How to launch a strategy safely in the live terminal

A pre-launch checklist: keys, exchange, risk, leverage, stop, position size, and sync status.

Check connection and market mode

Before launch, confirm the correct API account, exchange, and futures market or broker instrument when broker support is available.

If keys were added recently, wait for balance, positions, and instruments to synchronize.

Risk must be clear before entry

Deposit size, stop risk, leverage, margin, and execution mode should be checked before launch. Do not compensate for a weak report with higher leverage.

Stops and take profits should be part of the plan, not a manual task after entry.

Monitor status after launch

Terminal shows positions, orders, trades, and sync. If exchange data is delayed, wait for confirmations before manual actions.

If a preset enters an error state, check exchange position and orders first, then decide whether to restart or stop.
