How It Works
Strategy Rule Converter
Vordant converts plain-English trading rules into structured automation configuration — signal condition, action, order type, risk controls, and monitoring requirements. The annotated examples below show how that conversion works for common strategy types.
⚠️ The examples below are illustrative only. Full strategy configuration and execution require an authenticated Vordant account. This page does not generate executable code, Pine Script, or exchange orders.
From Plain English to Structured Automation
Most traders start with a strategy they can describe in words. Automation requires that description to be precise enough for a system to follow without any judgment calls. A plain-English rule like “buy when it looks good” is not automatable. A rule like “buy when RSI crosses above 30 on the 1-hour chart” is.
Vordant structures those rules across six fields before a bot can be configured: signal condition, action, market, order type, risk control, and monitoring note. Each field must be explicitly defined. If a field is missing, Vordant flags it as a gap that must be resolved before live execution is permitted.
Annotated Conversion Examples
Each example shows a plain-English rule set alongside the structured automation format Vordant uses — including any gaps that would need to be resolved before automation.
RSI Reversal
Plain-English rule:
Buy BTCUSDT when RSI crosses above 30 on the 1-hour chart. Sell when RSI crosses above 70. Stop loss at 2% below entry. Risk 1% of portfolio per trade.
Structured automation format:
| Signal condition | TradingView alert — RSI cross, 1H chart |
|---|---|
| Action | buy / sell |
| Market | BTCUSDT |
| Order type | Market order |
| Risk control | Stop-loss: 2% below entry · Position size: 1% of portfolio |
| Monitoring note | Paper trading required before live execution. Review execution log after first 10 signals. |
EMA Crossover
Plain-English rule:
Enter long when the 9 EMA crosses above the 21 EMA on the 4-hour chart. Exit when 9 EMA crosses back below 21 EMA.
Structured automation format:
| Signal condition | TradingView alert — 9/21 EMA cross, 4H chart |
|---|---|
| Action | buy (entry) / sell (exit) |
| Market | Detect from TradingView alert symbol |
| Order type | Market order (assumed — confirm in bot config) |
| Risk control | ⚠ No stop-loss defined — must be resolved before automation |
| Monitoring note | Paper trading required. No stop-loss means unbounded loss risk if signal misbehaves. |
- No stop-loss rule — must be defined before live execution
Daily Breakout
Plain-English rule:
Buy BTC when price breaks above yesterday's high on the daily chart. Take profit at 3% above entry. Stop loss at yesterday's low.
Structured automation format:
| Signal condition | TradingView alert — daily high breakout |
|---|---|
| Action | buy |
| Market | BTCUSDT |
| Order type | Market order |
| Risk control | Take-profit: +3% from entry · Stop-loss: yesterday's low |
| Monitoring note | Paper trading required. Confirm daily alert fires at correct candle close time. |
- Position sizing not defined — quantity per trade must be set in bot config
What Full Strategy Configuration Requires
The examples above illustrate the structure. Full strategy configuration inside Vordant involves additional steps that require an authenticated account:
- TradingView alert connection — your strategy must fire a TradingView alert that sends a JSON payload to your Vordant webhook URL.
- Bot configuration — you define the market, order type, position sizing, and risk parameters inside your Vordant bot settings.
- Paper trading validation — the strategy runs in paper mode first, generating an execution log you can review before enabling live trading.
- Readiness gate completion — Vordant requires you to confirm readiness criteria before switching to live execution.
- Exchange API connection — your exchange API keys are connected server-side. Vordant routes orders to the exchange on signal receipt.
