Link a live robot to its test, and read what tracking says about it.
Check the five quick causes first, then the three that cost money. An overfitted test, costs higher than tested, a market that changed.
Oathra asks one question of every closed trade, and waits until it has enough trades to judge. What the alarm means and when the first reading comes.
Live results rarely match a backtest. Wider costs, slippage, another price feed, and luck in the test. What matters is whether the gap stays in range.
It asks one question of every closed trade: is this robot losing money for longer than chance explains? It shows your live numbers beside the backtest's, each with its margin of error. It says nothing until it has enough trades to judge. It does not tell you the cause. It shows what changed and what to check first.
How does it know my robot has stopped working, and how fast?
Robots that open several positions as one basket, or close positions in pieces, read Can't judge. Oathra can still test their rules and log their trades.
MetaTrader has to be running, on your PC or on a VPS, for trades to reach Oathra. When it stops, tracking pauses and the strategy reads Account offline.
Logging each robot's trades is free. A robot is tracked when it is linked to a test of its rules. A reading needs a validated Forge test of its rules.
A robot that earns less than its backtest but still makes money gets no alarm. You see the gap between live and the backtest, and the call is yours. The alarm is for a robot that is losing.
20 trades and 14 days is when Oathra starts to speak, not when it alarms. It raises the alarm only on strong evidence: on a healthy strategy, about one false alarm in a hundred.
Five causes are common: live costs wider than the test, a result that was luck, a market that changed, a different data feed, and slippage. Check your costs first.
Too early means there are not enough trades yet, and Oathra will tell you when there are. Can't judge means trades that close in pieces or do not add up, so Oathra gives no number.
A losing stretch the backtest also had is normal. Oathra asks one question of every closed trade: is this robot losing money for longer than chance explains?
Oathra does not tell you what to do. Only you can decide whether to stand the robot down. Check your costs first.
A tester shows the promise. A tracker shows the result. Oathra checks one against the other and tells you when to worry.
You are told when the alarm is raised. The alarm goes by email.
