How RA-Trader works
RA-Trader turns StrategyHunter research artifacts into selectable trading basket presets, then runs those presets through a risk-controlled bot runtime.
What Is A Trading Basket Bot?
A trading basket bot runs a grouped set of tested strategy modules instead of relying on one indicator, one alert, or one discretionary trader. In RA-Trader, each published basket is connected to a crypto pair and a practical risk profile such as conservative, balanced, or aggressive.
This is why RA-Trader is different from a simple signal bot: the user is selecting tested basket presets and then monitoring the combined account behavior, not asking a chatbot to invent trades on demand.
1. StrategyHunter Searches For Candidates
StrategyHunter is the research engine. It searches strategy families across pairs and timeframes, evaluates out-of-sample behavior, and packages promising candidates into basket artifacts. RA-Trader does not treat every research candidate as production truth.
Recent research patterns favor curated context families, stricter drawdown filters, consistency windows, out-of-sample gates, and basket-level drawdown envelopes over broad strategy sprawl.
2. Basket Lab Packages Usable Presets
Successful strategies are assembled into shared-account basket packages. A basket can contain multiple strategy modules and is labeled into practical profiles such as conservative, balanced, and aggressive. The published catalog currently contains 43 baskets across 12 crypto pairs.
3. RA-Trader Imports Published Basket Truth
RA-Trader consumes the launch basket catalog and case-study data. The active user-facing control surface is Trading Pairs, where users select per-pair basket presets and risk settings. Case Studies explain the evidence behind the baskets.
4. Users Configure Exchange And Risk
Users connect an exchange, choose pairs, select a basket profile, and set risk controls. The intended first run is testnet, not immediate live trading. Risk controls include daily loss guard, leverage cap, maximum margin use, maximum concurrent positions, and maximum trades per day.
5. The Worker Runs Signals And Safeguards
The runtime worker reads selected basket settings, evaluates signals, validates runtime state, places entries and exits, tracks open positions, and enforces daily loss limits, trade caps, spread filters, collateral checks, protective exits, and opposite-signal flips.
6. Operators Monitor Results
RA-Trader exposes runtime status, charts, statistics, signals, case studies, and risk/safety checks. Truthful status is part of the product contract: missing proof is treated as missing proof, and runtime failures should be surfaced as failures rather than optimistic labels.
Beginner users can start with the plain-English RA-Trader introduction, then follow the setup guide for beginners and review basket drawdown and performance evidence.
Important Boundary
A research candidate is not automatically export-ready. An export-ready basket is not automatically live-trade worthy. A live-trade worthy setup still depends on execution realism, exchange behavior, current regime, and user risk settings.
