Are live strategies supported in QuantPilot?

Learn whether QuantPilot strategies can trade live automatically.

  • Live strategy automation is not currently supported in QuantPilot.

  • You can build, edit, validate, optimize, and backtest strategies in QuantPilot, but QuantPilot strategies do not currently auto-trade live from the strategy workflow.


What is currently supported?

  • You can use QuantPilot to work on trading strategies before live deployment.

  • For example, you can:

    • describe a strategy idea in chat

    • ask the agent to generate strategy logic

    • review and edit QuantScript

    • validate a strategy

    • run backtests

    • compare strategy versions

    • optimize parameters

    • test robustness

    • prepare a strategy for later use

  • These tools help you research and test a strategy, but they do not mean the strategy is trading live automatically.


Are live strategies supported?

  • No. Live strategies are not currently supported.

  • This means you should not expect a QuantPilot strategy to:

    • automatically place live orders

    • run continuously in the market

    • manage live positions for you

    • execute strategy signals without manual action

    • auto-trade from a backtest or strategy chat

  • If you see wording such as “before going live” or “live deployment,” treat it as referring to a future or planned workflow unless live strategy automation is clearly available in your account.


Can I still use Trading Strategies?

  • Yes. You can still use Trading Strategies to build and test strategy ideas.

  • Trading Strategies can help you:

    • turn an idea into strategy logic

    • review how the strategy works

    • adjust parameters

    • validate the script

    • backtest the strategy

    • compare different versions

    • find issues before using a strategy elsewhere

  • This is useful even before live strategy automation is available.


Is Terminal the same as live strategy automation?

  • No. Terminal and live strategy automation are different.

  • Terminal is for manual trading. It may let users view charts, place trades, and manage positions, depending on what is available in their account.

  • Live strategy automation means a saved strategy runs automatically and places trades based on its logic.

  • Using Terminal does not mean your QuantPilot strategy is running live automatically.


Can I manually place trades based on a strategy?

  • If Terminal is available in your account, you may be able to place manual trades there.

  • However, manual trading is your own action. It is not the same as a QuantPilot strategy auto-trading for you.

  • Before placing any manual trade, review the strategy, market conditions, and risk carefully.


When will live strategies be available?

  • Live strategy automation is planned, but the exact release date has not been announced yet.

  • We recommend checking QuantPilot product updates or Help Center articles for the latest information.


Why backtesting is still important

  • Backtesting helps you understand how a strategy would have behaved using historical data.

  • Before live strategy automation is available, you can use backtesting to:

    • compare strategy versions

    • check whether the logic works as intended

    • test different parameters

    • identify weak periods

    • review risk settings

    • decide whether a strategy needs more work

  • A backtest is not a live trading result and does not guarantee future performance.


What users should remember

  • QuantPilot can help you build, edit, validate, optimize, and backtest strategies.

  • QuantPilot strategies do not currently auto-trade live from the strategy workflow.

  • Terminal manual trading is separate from live strategy automation.

  • Do not assume a strategy is trading live unless QuantPilot clearly shows that live automation is available and active for that strategy.
