PredictDesk docs
See how PredictDesk connects discovery, diagnostics, backtests, monitoring, and external handoff into one research workflow for serious traders.
How the PredictDesk workflow fits together
The workflow in one view
The PredictDesk workflow is easiest to understand as a sequence of connected jobs rather than a list of features.
A serious trader usually has to do five things:
1. define the setup worth investigating 2. surface setups that fit the job 3. pressure-test those setups with diagnostics and historical context 4. preserve the reasoning behind the decision 5. monitor the setup with context and send signals to external tools while order placement remains outside PredictDesk
PredictDesk is trying to make those jobs belong to one desk-shaped workflow.
Define the job
The workflow starts before any ranking appears.
The first job is to define what kind of setup you are actually looking for: the market context, the structure, the timeframe, the relevant guardrails, and whether the expression is more naturally a stock position or an options structure.
That matters because bad workflow usually starts with vague discovery. PredictDesk is stronger when it begins with a clearer research brief.
Surface setups worth review
Once the job is clear, the next stage is setup discovery.
This is where Strategy Lab helps narrow the field, surface setup ideas worth serious review, and make it easier to compare them against the shape of the setup you actually care about.
Pressure-test the setups
Discovery is not enough.
A setup becomes interesting only when the product can show why it qualified, what tradeoffs matter, what almost qualified, and how historical context should be read. That is where diagnostics and backtests matter.
This stage is where the workflow should shift from "interesting idea" to "serious review."
Preserve the reasoning
The workflow should not go dark after the initial research pass.
If a setup deserves to move forward, the logic behind that decision should stay attached to the setup. The goal is not to make the trader recreate the logic from scratch downstream.
Preserving reasoning is the difference between a desk workflow and a pile of isolated tools.
Monitor with context
Monitoring matters because the decision process does not end after selection.
The point here is not "PredictDesk executes trades for you." The point is that the workflow can keep context visible as the setup evolves and as monitoring, signals, or external handoff become relevant.
PredictDesk can send signals to external tools and routes you already use. Order placement, fills, positions, and P&L stay with your external execution platform and broker workflow.
Why continuity matters
The workflow matters because it keeps the logic behind a trade attached to the trade itself. Setup discovery, diagnostics, backtests, monitoring context, and signal handoff are more useful when they belong to one desk instead of five disconnected tools.
What to read next
Read the Strategy Lab article next if you want to see how setup discovery works in practice, then read the diagnostics and backtests article if you want to understand how to interpret the outputs responsibly.
PredictDesk connects discovery, diagnostics, backtests, monitoring context, and signal handoff into one workflow. That does not make it the broker. Not a broker. Not investment advice. Backtests and scenario results are hypothetical. Options involve significant risk.
