Building blocks

Strategies in Quanorix are typed rule trees built from building blocks: classic indicators, operators, and price-action / structure blocks (SMC, FVG, ORB, and similar).

What it means for you

Before live trading: read the coverage report in Export bots.

Families (customer level)

Without listing the full internal catalog:
  • Indicators — averages, oscillators, volatility (ATR), etc.
  • Price / structure — swings, S/R, trends.
  • Session / time — hour filters and Asia/London/NY presets (see Sessions).
  • SMC / liquidity — order blocks, BOS/CHOCH, FVG / IFVG, sweeps (as available).
  • Patterns — e.g. ORB, bull flag, CRT, or others enabled in your build.
Settings → Blocks enables or disables families for new searches and, for blocks with parameters, lets each user edit the search space (fixed, list, or range). Reset returns to the catalog. Already saved strategies are not rewritten.

Warmup and HTF

  • Many indicators need warmup bars; the engine accounts for them when evaluating.
  • Higher-timeframe context aligns to entry; with HTF, entry edge is often preferable (multi-TF).

Export-ready

A strategy is safer to export when:
  1. Its blocks are supported (or you knowingly accept approximate).
  2. Costs and TZ are calibrated (realism, Sessions).
  3. It passed at least a reasonable OOS / walk-forward check.
