Does FIA automatically deploy or run the automation it creates?

Does FIA automatically deploy or run the automation it creates?

No. FIA builds the automation from the strategy you describe, but deployment is a separate step that you control.

Nothing runs unless you deploy it.

What happens after FIA builds my automation?

After FIA builds the workflow:

  1. Review the automation on the canvas.
  2. Confirm that the trigger, conditions, actions, quantities, timing, risk controls, and exits match your intended strategy.
  3. Validate the automation.
  4. Backtest it on historical data.
  5. Review the backtest.
  6. Decide whether you want to deploy it.

FIA creating or changing the workflow does not by itself deploy that strategy.

Why is deployment separate?

Deployment is the point at which you decide to use the automation on your FYERS account.

Keeping deployment separate means you can build, review, change, validate, and backtest the strategy before deciding whether it should run.

Is backtesting the same as deployment?

No.

Backtesting evaluates the strategy rules using historical market data.

Deployment runs the configured automation on your live FYERS account. Automate is not a simulated trading environment when deployed.

If the deployed workflow contains order actions, those actions can be reached when the configured triggers and conditions are satisfied.

Does a successful backtest guarantee the same result when deployed?

No.

Backtesting shows how the defined rules behaved on historical data. Historical results do not guarantee future trading results.

What If?

ScenarioWhat to do
What if I only want to build the automation now?You can keep working on the workflow without deploying it.
What if I change the strategy after backtesting?Backtest the revised version again before deciding whether to deploy it.
What if FIA builds a strategy but I find an incorrect quantity or exit?Correct the workflow before deployment and run validation and backtesting again.
What if I do not want the strategy to trade on my live account?Do not deploy it. Building and backtesting do not require you to proceed to live deployment.
