Concrete artifacts and a clear process — not vague promises about growth.
Onboarding begins with a strategy review session where a Healthfieldx technician maps your entry and exit rules into a parameter file. That file is loaded into the automation engine, backtested against historical data for your chosen instruments, and returned to you as a structured backtest report — a PDF and a JSON dataset — covering drawdown, win rate, average trade duration, and monthly return distribution. Once you approve the parameters, the bot is connected to your broker account via a secure API key, and live monitoring begins immediately. You retain full control: you can pause the bot, adjust risk parameters, or disconnect entirely at any point from the dashboard. Typical setup time from strategy review to live execution is five to seven business days.
Service Modules in Detail
Each module can be scoped independently or combined into a full automation package.
Strategy Automation
Your rules — entry signals, order type, trade size, and timing filters — are encoded into a configuration layer and connected to your live broker environment. The bot operates continuously during your chosen market hours, placing and managing orders according to the exact parameters you approved. No discretionary overrides occur on our side; every execution decision is governed entirely by your defined logic.
Backtesting Service
We run your strategy configuration against up to five years of historical tick data across supported instruments. You receive a backtesting report that includes equity curve charts, maximum consecutive losses, Sharpe ratio, Sortino ratio, and a per-month breakdown. The report is designed to expose weaknesses in your strategy before any real capital is committed — not to validate a specific return expectation.
Risk Controls Module
You define the risk envelope: maximum daily drawdown in KSh, maximum simultaneous open positions, per-trade stop-loss distance, and kill-switch conditions. The platform enforces these parameters at the execution layer — when a limit is breached, the bot pauses, all open positions are flagged, and you receive an alert via email and the dashboard. Resuming requires an explicit action from you, preventing automated over-trading after a losing sequence.
Broker Integration
Healthfieldx maintains tested connectors for a curated set of retail brokers accessible to Kenyan traders. Integration is handled by our team using a read-execute API key you generate; we never have withdrawal access. Order placement latency is sub-second on stable connections, and every fill is logged with timestamp, instrument, size, and price for your own records.
Monitoring Dashboard
The dashboard presents live bot status, current open positions, intraday P&L, and the full alert log in a clean indigo-on-dark interface. Widgets are configurable; you can pin the metrics most relevant to your strategy. The dashboard is accessible from any modern browser on desktop or mobile — no separate application download is required.
Common Questions Before You Start
Straightforward answers to the questions prospective clients ask most frequently.
Does the bot guarantee a profit?
No. Healthfieldx is an automation and risk-control tool — it executes the strategy you design and enforces the limits you set. Market conditions are outside our control, and no trading tool can guarantee financial outcomes. Results depend entirely on the quality and robustness of your underlying strategy.
Which brokers are currently supported?
We maintain active connectors for a curated list of brokers accessible to Kenyan retail traders. The current supported list is shared during the onboarding call. If your broker is not on the list, we can assess compatibility on a case-by-case basis — reach out via the contact form.
How long does setup take?
From the initial strategy review session to a live, broker-connected bot is typically five to seven business days. Complex multi-condition strategies or bespoke risk-rule configurations may extend this to ten business days. We confirm a timeline in writing before work begins.
Can I pause or stop the bot at any time?
Yes — the dashboard provides an immediate pause control that halts all new order activity. Open positions are not automatically closed when you pause; you manage them directly in your broker platform. A full disconnect severs the API link and stops all bot activity permanently until you re-initiate.
What happens if my internet connection drops?
The bot runs on Healthfieldx servers, not on your local machine. A disruption to your own internet connection has no effect on the bot's operation. You will simply be unable to view the dashboard until your connection is restored. The bot continues executing and logging during the outage.
“The risk controls module was the deciding factor for me. I had tried two other automation services before Healthfieldx and neither offered a hard daily drawdown limit that actually stopped the bot mid-session. Since going live in March, the kill-switch has fired on three separate occasions and prevented exactly the kind of runaway loss sequence that wiped a previous account.”
