Most trading ideas die untested. The thesis lives in your head — a crossover filtered by volume, a mean reversion entry gated on volatility, an exit ladder that scales out in thirds — and it stays there because the di...

- Quick StartThis page walks you through your first honest run of Axiom Strategy Lab Pro — from adding the script to your chart through the first checkpoint where you can confirm the engine is reading your rules the way you intend...
- Rules & RiskBefore you get lost in individual fields, understand the shape of the machine. Strategy Lab is not a pile of isolated conditions. It is a small state system:
- SettingsEvery number in the Properties and Inputs tabs shapes your results. Some shape them a lot. This page groups settings by how much they affect what the strategy tester reports, so you can focus your attention where it m...
- Default TokensEvery expression you write in the YAML references named values called tokens. The engine refreshes the entire token map on every bar before evaluating any of your expressions. When you write `PRICE_NOW > 50000`, the e...
- Expression ReferenceEvery condition in your YAML — every gate, trigger, activation, cancellation, and price calculation — is an expression. This page documents the complete expression language: what you can write, how it evaluates, and w...
- YAML ReferenceThis page documents the fields the Strategy Lab accepts in each YAML section, what each field does, and the shape of the strategy model those fields create.
- Teaching ExamplesThis page gives you four complete long-side strategy configurations, from simple to complex. They are not trade recommendations. They are bench tests you can paste, run, question, and take apart until the Strategy Lab...
- Backtesting & RealismThis page is about what the strategy tester actually does when it evaluates your rules — and where the gap between its simulation and real trading can mislead you. If you only read one page after the quick start, make...

- OptimizationOptimization in this context means changing your strategy's parameters — setup conditions, entry triggers, exit levels, allocation sizes, confirmation counts, cooldown bars — and observing how the results change. That...
- Operating ChecklistThis is a repeatable routine for building, testing, and iterating on strategies in Axiom Strategy Lab Pro. It is not a workflow for one specific kind of strategy — it is a discipline that applies to every strategy you...
- TroubleshootingWhen Strategy Lab refuses to trade, goes quiet, or produces something different than you expected, start with the boring evidence. The diagnostics table, state tokens, and position tokens usually tell the story before...
- For the GeeksThis page is for the moment when "the YAML looks right" is no longer enough. It explains the engine model underneath the fields: state machines, token registration, expression evaluation, order identity, OCA behavior,...
- Diagnostics & Error CodesStrategy Lab diagnostics are the messages the engine shows when it cannot safely run your YAML, or when it can run but wants you to notice something about the way a rule behaved.
