How DipSkip Works
Understand the core concepts behind DipSkip's trading automation platform
What is DipSkip?
DipSkip is an intelligent strategy automation platform built on DipScript — a human-readable language for defining trading logic. Remove the complexity of traditional programming while maintaining full control over your trading decisions.
Write trading rules in clear, intuitive syntax
Line-by-line script interpretation
Direct connection with trading platforms
Complete Strategy Example
Here's a real-world momentum trading strategy in DipScript:
TICKER NVDA
// Define investment amount variable
SET $BAMOUNT = 75000
// Initial entry: buy if we have no position yet
IF $LAST_BUY_PRICE = NULL THEN OBTAIN USD $BAMOUNT @ $MARKET_PRICE
// Trailing stop: sell when profit drops 2% from peak
IF $PROFIT > 500 AND $PROFIT < $PEAK_PROFIT - 2% THEN SELL $ALL @ $MARKET_PRICE
// Re-entry: buy back when price rises 2.5% from bottom
IF $ALL = 0 AND $MARKET_PRICE > $LOWEST_PRICE + 2.5% THEN OBTAIN USD $BAMOUNT @ $MARKET_PRICE
This strategy uses USD-based position sizing, percentage-based trailing stops, and momentum re-entry logic—all in just 6 lines of readable code.
The 5 Core Commands
DipScript provides five fundamental commands that form the building blocks of any trading strategy. Simple, powerful, and easy to learn.
TICKER
Specify which stock to trade. Must be the first command in your script.
IF / THEN
Create conditional logic using variables, operators, and values.
OBTAIN
Reach a target position size—only buys what's needed.
SELL
Sell a quantity of shares at market price or a specified limit price.
EXIT
Immediately halt script execution. Useful for emergency exits or end conditions.
Automate Based on Live Market Conditions
DipSkip continuously evaluates your strategy against live market data. Set up triggers based on price movements, profit targets, volume changes, and more.
THEN SELL $ALL @ $MARKET_PRICE
Rules are reactive and fully customizable — you define the thresholds, DipSkip handles execution.
Line-by-Line Evaluation
DipSkip processes your script from top to bottom. Each line is evaluated independently for true/false logic. When conditions are met, corresponding actions execute through your brokerage API.
The engine fetches fresh broker data for every single line it evaluates — prices are never cached or reused. Illustrative example.
Work With Dynamic Variables
DipScript provides built-in variables that automatically track your trading performance, position data, and market conditions in real-time.
Profit & Performance
Position & Trading
Price Tracking
Trade History & Counting
Account
Stock Information
Time & Schedule
Daily Price Context
Broad Market
Volume
Trend Detection
Moving Averages
Rolling High/Low
Momentum & Volatility
Custom & Macro Variables
SET $DIP_DETECTED = $MARKET_PRICE < $PEAK_PRICE - 5%
// Use the macro in your logic
IF $DIP_DETECTED AND $ALL = 0 THEN OBTAIN USD 10000
Macro variables: Create reusable conditions like $HAS_CAPITAL or $DIP_DETECTED that expand and resolve automatically. Nested variables are resolved recursively up to 10 levels deep.
Monitor Strategy Performance
Get real-time visibility into script status, trade outcomes, and market conditions. Configure alerts for important events and stay informed about your automated strategies.
Profit targets, failed orders, threshold breaches
Real-time P&L, win rates, execution history
Position limits, drawdown protection, safety stops
Test Before You Trade
Every successful trader knows that strategy validation is critical. DipSkip's built-in backtester lets you simulate your trading logic against years of market data—identify weaknesses, optimize parameters, and build confidence before going live.
Test aggressive strategies, fine-tune profit targets, and experiment with different market conditions—all without risking a single dollar.
See exact win rates, total returns, and trade-by-trade breakdowns. Know your strategy's strengths and weaknesses before committing capital.
Adjust a variable, re-run the test, and see results instantly. Iterate through dozens of strategy variations in minutes instead of months.
Generate synthetic data or upload your own CSV files
Visualize price data with interactive charts
Analyze performance metrics and trade history
Upload CSV data from any source, or use the built-in generator with customizable volatility, trends, and target prices.
Backtests run the exact same DipScript logic as live trading. What you test is what you get.
Review every simulated trade with timestamps, prices, quantities, and profit/loss breakdowns.
Where DipSkip Fits
DipSkip is not a broker. It's an automation layer that sits between you and your Tradier account. Your money, positions, and orders all live at Tradier — a regulated, API-first broker. DipSkip connects to Tradier's platform via their API to automatically execute the buy and sell orders specified in your scripts.
To use DipSkip, you'll need a Tradier account. Sign up at tradier.com to get started.
You
Write DipScript strategies, set rules, monitor performance
DipSkip
Automation layer — evaluates your scripts, monitors market data, and sends trade instructions to your broker
Tradier (Your Broker)
Holds your funds, executes orders on the stock market, provides account & market data
DipSkip never holds your funds. All capital remains in your Tradier account.
DipSkip connects via Tradier's official OAuth API. Your Tradier credentials are never shared with DipSkip.
DipSkip sends order instructions through the API. Tradier handles the actual execution on the market.
