Python SDK support
Write strategies in Python using our documented SDK. Submit via git push or direct upload. The platform sandboxes each script, so one strategy's error cannot affect another's execution.
Strategy Automation
Run your strategy 24/7 — exactly as you wrote it
Upload a script or build rules visually. The engine executes every signal without manual intervention, drift, or delay.
What strategy automation means at Coastal Collective
Strategy automation is the process of converting your written trading rules — entry conditions, exit triggers, position sizing formulas — into live, executable code that runs continuously on cloud infrastructure. At Coastal Collective you can bring your own Python script conforming to our SDK, or you can configure rules through the no-code visual builder without writing a single line. Either way, the engine listens for signal events, validates each order against your active risk controls, and routes the final instruction to the correct broker account. Execution latency on the platform is measured in milliseconds, not seconds, which matters when entries depend on price levels hitting a trigger in fast markets.
How the automation workflow runs step by step
You define the strategy once: signal source (internal computation, webhook, or third-party alert), position size logic, broker routing (which account receives the order), and exit conditions. The platform validates the configuration, runs a quick simulation against the last 30 trading days, and only activates the live engine once you confirm. From that point your strategy runs without your presence — entries fire, stop-losses trail, and profits are taken according to the rules you set. Every action is logged with a timestamp, order ID, and broker confirmation code, giving you a complete audit trail. You can pause, edit, or deactivate any strategy in under ten seconds from the dashboard.
What you get with strategy automation
Visual rule builder
Configure conditions, triggers, and sizing rules through a browser interface — no coding required. Logical operators, time filters, and multi-leg condition groups are all supported.
24/7 cloud execution
Your strategy runs on redundant EU cloud servers. No local machine required, no VPS to maintain. Uptime monitoring is built in and you receive an alert if the engine goes offline for any reason.
Full execution log
Every order attempt, fill, rejection, and cancellation is recorded with timestamps and broker response codes. Download logs per strategy, per account, or per date range at any time.
I had a momentum strategy sitting in a spreadsheet for two years. Getting it live on Coastal Collective took one afternoon. It's been running every trading day since October — I haven't touched the entry logic once.
