Create a bot with both strategies

Bundle the two strategies into one bot with instance allocation, sizing, and risk settings.

Do this

  1. Open Bots → New. That opens the same editor as an existing bot.
  2. Select an exchange and an asset type. Allocation, sizing, risk, and instances appear after those are set. Changing either field later asks for confirmation and resets the settings below.
  3. Add two instances:
    • Instance A: first strategy, timeframe matching your first backtest.
    • Instance B: component-backed strategy, timeframe matching your second backtest.
  4. Give each instance a capital weight (equal weights are fine).
  5. Set bot-level sizing and risk to simple defaults you understand (for example, percent sizing).
  6. Save. A blank name gets a playful placeholder. Creating a bot does not start trading.

Why this matters

Bots are authoring objects. Runtime start/stop, funding, and Modeled positions live on Execution. Venue fields on the bot are market-data / Reference price identity, not exchange login.
