Terms & Concepts
A quick glossary of key terms and strategy settings used across the Liquid AI platform.
The name of your backtest. Good titles include the strategy, pair, and threshold to help keep track of different configs.
The trading pair and DEX you’re testing (e.g., WETH/USDC on Uniswap v3).
Separate Buy / Sell
If enabled, it lets the strategy use different thresholds for buying and selling. Leave it off for symmetric behavior.
Time Window (Days)
The number of past days the strategy uses to calculate its signals (like volatility or price bands). Example: a 10-day rolling window.
The final day included in the backtest. Think of this as the “cutoff” point.
Timeframe (1D / 1H)
The granularity of the candles used in the backtest:
How many days of historical data you want the backtest to simulate. This is your full test range, counting backwards from the End Date.
The minimum % move needed to trigger a trade. Lower = more trades, higher = fewer trades.
The size of each simulated trade, in quote currency (e.g., 0.1 USDC worth per trade if quote = USDC).
Initial Base Balance
How much of the base asset (e.g., WETH) you start with at the beginning of the backtest.
Initial Quote Balance
How much of the quote asset (e.g., PEPE) you start with.
Maximum Drawdown Limit
An optional safety stop. If the strategy loses this % from the starting portfolio value, it will stop simulating further trades.
