Introducing SteadyEdge: Build, Backtest, and Run Crypto Bots From One Dashboard
SteadyEdge is a visual trading platform for systematic crypto traders. It brings strategy design, historical backtesting, live bot control, and performance analytics into one dashboard.
The goal is simple: make the path from an idea to a monitored live strategy clearer, faster, and easier to control.
What is SteadyEdge?
SteadyEdge is software for building and operating crypto trading strategies. Instead of keeping strategy logic in one tool, backtest results in another, exchange access somewhere else, and performance notes in spreadsheets, SteadyEdge keeps the main workflow connected.
With SteadyEdge, traders can:
- Build strategy rules in a visual editor
- Add filters, entry logic, exit logic, sizing, and safety limits
- Backtest ideas on historical market data before going live
- Connect Binance or Bybit with trade-only API permissions
- Launch, pause, and inspect live bots from one dashboard
- Review PnL, drawdown, trade quality, journals, and analytics over time
It is designed for people who want more structure around automated trading, not just another start button for a bot.
Why we built it
Automated trading can become messy quickly. A strategy may start as a simple idea, but the real operating workflow usually involves many separate decisions:
- Which rules define the signal?
- Which market and timeframe should it run on?
- What filters prevent low-quality entries?
- How much risk should each position take?
- What happens after a backtest looks good?
- How do you watch the bot after it goes live?
When those decisions are spread across scripts, exchange tabs, screenshots, spreadsheets, and chat notes, it becomes harder to understand what is actually happening.
SteadyEdge is built around a more practical flow: design the rules, test the idea, launch with controlled permissions, and keep reading the results in the same place.
The core workflow
1. Build the strategy
A strategy starts with clear rules. In SteadyEdge, the strategy builder is meant to keep the logic readable: entries, exits, filters, position sizing, and safety limits stay together instead of being hidden across disconnected settings.
The point is not to make every strategy complicated. The point is to make every important rule visible before the bot is allowed to trade.
2. Backtest before launch
Before a strategy goes live, it should be tested against market history. Backtesting helps answer practical questions:
- Did the idea behave consistently across different market periods?
- How large was the drawdown?
- How many trades did the strategy take?
- Were results driven by a small number of lucky trades?
- Does the risk profile still make sense after fees and volatility?
Backtests do not guarantee future results, but they are useful for filtering weak ideas before real capital is involved.
3. Connect an exchange
SteadyEdge currently focuses on Binance and Bybit. The platform is designed around trade-only API access: withdrawal permissions are not required for the trading workflow.
That matters because exchange API keys should be treated carefully. A trading platform should only ask for the permissions it needs to perform its job.
4. Run and monitor live bots
Once a strategy is live, the work is not finished. A live bot needs monitoring: status, exposure, recent events, current performance, and risk context should be easy to read.
SteadyEdge keeps live controls and analytics close together so traders can understand what a bot is doing without switching between too many tools.
What is inside the platform?
SteadyEdge is organized around the main surfaces traders use day to day:
Strategy Builder
Create the structure of the strategy: market, side, entries, filters, exits, sizing, and risk rules.
Backtesting
Run strategy ideas on historical candles and review metrics such as net return, drawdown, win rate, profit factor, and trade count.
Live Bot Control
Launch, pause, inspect, and manage live strategies with clear visibility into status and recent activity.
Analytics
Review performance after the strategy starts trading. Metrics, journals, and heatmaps make it easier to study what is working and what needs attention.
Account and API Safety
Connect exchange accounts with the permissions needed for trading. SteadyEdge does not require withdrawal API access.
Who is SteadyEdge for?
SteadyEdge is for traders who want a structured way to test and operate crypto strategies.
It is especially useful if you:
- Build your own strategy logic
- Want to compare ideas before going live
- Need a clearer dashboard for running multiple bots
- Prefer visual controls over custom scripts
- Want performance analytics tied to the rules you configured
- Trade on Binance or Bybit and want a cleaner operating workflow
It is not designed as a promise of easy profit. It is a tool for strategy design, automation, validation, monitoring, and review.
What SteadyEdge is not
It is important to be clear about what the platform does not do.
SteadyEdge is not an exchange, broker, custodian, investment adviser, or guarantee of trading results. Trading involves risk. Backtests are informational and can fail to match live market behavior because liquidity, fees, volatility, execution, and market structure can change.
The platform is built to give traders better tools and clearer controls. The trading decisions, risk settings, and capital allocation choices remain the user's responsibility.
The direction from here
This is the first article on the SteadyEdge blog, and it sets the foundation for what we will publish next.
Future posts will cover:
- How the strategy builder works
- How to read a backtest report
- What to check before launching a live bot
- Binance and Bybit API key setup
- Risk controls for automated strategies
- Product updates and platform improvements
The larger goal is to make automated crypto trading less fragmented and more transparent: one surface for building, testing, deploying, and improving strategies.
