MangoLabs Documentation
Build, backtest, and deploy trading strategies visually. No coding required.
Welcome#
Welcome to MangoLabs, the visual quantitative trading platform that makes algorithmic trading accessible to everyone. Whether you're a seasoned quant trader or just getting started, MangoLabs provides all the tools you need to build, test, and deploy trading strategies.
This documentation will guide you through every feature of the platform, from creating your first technical indicator to deploying live strategies with paper trading.
What is MangoLabs?#
MangoLabs is a complete platform for quantitative trading that replaces coding with visual node-based strategy building. Instead of writing Python or JavaScript code, you drag and drop nodes on a canvas to define your trading logic.
The platform handles all the complex infrastructure: data collection, feature calculation, backtesting, and live execution. You focus on the strategy logic.
Key Features#
Shared Features Library
Access a library of technical indicators (RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands) already calculated and ready to use. Create new ones and they become available to everyone.
Visual Strategy Builder
Drag and drop nodes to build complex trading strategies. See your logic visually, no code required.
Backtesting Engine
Test your strategies on years of historical data. Get detailed metrics, equity curves, and trade analysis.
Paper Trading
Deploy strategies with virtual money. Trade in real-time without risk, perfect for testing before going live.
How It Works#
Build Your Strategy
Use the visual canvas to drag and drop nodes. Start with a Data Source node (BTCUSDT), add indicators like RSI or MACD (already available!), create conditions, and define buy/sell signals. No coding required.
Backtest
Test your strategy on historical Bitcoin data. Click the backtest button, wait 30-60 seconds, and analyze performance metrics like Sharpe ratio, win rate, and maximum drawdown. Iterate until you're satisfied.
Deploy (Optional)
Once you're happy with backtest results, deploy your strategy to paper trading. Create a virtual account with fake money and watch it trade in real-time with live market data. Zero risk, maximum learning.
Advanced: Features & Super-Nodes
As you advance, explore the Feature Library to view or create custom indicators. Features are shared globally - when you create one, everyone benefits! Super-Nodes let you encapsulate complex calculations for your own strategies. A few public Super-Nodes (like "Size 1000" and "PNL calculators") are available to everyone.
