Managing Strategies
The Strategies page shows all your strategies and lets you manage their lifecycle.
Summary Bar
Section titled “Summary Bar”At the top of the page, a summary line shows how many strategies are running, on hold, and archived, plus their total P&L. The counts, the figure and its label all follow every filter you have set, so they describe the strategies on screen. Switch the status filter to All (with no other filter) to read your account as a whole.
When the strategies on screen come to exactly zero, the figure reads Level in neutral text rather than the loss colour.
Filtering and Sorting
Section titled “Filtering and Sorting”Status Filters
Section titled “Status Filters”Use the filter tabs to focus on a subset of strategies:
- Running (default) - strategies that are actively evaluating and trading
- On hold - strategies that are paused
- All - every strategy regardless of status
- Archived - strategies that have been retired (shown slightly dimmed)
Sort Options
Section titled “Sort Options”Sort your strategy cards by:
- Performance (default) - best P&L first
- Recent - most recently evaluated first
- Name - alphabetical
Strategy Cards
Section titled “Strategy Cards”Each strategy appears as a compact card showing:
- Name - the strategy name (auto-generated from the asset if you didn’t set one)
- Asset, timeframe, and exchange - e.g. “BTC-EUR - Daily - Bitvavo”
- Status - running or on hold
- Total P&L - realized + unrealized, as amount and percentage. A strategy sitting exactly level shows EUR 0.00 without an up or down arrow. If you have withdrawn more from a strategy than you ever put in, the percentage is left out and only the amount is shown
- Round-trip count - how many completed BUY→SELL pairs the strategy has booked
- Last activity - relative time since the last evaluation (e.g. “3 hours ago”)
- Status sentence - a human-readable summary of what the strategy is doing
- Milestone badges - achievements like “First round trip” or “ATH”
A + Create new strategy card always appears at the end of the grid (except in the Archived filter), making it easy to add more strategies.
Creating a Strategy
Section titled “Creating a Strategy”Click Create Strategy (top right) or the card at the end of the grid. You define:
- Exchange and trading pair (e.g. Bitvavo, BTC-EUR)
- Timeframe (e.g. Daily, 4H, Weekly)
- Buy and sell trigger thresholds (sigma-based)
- Order amounts
- Allocated capital
Below the settings is a Start on hold checkbox. Tick it and the strategy is saved without trading: “It won’t place any orders until you press Resume on its page.” That gives you a chance to check everything first, which matters most once you trade with real money. Leave it unticked and the strategy starts straight away.
Aurono also checks the settings when it saves them, not only in the form: thresholds must be positive and at least one side needs an amount.
Strategy Lifecycle
Section titled “Strategy Lifecycle”Every strategy goes through a lifecycle:
Create → Active (running) → Pause (on hold) → Resume (running again) → Archive
A strategy created with Start on hold skips the first step: it begins paused and runs once you press Resume.
Pausing and Resuming
Section titled “Pausing and Resuming”You can pause a running strategy at any time. Pausing stops all evaluation - no decisions are made and no orders are placed. Your capital and positions stay put and still show up in your portfolio totals; they still belong to the strategy.
What changes is that Aurono stops counting a paused strategy when it works out how much EUR your strategies need:
- It doesn’t show up in Lab → Rebalance - not as a strategy that needs capital, and not as a source of spare capital
- It doesn’t count toward the dashboard liquidity warning (“your strategies expect more EUR than is on the exchange”)
- It doesn’t count toward the over-allocation warnings when you create a new strategy or deposit into one
- It won’t fire any trades until you resume it
If you want to add or take out capital from a paused strategy, do it from the strategy’s detail page - Deposit and Withdraw still work there.
Press Resume on a paused strategy to restart evaluation. As soon as you do, the rebalancer sees it again and any liquidity warnings update.
Archiving
Section titled “Archiving”When you no longer want a strategy, archive it. Archiving releases the strategy’s cash. Any coins it holds stay on the exchange, but Aurono no longer tracks or trades them. The confirmation says this before you confirm. Archived strategies:
- Stop all evaluation
- Are removed from the Dashboard’s strategy cards, though their result still counts toward the dashboard’s total P&L
- Remain visible under the Archived filter
- Preserve their full history
- Keep the value their position had on the day you archived them, rather than moving with a market they no longer trade
Archiving is refused while one of the strategy’s orders is still open on the exchange. The message names the blocking order and says what to do about it; the strategy stays exactly as it was. If the strategy is paused, resume it first, because a paused strategy’s orders aren’t being watched either.
Archiving is permanent - archived strategies cannot be resumed.
Strategy Versions
Section titled “Strategy Versions”When you change a strategy’s parameters, Aurono creates a new version. Previous versions are preserved in the strategy’s history, so you can always see what changed and when. This gives you a clear audit trail of every parameter adjustment.
Saving an edit keeps the strategy in the state it was in. A paused strategy stays paused, including one paused automatically when you switched to live trading; only Resume starts it again.
Strategy Detail
Section titled “Strategy Detail”Click any strategy card to open a detail modal with:
- Current parameters and version history
- Capital and inventory breakdown
- P&L metrics (realized and unrealized)
- Trade history
- Evaluation log
- Actions: pause, resume, archive, deposit/withdraw capital
You can navigate between strategies using the left/right arrows or keyboard arrow keys without closing the modal.
If multiple strategies trade the same asset, the detail view shows a contextual ranking (e.g. “Best of 3 BTC strategies”).
Capital Management
Section titled “Capital Management”Each strategy has its own allocated capital. You can:
- Deposit additional capital to a strategy
- Withdraw capital from a strategy (if sufficient free capital is available)
Capital changes are logged as events and reflected immediately in the strategy’s available balance.
To move capital between strategies, use the Rebalance tab in the Lab.
Depositing more than is on the exchange
Section titled “Depositing more than is on the exchange”You can deposit more EUR into a strategy than your exchange currently has free. A yellow warning explains the resulting shortfall, but lets you continue - Aurono treats this as forward planning. The strategy’s free EUR goes up right away, the dashboard banner updates to show the new gap, and the strategy keeps trading as normal. Any buy that fires before you top up the exchange will be rejected by the exchange.
Withdraws are stricter: you can never take out more EUR than the strategy actually has free. That’s a hard limit.
