Strategy insights & J-Trading flow playground
Welcome to Insights—JayBot’s learning space for the five built-in forex strategy templates. Each template ships as a read-only decision graph: the structure (nodes and edges) is fixed so everyone studies the same logic. What you can change are configuration fields inside nodes—thresholds, periods, spread limits, RSI levels, breakout buffers, and action intents where applicable.
What “J-Trading flow diagram” means here
The diagram is the same React Flow editor used under Strategy management, with one important difference on these pages: config-only mode. You can double-click tunable nodes to open a form (or JSON) editor, but you cannot add nodes, delete edges, or redraw topology. That constraint mirrors the product rule: system templates are curriculum, not scratch pads. When you are ready to invent new topologies, use Trading processes in Strategy management after Apply or Copy with name from a template.
How presets and versions work
A preset is a named bucket tied to a single template_id (for example trend_ma). Each time you Save version, JayBot stores:
- the merged
rules_json(template + your overrides), and - the overrides map (which node configs diverged from defaults).
Versions are numbered 1, 2, 3, … per preset. This is lightweight version control: you can reload an older version into the playground, tweak again, and save forward. It is not Git—you will not merge branches—but it is enough to recover from a bad experiment or compare what you ran last month.
Applying to your trading strategies
Apply writes a user-owned row into the strategies table—either create (new name) or update (existing strategy you own). The runtime engine reads your strategies when automation is enabled; it does not mutate the bundled template files. Metadata such as template_id and optional template_preset_version_id helps you trace where a row came from.
AI explanations and credits
When your draft differs from the canonical template defaults, a debounced call to OpenAI describes, in plain English, what your parameter changes would do behaviourally. These calls consume AI trading credits the same way as Explain flow in Strategy management. If the draft matches defaults, no model call is made. If credits are insufficient, you will see an error message—visit Buy credits to top up.
Where this sits next to Strategy management
In the nav, Insights is the classroom; Strategy management is the workshop. Sidebar labels Trading strategies (templates + your rows) and Trading processes (your editable flows) reflect how Mission Control is organised. Use Insights when you want guided learning; use Strategy management when you need full palette access, system flows, or JSON editing.
Pick a template
Open any of the five cards below this section on the hub page (or use the in-app links). Each article is long-form (1000+ words) so you can read offline or assign to teammates. Then scroll to the playground on that template’s page, change numbers, watch the AI delta panel update, save preset versions, and apply when you are ready.
