Trading Settings

On the Trading Settings page in the web interface, you can add a new trading pair by clicking on the Add Pair button, provided that you have connected an exchange. You can also modify your trading strategy for a pair. Several tabs are available, including Buy Settings, Sell Settings, Balance Settings, Indicators & ATR Trailing, DCA, and Stop Loss.

Settings for Trading Strategies

Recommendations for Beginners

Focus on the following settings:

  • Buy Settings:

    • xEMA
    • Buy Level

  • Sell Settings:

    • % Profit Target

  • Balance Settings:

    • Buy Amount
    • DCA Buy Amount
    • Max DCAs Allowed

    Ensure effective balance management to prevent the necessity of a stop loss. We recommend at least 8-10 DCAs, even if it seems excessive.

    Tip

    Initially, use Simulated Trading or Backtesting to test the effectiveness of your strategy.

  • Indicators & ATR Trailing Settings:

    • ATR Trailing Buy/Sell Multiplier
    • Reverse

  • DCA Settings:

    • DCA when…
    • Minimum -x% of Last Buy to Allow DCA when…

    Note

    We recommend using DCA when BB.

  • Stop Loss Settings:

    • SL when Trade is -x%.
    • ATR Stop Loss Enabled

    Use stop loss only if you sometimes want to accept losses and/or have too few DCAs.

Important

When entering numbers, omit the - or + prefixes, as the system interprets the input automatically. For example, to set a stop loss at -20%, enter 20.
