Maybe you stopped a strategy by mistake, or maybe you’re ready to give a successful one another run. Whatever your reason, restarting a strategy is simple with Capitalise.


How to restart a strategy

  • Go to My Strategies

  • Click on the Stopped tab to view all your inactive strategies 

  • Find the strategy you want to restart, then click on the menu icon

  • A dropdown menu will appear with two options:


Two options for restarting

1. Play

  • This option will immediately restart your strategy and move it back to your live strategies list.

  • The strategy will continue using the same conditions you set originally.

  • Note: The strategy’s P&L and history will remain visible on its page.

2. Clone

  • Cloning will copy the original strategy into the Strategy Creation Wizard.

  • From there, you can edit it or launch it as-is.

  • This will create a new and separate strategy.
    Your original one remains unchanged.


Why the Play button might be greyed out

Sometimes, you’ll find that the Play button is disabled.

This typically happens because:

  • The strategy was stopped while orders were still open

  • The asset is no longer available

  • There’s a technical issue

In these cases, the only way to restart the strategy is to clone it first and then click Play on the new version.
