Trading Bot¶
v.3.1.0.0 Built on Strategy Core
Overview¶
Opens a position when any rule you set is met: the price inside a range, a time of day, or the price up or down by a percentage since the session began.
How it trades¶
- Price range: the close between two prices - a buy range and a sell range.
- Time: the bar closing within a minute after a set buy or sell time.
- Percent: the close up or down by a percentage from the session's first bar or the previous close - traded with the move (Follow) or against it (Fade).
- How many entries a window allows is the core's Subsessions trade limit.
Parameters¶
| Parameter | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Buy range from | 0 | A long when the close is between Buy range from and Buy range to. 0 = off. |
| Buy range to | 0 | The other end of the buy range. 0 = off. |
| Sell range from | 0 | A short when the close is between Sell range from and Sell range to. 0 = off. |
| Sell range to | 0 | The other end of the sell range. 0 = off. |
| Buy at a time | Off | A long on the bar closing within a minute after Buy time. How many entries a window allows: the subsessions' Max trades. |
| Buy time | 10:00 | The time of day for the long, in the chart's time zone. |
| Sell at a time | Off | A short on the bar closing within a minute after Sell time. How many entries a window allows: the subsessions' Max trades. |
| Sell time | 10:00 | The time of day for the short, in the chart's time zone. |
| Growth rule | Off | The close up by Growth % from the reference: a long (Follow) or a short (Fade). |
| Growth (%) | 0.5 | How far up from the reference, in percent. |
| Drop rule | Off | The close down by Drop % from the reference: a short (Follow) or a long (Fade). |
| Drop (%) | 0.5 | How far down from the reference, in percent. |
| Percent from | Session first bar | What Growth and Drop are measured from. Session first bar: its close. Prior close: the previous session's last close - the gap counts too. |
| Percent mode | Follow | Follow: trade with the move - up a long, down a short. Fade: against it - up a short, down a long, on the pullback. |
