Krafter Bots trade simulated capital only. No real orders are placed, and no brokerage account is connected.
A bot runs the rules you’ve already written, on the schedule you set, against live market data. It opens and closes positions on its own, logs every evaluation it makes, and pauses when you tell it to — so you can watch a strategy meet live markets without money at risk.
On each evaluation, the bot checks its trigger conditions against current data. If they’re met and capital allows, it opens a position; if an open position meets an exit condition, it closes it. Every evaluation is logged with the values it read and the rule that fired, so a decision you didn’t watch is still one you can audit afterwards. Entries stop at 3:55 PM ET — the last five minutes of the session are left alone.
Bots evaluate and fill at a single live model price per leg — no spread is crossed and no commission is charged. Backtests apply a modeled spread and commissions, so a bot’s paper result is not directly comparable to a backtest of the same rules.
No. Bots trade simulated capital, isolated per bot. There is no brokerage integration, so nothing a bot does can reach a real account.
On the schedule you choose — from every five minutes during regular hours to once a day — plus one after-close pass that settles the day’s book-keeping against closing prices.
Pause holds its open position and blocks new entries; stop ends the bot and keeps its history.
Because they price differently — see “How bot pricing differs from a backtest” above.
