BuildBuilder + CodeValidateReports + optimizerRunDemo to Live Real
Desktop Trading Workstation
One workflow from strategy idea to live control.
Build rules, use AI when it helps, validate, optimize, rehearse in Demo, then promote to Live Real with the desktop app still in charge.
Platform workflow
A guided path, not a pile of tools.
OttoTrader keeps the strategy lifecycle in one product rhythm: build, draft, prove, rehearse, operate.
- 01
Build explicit rules
Start in the desktop workstation with Visual Builder blocks, Code JSON, imports, or TradingView role setup.
- 02
Use AI when it saves time
Connect your own AI provider key or export browser-AI instructions, then bring the draft back for local validation.
- 03
Validate and optimize
Run backtests, inspect assumptions, compare Strategy Optimizer candidates, and reject brittle results early.
- 04
Rehearse in Demo
Verify exchange context, pair, sizing, protection behavior, and TradingView alerts before capital is involved.
- 05
Promote to Live Real
Move forward only when the desktop app owns the final execution context and the risks are visible.
Platform tour
See how one strategy moves from idea to live review.
Move through the three places traders use most: building the strategy, testing the evidence, and watching the operating context.

Turn the idea into rules.

Control boundaries
The website helps. The desktop executes.
OttoTrader separates account surfaces, ownership, remote requests, exchange credentials, and live execution so each part has a clear job.
Strategy work stays together.
Builder, Code, backtesting, Strategy Optimizer, exchange contexts, Demo, and Live Real controls live in the workstation instead of separate tools.
Account work stays out of execution.
The website handles account, billing, downloads, ownership, tutorials, and marketplace surfaces without holding exchange API secrets.
Remote checks do not become browser trading.
RTC can inspect state and queue guarded requests, while the signed-in desktop validates local state before any command can run.
Demo to live
Move forward only when the operating context is visible.
A platform is only useful if the final mile is controlled: context, protections, positions, and mode stay readable before any live work.
Practice the exact workflow.
Use Demo to check strategy behavior, manual controls, TradingView webhook delivery, and protection setup without live orders.
Keep mode and context visible.
The desktop keeps exchange, market type, mode, pair, sizing, leverage, TP/SL, and runtime controls in the same operating surface.
Stay close to what is running.
Dashboard, active strategies, positions, reports, and RTC snapshots help keep the running state tied to the research that created it.
Next step
Build the strategy where it will be tested and operated.
The desktop app is where builder rules, validation, reports, exchange contexts, and Demo or Live Real controls come together.
