Check Strategy State

Verify the strategy is in Active state, not Paused or Draft. Navigate to the Deployments page and confirm the status indicator shows green/active.

Insufficient Balance

If your exchange balance is below the minimum required for the configured position size, the strategy cannot execute trades. Check your available balance on the Portfolio page and ensure it meets the strategy's allocation requirement.

Strategy Conditions Not Met

The strategy only trades when the strategy's entry conditions are met. In quiet or sideways markets, a momentum strategy may not generate any signals. Review the strategy's activity log to see if it is receiving market data and evaluating conditions normally.

Risk Limits Reached

If a strategy has hit its daily trade limit, maximum drawdown, or position size limit, it will pause until the next period or until you reset the limits. Check the strategy's risk controls panel for any triggered limits.
