test.

​

Step 8: Review the results

When the backtest finishes, you’ll see the results page with these tabs:
