Moving a Backtested Supermind Strategy into Live Trading

Summary

This guide outlines how to move a strategy from backtesting or simulation into Supermind’s live research-trading environment. It describes logging in to a simulated or funded account, creating live-trading code, and adapting a backtest template to initialize the trading API and submit orders. The example also demonstrates checking orders, cancelling an order, and inspecting trade logs and portfolio state.

The guide says a running task counter indicates that the strategy is active. If it does not run, it points to server memory pressure as a possible cause; slow or missed scheduled execution may result from inefficient logic or excessive data use. It recommends optimizing the code and clearing objects to manage memory. The material is operational guidance rather than a trading strategy, and it provides no performance evidence or detailed risk controls for live order placement.

Key ideas

• A simulated account can be used to check whether a strategy runs before moving to a funded account.
• The live template initializes a trading API and embeds the strategy code for execution.
• The example illustrates order submission, cancellation, and inspection of orders, trades, and portfolio state.
• Memory pressure and slow code can prevent or delay scheduled strategy execution.
