Once your workflow is designed, you can execute it, backtest it, and optimize it to fine-tune your trading strategies.
Conclusion
With the Visual Editor, you have the power to construct complex trading algorithms without the need for coding. By leveraging the wide range of nodes available, you can build sophisticated strategies using a visually intuitive interface. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced trader, the Visual Editor empowers you to explore and implement your trading ideas effectively.
