Strategies
A strategy is a list of traders plus the rules that decide what happens when one of them calls something. It is where all the automation lives.
Sources
Section titled “Sources”Add traders by searching the roster, or start from a prebuilt list and prune it. Traders you already follow or copy show up first in your library, so a strategy usually starts from people you know.
A trader can sit in more than one strategy. Each strategy sizes them independently.
One call at a time, or all of them
Section titled “One call at a time, or all of them”You do not have to automate anything to use Rubick. A call in your feed can be copied on the spot: the ticket shows your size, your boost, your take profit and the most you can lose, and one slide arms the trade with its exits already attached.
Auto copy is the same thing standing. Flip a caller on and your agent takes every future call they make at your sizing, around the clock. It skips posts that read as noise rather than a thesis, and it logs everything it does. Stop one copy, or stop them all, whenever you want.
Sizing
Section titled “Sizing”Every strategy has default settings that apply to all of its traders:
- Size per trade, as a dollar amount or as a percentage of your available margin.
- Boost, the multiplier behind each copy, up to 20x.
- Take profit and stop loss, as percentages.
Any row can override the defaults, so one trader you trust can carry a bigger size than the rest without changing everyone.
The strategy header always shows the arithmetic: how many traders are in it, and the total margin the strategy needs to run every one of them at the size you set.
The margin gate
Section titled “The margin gate”Rubick will not arm a strategy your balance cannot support. If your funds cannot cover the margin that every trader in the strategy would need, the app refuses the change and shows you the maths instead of failing later at the worst moment.
If a running strategy outgrows your balance, it goes to close only. Existing positions are managed normally, and no new copies open until there is margin for them again.
Copy and Counter
Section titled “Copy and Counter”Each trader in a strategy runs in one of two modes:
- Copy takes the same side they called.
- Counter takes the opposite side.
Counter trades work exactly like copies in every other respect, including fees.
Every copy is isolated
Section titled “Every copy is isolated”A copy cannot cost you more than the margin you gave it. Positions are isolated, so one bad call cannot reach the rest of your account, and the exits are armed at entry rather than waiting on the caller to post a sell. Risk and custody has the detail.
When settings change
Section titled “When settings change”Changes apply to future trades. Editing a strategy never reaches back into a position that is already open. Adjust open positions in the terminal if you want them to match the new rules.
Turning a strategy off
Section titled “Turning a strategy off”Off stops new copies. It does not close open positions. To flatten, close them in the terminal.
