HX106 Live Readiness

HX106 is the final course gate before users trust a strategy or manual setup with real funds.

Lesson 1: License And Entitlements​

Do not copy third-party pricing or license claims into HyperionX docs. Entitlements can change by product build, provider, account type, and subscription.

Teach this rule:

  • Check the current HyperionX license/entitlement state in the app.
  • Confirm whether the provider is enabled for live routing.
  • Confirm whether the account is simulation, paper, testnet, or live.
  • Confirm whether AI actions are read-only, confirmation-gated, or auto-execute.

If the app cannot prove an entitlement, the workflow should stay simulation-only.

Lesson 2: Data Readiness​

A strategy is only as good as the data it used.

Before live use:

  • Confirm historical data range.
  • Confirm tick size and multiplier.
  • Confirm provider symbol mapping.
  • Confirm missing-data behavior.
  • Confirm imported data is not mislabeled.
  • Confirm time zone.
  • Confirm session hours or 24/7 market assumptions.

For imported historical data, use HyperionX's import and delete tools instead of hand-editing the data folders.

Lesson 3: Strategy Readiness​

Before a strategy is trusted:

  1. Compile without errors.
  2. Run on a chart in simulation.
  3. Run in validator on at least one instrument.
  4. Run across more than one date range.
  5. Include commission and slippage assumptions.
  6. Review long and short results separately.
  7. Confirm stop and target behavior.
  8. Confirm quantity/leverage behavior.
  9. Confirm disconnect and cancel behavior.
  10. Save the exact tested preset.

Lesson 4: Optimizer Readiness​

Optimizer results are candidates, not proof.

Required review:

  • In-sample performance.
  • Out-of-sample performance.
  • Total performance.
  • Trade count.
  • Max drawdown.
  • Nearby parameter stability.
  • Commission impact.
  • Slippage sensitivity.
  • Multiple periods.

Reject a parameter set when it only works on the optimized range.

Lesson 5: Validator Readiness​

Validator is used to answer portfolio-style questions:

  • Does one strategy work across several instruments?
  • Does one preset fail on certain symbols?
  • Are results dominated by one instrument?
  • Do long trades and short trades behave differently?
  • Is the aggregate result hiding a weak component?

Users should drill into individual instruments, not only the aggregate result.

Lesson 6: Manual Trading Readiness​

For Chart Trader:

  • Confirm account and connection.
  • Confirm instrument.
  • Confirm quantity.
  • Confirm leverage/margin mode where applicable.
  • Confirm order type.
  • Confirm stop and target distances.
  • Confirm OCO behavior.
  • Confirm order lines and banners update after fills.
  • Confirm positions survive timeframe changes and chart reloads.

Manual tools need the same validation as strategies.

Lesson 7: Operational Checklist​

Before live trading:

  • Save a workspace.
  • Restart and restore that workspace.
  • Confirm windows restore in expected positions.
  • Confirm logs are readable.
  • Confirm error popups follow theme and do not freeze the app.
  • Confirm disconnect/reconnect behavior.
  • Confirm support logs do not expose secrets.
  • Confirm emergency flatten/cancel workflow.

Live readiness is not one button. It is a repeatable process that proves the setup can survive normal trading mistakes, provider issues, and app restarts.
