Backtesting & Deployment

Once your strategy is ready, BlaveClaw automatically runs a backtest and sends you the report. Review the results and go live with a two-step confirmation.

Backtest Workflow

After writing the strategy, BlaveClaw automatically runs a backtest and sends results to Telegram.

1

BlaveClaw runs the strategy with MODE = "backtest", simulating trades over the configured date range.

2

A performance report chart (PnL curve + signal markers) is sent to Telegram, along with these metrics:

  • Return [%] — Total return over the backtest period
  • Sharpe Ratio — Risk-adjusted return; higher is better (aim for > 1)
  • Max Drawdown [%] — Largest peak-to-trough loss; lower is more stable
  • Win Rate [%] — Percentage of profitable trades
  • # Trades — Total trade count (too few may indicate sparse signals)
3

Based on the report, decide whether to tweak parameters or proceed to deployment confirmation.

Deployment Confirmation

BlaveClaw uses a strict two-step confirmation to prevent accidental deployment. You must reply YES to each step explicitly.

Step 1: Confirm Deployment

BlaveClaw asks:

Backtest results shown above. Deploy strategy to Live? Reply YES to confirm.

You reply:

YES

Step 2: Confirm Position Sizing

BlaveClaw then asks how much capital to use per trade:

Choose position sizing:
1. Fixed amount (e.g. 100 USDT per trade)
2. Fixed percentage (e.g. 10% of account balance per trade)

After confirmation, BlaveClaw switches to MODE = "live" and schedules the strategy to run automatically.

Important Both steps require an explicit YES. Ambiguous replies ("ok", "sure") will not trigger deployment.

Type B Deployment

Type B strategies skip backtesting. Confirmation is a single step:

Strategy logic shown above. Deploy? Reply YES to confirm.

The strategy is then scheduled and goes live immediately after confirmation.
