Using Drag-and-Drop Interface
The PolyOrbit Visual Builder is designed to simplify the creation of complex trading algorithms. Instead of writing code, users interact with a spatial canvas where logic flows from left to right. This guide explains the fundamental mechanics of the interface.
The Workspace Layout
The builder is divided into three main sections.
The Palette (Left Panel): This contains all available Node types (Source, Condition, Action).
The Canvas (Center): This is the infinite workspace where you construct your Chain.
The Properties Panel (Right Panel): This appears when a specific node is selected, allowing for detailed configuration.
Adding Nodes
To begin building, you must move nodes from the Palette to the Canvas.
Action: Click and hold on a node type in the left panel.
Drop: Drag it into the central workspace and release the mouse button.
Arrangement: You can click and drag nodes around the canvas to organize your workflow visually.
Connecting Nodes
Nodes communicate with each other through "Connectors" or "Ports."
Output Port: Located on the right side of a node. It represents the data flowing out.
Input Port: Located on the left side of a node. It represents the data flowing in.
To create a link:
Hover over the Output Port of the first node (e.g., a Source Node).
Click and drag the cursor to the Input Port of the second node (e.g., a Condition Node).
Release the mouse button. A solid line will appear, indicating that the data flow is established.
Deleting and Editing
Delete a Link: Hover over the connecting line until it turns red, then right-click and select "Delete Connection."
Delete a Node: Select the node and press the "Delete" or "Backspace" key on your keyboard.
