Your own bot, our tick-level optimizer<\/span><\/h2>\n

SharpTrader Optimizer no longer works only with BJF’s built-in strategies. Load your own trading bot for a forex broker or a crypto exchange and backtest it on real historical ticks, with your broker’s execution time in milliseconds, per-tick spread and multi-core parameter grids.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    What changed: your strategy, our optimizer<\/h2>\n

    The SharpTrader Optimizer<\/a> was built for arbitrage, where a strategy lives or dies on a few milliseconds and a fraction of a pip. Until now it could backtest and tune only the strategies BJF ships with SharpTrader: Latency Arbitrage, DominionForce, Phantom Drift, the Lock family and Hedge. The same properties matter for any automated strategy, from trend following and breakouts to mean reversion, session trading and scalping. So we opened the engine up.<\/p>\n

    Your bot exposes its inputs, you tick the ones to optimize and set min \/ step \/ max, and the Optimizer runs every combination and ranks the results by PnL, drawdown or your own score.<\/p>\n

    Where your bot lives: the SharpTrader bot editor<\/h2>\n

    SharpTrader bots are written in C# inside the built-in bot editor. A new bot starts from a template with event handlers: OnInit<\/code>, OnTick<\/code>, OnPositionOpened<\/code>, OnPositionClosed<\/code>, OnOrderStatusUpdate<\/code>. Indicators are available through a built-in API, for example indicators.iObv(0, Symbol, Period, 0)<\/code>. Build<\/strong> compiles the bot, and Import<\/strong> loads a ready bot file, such as one generated or converted by an external service.<\/p>\n

    The complete API reference is in the SharpTrader bot coding documentation<\/a>: the SharpTraderBot<\/code> namespace with the Bot<\/code> base class, Tick<\/code>, STOrder<\/code> and STPosition<\/code>, the event argument classes, the IIndicators<\/code> and ITicker<\/code> interfaces and all enumerations (order side, type and status, time frames, indicator modes).<\/p>\n

    Bots for crypto exchanges: same C# code, built-in WebSocket connectors<\/h2>\n

    A SharpTrader bot is not limited to forex brokers. SharpTrader has its own built-in connectors to 50+ crypto exchanges<\/strong>, including Binance and Bybit, and receives market data over fast WebSocket<\/strong> streams instead of slow REST polling. Your bot does not need to know anything about each exchange’s API: it receives ticks in OnTick<\/code> and sends orders through the same SharpTrader interface, while the connector handles authentication, order routing and every exchange-specific detail.<\/p>\n
