VELORYNFrom an idea
to a governed trade.
You do not need a finance or programming background to understand Veloryn. Start with the five stages below, then use the glossary whenever an unfamiliar word appears.
Observe market data
Veloryn receives completed price candles and other evidence. Historical data comes from saved archives during a backtest. Current live prices come from the configured broker.
Calculate features
The system converts raw prices into consistent measurements such as trend, momentum, volatility, and relative volume. These measurements are called features.
Produce a signal
A strategy examines the features and may suggest buy, sell, or no action. A signal is only a recommendation; it cannot place an order.
Size and challenge it
Central position sizing decides how much capital could be used. Independent risk gates can reduce or reject the idea because of exposure, drawdown, stale data, or other limits.
Execute and reconcile
Only an approved intent reaches the broker boundary. The broker reports orders and fills, and Veloryn compares those records with its own durable state.
Backtest
A historical simulation for measuring ideas. Useful for rejecting weak strategies, but vulnerable to overfitting and unrealistic assumptions.
Paper
A forward operational test with no real capital. Useful for reconnects, data freshness, scheduling, and order lifecycle behavior.
Restricted-capital canary
The first real-money stage, limited to approved symbols and small capital after prior tests pass.
Production
Still bounded by certification, risk gates, reconciliation, monitoring, and a kill switch. “Production” never means unlimited authority.
