The most common case when you use CryptoTraderAuto is working with strategies. These can be predefined strategies (and not finished) created by me or strategies, created by you, based on predefined. Strategies window can be navigated through Strategies MenuItem from the main toolbar.

Strategies Menu Item

Here is the most common look of this window.

Strategies Collection

Strategies Collection window has the following toolbar.

Strategies Collection Toolbar

  • Add MenuItem allows you to add new strategy and configure its parameters.
  • Remove Selected MenuItem allows you to remove (unable to recover) selected strategies from strategies list.
  • Edit MenuItem allows you to edit the selected strategy's parameters. Please do not press this button when strategies Run in real-time.
  • Run! MenuItem runs strategies in real-time for trading. This is serious :). Please press this button when you sure about all the parameters and strategies configuration. This is your money :)
  • Stop MenuItem stops all strategies from execution (working). This is needed when you want, for example, to change the strategy's parameters.
  • Simulation MenuItem create for backtesting. After you configure strategy, you can test it on historical data and show/review strategy execution results. Really nice game :)
  • Optimize Params MenuItem allow you to run backtesting many times for strategy's specified parameters and find parameters for maximum profit. (under development)
  • Show Data MenuItem allows you to show collected data and events for the selected strategy. Shows automatically after simulation. Also, you can click this menu item even in 'Run' mode.
  • Show Log MenuItem shows strategy working log history.
  • Settings MenuItem shows Settings Window in which you can control Simulation parameters. Right now it contains only one parameter - Days count. This parameter affected on historical data. For example, if you specify 30 days, the application will download historical data for the latest 30 days (and then will update it once every day) for simulation.

Below the toolbar, you will find active collection list. Here is the common look. Strategies list

As you can see, each strategy in the list, besides obvious fields also has Enabled, Demo Mode and Notifications fields. You can change the values of these fields at any time, even in runtime. The Enabled field allows you to enable/disable strategy. If the strategy is disabled it will not work in real-time, so it will not loose or earn money for you :). Demo Mode allows strategy fully work at run-time and collect analyze data, however, it will simulate trading. This means that it will not make real trading on exchange but will behave as it does. :) The third field Notification will allow or disallow strategy to send a actions notification to your telegram app channel. For example, send a notification when it makes a trade or some signal on buy/sell appears.
