On this page, you can add a new trading pair by clicking on “Add Pair,” provided that you have connected an exchange.
You can also modify your trading strategy for a pair. There are several tabs available, including Buy settings, Sell settings, Balance settings, Indicators & ATR Trailing, DCA, and Stop loss.
Settings for Trading strategies:
Use the tabs (Buy settings, Sell settings, Balance settings, Indicators & ATR Trailing, DCA, Stop loss) to configure your strategy for a trading pair.
You don’t have to remember all these things. Here is a list of what trading settings are currently available. If you are a beginner, we would advise you to change only the default settings and not make your own strategy entirely.
If you don’t know anything about the nuxBot trading logic, we would recommend reading that first.
As a beginner we would recommend you to focus on these settings:
- Buy settings: xEMA, Buy Level
- Sell settings: % Profit Target
- Balance settings: Buy amount, DCA Buy amount, Max DCAs allowed
(We mean that you should take care of balance management so that a stop loss never has to happen. We would say at least 8-10 DCAs, even if that sounds a lot.)
Tip: At the beginning you can use Simulated Trading to test whether your strategy works well. - Indicators & ATR Trailing settings: ATR Trailing buy/sell multiplier, reverse
- DCA settings: DCA when…, Minimum -x% of last buy to allow DCA when…
- Our devs like “DCA when BB” more.
- Stop loss settings: SL when Trade is -x%
(Only if you sometimes want to accept losses and/or have too few DCAs.)
Important: Do not put “-” or “+” in front of any of the numbers, the bot will do it itself. Example: In the case of a stop loss, only the number should be entered, e.g. “20”. The bot then perceives this as “-20%”.
Buy settings:
- Buy enabled: Enable or disable the buy order.
- xEMA (Number): The number of candles used to calculate EMA.
- Buy Level (Number/Decimal): Percentage below the lowest EMA to allow buy orders.
- Block buy orders on this pair if other pairs already bought: This feature prevents the placement of buy orders on the currently selected trading pair if buy orders have already been placed on other trading pairs, regardless of the exchange on which the orders were placed.
- Block buy orders on this pair only on same exchange: This feature prevents the placement of buy orders on the currently selected trading pair if buy orders have already been placed on other trading pairs on the same exchange.
- This setting only works if the “Block buy orders on this pair if other pairs already bought” setting is activated.
- Leverage Token: Alternative Coin Selection (BETA)
What does this feature do?
This feature allows you to specify a leveraged token pair that will then be traded. The indicator & profit calculations are still based on the main pair selected when adding the pair. This is good if you have a good strategy for e.g. BTC/USDT and then want to trade BTC3L/USDT for leverage without having to make a new strategy for BTC3L/USDT.- Leverage Token enabled: If enabled, the Alternative Token/Leveraged Token will be traded but the indicator and profit calculations will be based on the normally added pair.
- Leverage Token: Enter the alternative pair/leverage token pair here that should be traded.
- Leverage of the token: Enter the leverage of the token pair here. For example: For BTC3L/USDT, the leverage is 3.
Sell settings:
- Sell enabled: Enable or disable the sell order.
- % Profit Target (Number/Decimal): The profit percentage to target before selling.
- Disable Buy after Sell/SL: If enabled, “Buy enabled” will be disabled for the pair after a Sell/SL.
