Trading strategies on Quanify
A strategy in Quanify is a source of signals: your TradingView alert, a Python script, or a published Quanify strategy. None trade until you attach an account and turn Power on.
A strategy is a source of signals
It decides when to trade. Which accounts, what size and whether it's on are set on the trader it's attached to, and nothing trades until you power it on.
- Your own: a webhook URL anything can POST to
- Published: a Quanify strategy added from the Library
- Both get the same risk checks and per-account sizing

How a published strategy is measured
Each card carries the backtest it was published with and every signal it has fired since.
- Backtest
- Parsed from the strategy's TradingView list of trades at publication
- Forward record
- Every signal since publication, recorded live
- Metrics
- Sharpe, Sortino, win rate, max drawdown
- What it shows
- Whether the backtest has held up since going live
Size and risk, set per strategy and per account
- Per-account multiplier
- A whole number from 1 to 999 per account scales the signal's contract count.
- Fixed contract size
- Set on the strategy, it overrides whatever quantity the alert carried.
- Allow 2+ entries
- Off by default. A signal adding to a same-direction position is refused; exits and reversals pass.
- Power and Mute
- Power off stops new signals and Mute pauses one account. Neither closes a position.
Test a strategy without an evaluation
- 01
Attach a paper account
A Quanify Paper account fills from the strategy's signals with your commission and slippage, and can't reach a live broker.
- 02
Or use a Tradovate demo
Run it through real sessions on a demo account. The configuration stays the same for a funded one.
- 03
Watch when it fires
A week of how often and when it trades tells you more than a P&L figure.
- 04
Size it, then arm it
Read the drawdown before the return, and pick the contract size before the first bad session.
What Quanify doesn't do with strategies
No strategy comes with a promised return. Futures are leveraged, and past performance, live, simulated or backtested, doesn't indicate future results.
Quanify is software. It doesn't manage funds, hold money, give investment advice or trade on your behalf.
Risk disclosureCommon questions
Short answers to what traders ask first. Anything else, the Help Center has it.
Can I use my own strategy?
Yes, on an Automation plan. Create a strategy, take its webhook URL, and point a TradingView alert, Python script or any HTTP request at it. There's no SDK to install.
What are Premium Quanify Strategies?
Published Library strategies, each with the backtest it was published with and its live forward record since. Auto Pro includes 2 picks, changeable once a week; Auto Ultimate includes all of them.
Are the strategies profitable?
No strategy comes with a promised return. What's published is the record: the backtest, forward performance since publication and the drawdown. Past performance doesn't indicate future results.
Does Quanify trade for me?
No. Quanify routes signals to accounts you own and configured. It doesn't manage funds, hold money or give investment advice.
How do I control the size a strategy trades?
A fixed contract size on the strategy overrides the signal's quantity; a whole-number multiplier per account scales it. Both apply before the order is sent.
What happens if a strategy sends a bad signal?
It's checked before any order against the off-by-default Allow 2+ entries guard, which refuses to add to a position you already hold. Power off and per-account Mute stop it entirely.
