This is a full list of all strategies that WolfBot supports.
Configuration options which are present in many or all strategies:
- order:The order to execute. Can be: buy|sell|closeLong|closeShort. The strategy will automatically update the order according to your open position. In other words, closeLong equals closeShort and buy equals sell for stop-loss and take profit strategies.
- priceTolerancePercent:optional, default 0.0 (use last trade price) - The max percent higher/lower the limit price shall be compared to the last trade price. This gives you the advantage of a market order - getting your order filled immediately the best available price - with the safety of a maximum price in case the orderbook is very thin.
- pair:Enter the currency pair you want to trade with this strategy. For example: USD_BTC, BTC_ETC,...
- candleSize:The candle size in minutes this strategy will use for technical analysis and other indicators that depend on candles.
- tradeStrategy:The name of the strategy to execute buy/sell orders. Useful to only buy/sell based on 2nd strategy data (for example forwarding the buy order from a strategy with 12h candles to a RSI strategy with 15min candles to execute the trade on RSI oversold...). This strategy must be added to your config too.
- orderStrategy:More advanced alternative to the 'tradeStrategy' setting. If used, this strategy will pass a TriggerOrderCommand to the 'orderStrategy' (instead of just reacting to the buy/sell signal). See the docs of TriggerOrderCommand and the TriggerOrder strategy for details. This strategy must be added to your config too.
- fallback:Enable this to use this strategy as a fallback strategy only. This means that it will only execute buy/sell orders if there is already an open position. Closing existing position will be completely disabled (i.e. done by the main strategy).
- enableLog:Print all strategy actions to the log of the bot.
- percentDecrease:Decrease the minimum interest rate of your loans by this percentage every hour if not all of your funds have been taken as loans.
- currency:Enter the currency (USD, BTC, ETH,...) of which you want to place loans.
- tradingFees:Set the maker/taker trading fees for the exchanges you want to do arbitrage on. This information is used by WolfBot before executing arbitrage trades to ensure that the arbitrage opportunity is profitable.
- tradingFeeDefault:The default trading fee to use if the exchange is not listed in the 'tradingFees' setting.
- N:optional, default 20 - The time period for MA of BollingerBands.
- K:optional, default 2 - The factor for upper/lower band of BollingerBands.
- MAType:optional, default 0 (SMA) - The moving average type of BollingerBands.
All MA types:
0=SMA, 1=EMA, 2=WMA, 3=DEMA, 4=TEMA, 5=TRIMA, 6=KAMA, 7=MAMA, 8=T3 - notifyBeforeStopSec:optional, default 0 - Send a notification (for example to the smartphone) x seconds before the stop executes. A value of 0 means disabled.
- time:optional, default 0 seconds - After the stop price is reached start a countdown of x seconds before closing the position. The countdown gets reset if the price moves above the stop price before the counter reaches 0 seconds.
- limitClose:optional, default false - If enabled the trailing stop will be placed as a limit order at the last trade price (or above/below if makerMode is enabled). Otherwise the position will be closed with a market order.
- makerMode:optional, default false. Whether to adjust all order rates below/above bid ask rates to ensure we only pay the lower (maker) fee.
- forceMaker:optional, default false - Only place a maker order (not paying the higher taker fee). Order will get adjusted in case the price moves away from it.
- flipPosition:Flip (reverse) a position on each trading signal. This means a buy signal will close an existing short position first (if any) and then open a long position with the amount specified in the signal (and vice versa for sell signals).
When this setting is disabled (default) it will just buy the amount specified in the signal which might mean there is still a net short position after buying.
This setting is mostly useful with TradingView signals. Most strategies will rather just do a close signal followed by a buy/sell. - thresholds:
- up:The minimum difference in percent EMA/SMA crossover strategies must have between the long and short line to make a buy trade.
- down:The minimum difference in percent EMA/SMA crossover strategies must have between the long and short line to make a sell trade.
- persistence:The minimum number of candle ticks the up/down threshold must be crossed to open a trade. This value starts at 1 which means immediately.
- sidewaysPercent:The bot assumes the market goes sideways if the percentage in price change between the current candle and 'long' number of candles back is less than this value. Some strategies will not trade in sideways markets, while others will only trade in sideways markets.
Strategy specific configuration options for all trading strategies:
- NOOP:
- This strategy does nothing. It is just a sample and placeholder.
- sample:Change the 'sample' strategy property.
- NotificationTest:
- This strategy sends a notification every minute. Use this to test your (smartphone) notification setup.
It does not perform any trades. - message:The text included in your notification.
- This strategy sends a notification every minute. Use this to test your (smartphone) notification setup.
- PlanRunner:
- Strategy that emits buy/sell signal based on your configured steps in config. Steps to take action are price points, support and resistance lines,... What makes this strategy powerful is the ability to combine it with any other strategy (including technical indicators). So you can for example configure it to: 'Buy if BitCoin price falls below 6.000 USD and the 1h RSI is below 30 (and the 2h MACD momentum is increasing and...)'
- orders:

Indicator config has to be added separately just like any other strategy (any strategy that emits buy/sell signals can be used). Only checked once if the signal from ALL specified indicators matches (on the last tick before execution).
- waitRepeatingTradeMin:optional, default 600 min. Wait x minutes before executing the same order again (in case the market moves rapidly).
- PositionReopener:
- A strategy that re-open a previously closed position (closed by WolfBot or manually) after price moves again a certain percentage in the direction of your previous position (from the close price).
This is helpful if you have a strong bias in one direction but also want to trade cautious at a support/resistance line and always place a stop.
This strategy should run on a low candle size (1min) to react quickly.
You can use this strategy with manual stops too. It will re-open positions that have not been closed by WolfBot. - reOpenRateFactorLong:optional, default 1.0 - The rate that must be reached (higher than previous closing rate) to re-open a previously closed long position. The current market rate will be multiplied by this. Values above 1.0 mean a higher rate, below 1.0 mean a lower rate.
- reOpenRateFactorShort:optional, default 1.0 - The rate that must be reached (lower than previous closing rate) to re-open a previously closed short position. The current market rate will be multiplied by this. Values above 1.0 mean a higher rate, below 1.0 mean a lower rate.

- makerMode:optional, default false. Whether to adjust all order rates below/above bid ask rates to ensure we only pay the lower (maker) fee.
- A strategy that re-open a previously closed position (closed by WolfBot or manually) after price moves again a certain percentage in the direction of your previous position (from the close price).
- BitmexSwagger:
- Strategy looks at the BitMEX leaderboard and publicly posted positions (in shoutbox) and goes with the trend of the last 24 hours. It will wait for the chosen indicator high/low to join the direction of the majority of traders.
This strategy works very well for daytrading with candle sizes from 30min to 2h.
This strategy will only positions. You should combine it with a stop-loss and/or take profit strategy.
You can run this strategy on any exchange with any currency pair (that you think behaves similar to XBTUSD on BitMEX). - goLongPercentage:optional, default 65% - The minimum percentage of leaders and shoutbox traders that must go long to open a long position with them.
You can use values below 50% to trade with the minority of the last 24 hours. - goShortPercentage:optional, default 65% - The minimum percentage of leaders and shoutbox traders that must go short to open a short position with them.

- Strategy looks at the BitMEX leaderboard and publicly posted positions (in shoutbox) and goes with the trend of the last 24 hours. It will wait for the chosen indicator high/low to join the direction of the majority of traders.
- BollingerBands:
- Strategy that emits buy/sell based on the Bollinger Bands indicator. Our assumption is that the price will always jump between the upper and lower band (as in a sideways market). Consequently, at the upper we sell and at the lower band we buy. If the price stays at the upper/lower band for 'breakout' candles, we assume this breakout will continue.
- breakout:optional, default 0 - The number of candles the price has to stay at the upper/lower band to assume a breakout.
- percentBThreshold:optional, default 0.01 - A number indicating how close to %b the price has to be to consider it 'reached'.
- BollingerBouncer:
- Strategy that sells on the upper Bollinger Band and buys on the lower band. Our assumption is that the price will always jump between the upper and lower band (as in a sideways market). This strategy only trades within the value area of the volume profile, which is when price is within the range where 70% of trades take place using default settings. Additionally the current candle volume must be 'minVolumeSpike' above average (SMA) of the latest 'interval' candles. This strategy waits with the market entry until 'waitEntrySec' has passed and keeps track of the last buy/sell prices to ensure it doesn't trade a a loss in prolonged sideways markets.
See PingPong strategy for a simpler version which doesn't keep track of the last buy/sell prices. - interval:optional, default 48. The number of candles to compute the volume profile and average volume from.
- volumeRows:optional default 24. The number of equally-sized price zones the price range is divided into.
- valueAreaPercent:optional, default 70%. The percentage of the total volume that shall make up the value area, meaning the price range where x% of the trades happen.
- waitEntrySec:optional, default 300. How many seconds price has to stay at or outside the Bollinger Bands before opening a trade.
- clearTradeTicks:optional, default 8. After how many candles a previous buy/sell trade shall be removed, allowing to trade at a possibly worse price again.
- stopBand:optional, default middle. At which Bollinger Band this strategy starts placing a trailing stop.
- minVolumeSpike:optional, default 1.1. The min volume compared to the average volume of the last 'interval' candles to open a position.
- percentBThreshold:optional, default 0.01 - A number indicating how close to %b the price has to be to consider it 'reached'.
- trailingStopPerc:optional, default 0.05% ( 0 = disabled) - The trailing stop percentage that will be placed after the opposite Bollinger Band has been reached.
- pauseTicksOnLoss:optional, default 12. Pause trading for x candles after a position is closed with a loss.
- Strategy that sells on the upper Bollinger Band and buys on the lower band. Our assumption is that the price will always jump between the upper and lower band (as in a sideways market). This strategy only trades within the value area of the volume profile, which is when price is within the range where 70% of trades take place using default settings. Additionally the current candle volume must be 'minVolumeSpike' above average (SMA) of the latest 'interval' candles. This strategy waits with the market entry until 'waitEntrySec' has passed and keeps track of the last buy/sell prices to ensure it doesn't trade a a loss in prolonged sideways markets.
- BollingerBreakouts:
- Strategy that emits buy/sell based on the Bollinger Bands indicator. Our assumption is that the price will always jump between the upper and lower band (as in a sideways market). Consequently, at the upper we sell and at the lower band we buy. If the price stays at the upper/lower band for 'breakout' candles, we assume this breakout will continue. Additionally we use the Aroon indicator to assume a breakout if up/down is at 100. In that case we wait (don't trade based on Bollinger) and trade based on Aroon if it stays at 100 for 'breakout' candles.
- breakout:optional, default 0 - The number of candles the price has to stay at the upper/lower band to assume a breakout.

- aroonLow:optional, default 50 - The value 'Aroon Down' must have to be considered low.
- BollingerDayTrader:
- Strategy that looks at MACD histogram (or EMA) to check if we are in an up or down trend. It will then open a position when we cross the Bollinger middle line and keep it open until we cross the middle line again (or the opposite line as a more risky stop). If we are in a sideways market: It uses Aroon and requires both <= 50 and trade between upper and lower band. Works well with 1 hour candles. Should still be used with StopLossTurn because we might never reach the closing band (unlikely). warm up time: >= 35 candles (default parameters), more Bollinger strategies: https://tradingsim.com/blog/bollinger-bands/
- percentReached:optional, default 0.05 - A number indicating how close to %b the price has to be to consider it 'reached'.

- BollingerStop:
- A stop strategy that closes a position if we reach the opposite (or middle) line of Bollinger for a specified amount of time. Works well with 1 hour candles.
- percentReached:optional, default 0.05 - A number indicating how close to %b the price has to be to consider it 'reached'.

- keepPriceOpen:optional, default true - Keep the position open if the last candle close-value price was higher/lower than the current rate. This means if we are outside of the Bollinger Bands stop, but the last candle was moving in the same direction as our open position.
- CCI:
- Strategy that emits buy/sell based on the CCI indicator. We go long on CCI high and short on CCI low. Optionally you can provide CCI values to where to close the long/short position (default 0). CCI measures the current price level relative to the average price level over a given time interval. It's an unbound indicator, meaning low and high have no limits (unlike RSI).
- low:optional, default -100 - Open a short position after CCI goes below this value.
- high:optional, default 100 - Open a long position after CCI goes above this value.
- closePosition:optional, default false - Close a position when reaching closeShort or closeLong values.

The reversal mode works better with larger candles (>1h). Values: trend|reversal
- CandleRepeater:
- Strategy that assumes the candle of the previous day will repeat itself on the next day (trends tend to continue). Works best with large candle sizes such as 24h (1440 min) or 12h (720 min). This strategy needs StopLoss and/or TakeProfit strategies to close positions. Similar to SimpleAndShort and DayTrendFollower strategy.

- Strategy that looks at the daily trend of the market (trends tend to continue). It then trades on a small candle size (30 min) in that market. Opens multiple positions daily. Developed for fast moving markets (XRP and medium cap coins), but works extremely well in low volatility markets with 2% daily change (LTC). This strategy needs StopLoss and/or TakeProfit strategies to close positions (closeLossCandles can be StopLoss). Similar to CandleRepeater and SimpleAndShort strategy.
- entryMode:Enter the market after setback % or by candlestick patterns.
- entrySetbackPercent:The percentage the last candle has to go against the daily trend to find a good entry point. Can be 0 to use dynamic setback: >= historyCandles average movement

If tradeDirection is set accordingly, it will then trade either breakouts or reversals (depending on the 'mode' setting). It also counts bullish/bearish candlestick patterns and can notify you about them.
- tradeDirection:optional, default both - In which direction shall this strategy trade. 'watch' means it only computes (indicator) values. Values: both|up|down|watch

- Conversion Line moves below Base Line (momentum)
This strategy only opens positions. You need a stop-loss and/or take profit strategy. - conversionPeriod:
- basePeriod:
- spanPeriod:
- displacement:
- Strategy that buys and sells depending on signals from the Ichimoku Clouds indicator. This indicator is mostly used to show support and resistance as well as the trend direction.
- MFI:
- Strategy that emits buy/sell based on the MFI indicator. MFI is an oscillator that contains both price and volume. You can think of it as RSI with volume.
- low:Below this value MFI will be considered oversold. The strategy will queue a buy order to be executed after 'trendCandles' going up.
- high:Above this value MFI will be considered overbought. The strategy will queue a sell order to be executed after 'trendCandles' going down.
- interval:The number of candles to use for MFI computation.

- OBV:
- Strategy that emits buy/sell based on the OBV indicator. We look if OBV makes new highs/lows on price highs/lows. Then we assume the trend to continue (breakout). Otherwise we open a position in the opposite direction. This strategy only opens positions. You need a stop-loss and/or take profit strategy.
- interval:optional, default 14 - Use 0 for unlimited (since bot is collecting candles).
- openReversal:optional, default true - Open a position in the opposite direction if price fails to make a new high/low on OBV max.

- order:The type of the order. Values: buy|sell
- stop:The trigger (and price) at which to place the order.
- comp:optional, default buy <, sell > - Does the price have to be higher or lower than the stop? 'pass' means the price has to pass this threshold. Values <|>|pass
- forceMaker:optional, default false - Only place a maker order (not paying the higher taker fee). Order will get adjusted in case the price moves away from it.
- OrderBookPressure:
- A strategy that watches the order book to see how much money is needed to rise/lower the price by x percent. Then it assumes the market will move in the 'cheaper' direction and trades accordingly. Works well on highly leveraged markets such as OKEX futures. Exchanges have to be fast (responsive), so Bitfinex is also a good candidate even though they allow hidden orders (hidden from order book).
- ticks:For how many candle ticks the pressure has to persist to open a position.
- percentChange:How many percent shall the price be changed by orders?
- minDiffPercent:Open a position if the cost to rise/lower the price by 'percentChange' differs this much. 450 is a good number for strong USD_BTC pressure, otherwise 80 - depending on percentChange

You can open trades once this ratio crosses a certain threshold. Signal is to weak to be used alone, should be used together with other strategies (such as MACD or RSI).
- tradeCount:The number of trades sorted by amount we want to display.

- PatternRepeater:
- A strategy that tries to identify patterns of x candles in size (patternSize) that repeat at least patternRepeat times. Then assumes this pattern will repeat x times, adjust price levels and trade accordingly. Backfinder is a good tool to find the good candle size of patterns. This strategy can not be done with a stop because a buy stop triggers at increasing price (and sell at decreasing). Works well with high volume coins (ETH, LTC,..) but can fail badly with small coins because they have irregular spikes quite often.
- patternSize:The size in candles the pattern shall have.
- patternRepeat:The number of times the % changes of the candles have to repeat before we consider it a pattern.
- maxOffset:optional, default 1 - How many candles the highs/lows can be different in reptetitions to still be considered a pattern.

- PingPong:
- Strategy that sells on the upper Bollinger Band and buys on the lower band. Our assumption is that the price will always jump between the upper and lower band (as in a sideways market). This strategy only trades within the value area of the volume profile, which is when price is within the range where 70% of trades take place using default settings. Additionally the current candle volume must be 'minVolumeSpike' above average (SMA) of the latest 'interval' candles.

This strategy works very well for daytrading with candle sizes from 30min to 4h.
This strategy will open and close existing positions, but you can still combine it with a stop-loss and/or take profit strategy. - type:optional, default 'standard' - The Pivot Points calculation method you want to use. Values: standard|fibonacci|demark

Simply put: This strategy goes with the current trend of the market by looking a configurable amount of candles back and forth in time from price highs/lows.
This strategy works very well for daytrading with candle sizes from 30min to 2h.
This strategy will open position and trade against an open position (possible reverse the direction), but never close a position completely. You can combine it with a stop-loss and/or take profit strategy. - leftlen:optional, default 14. The number of candles a high/low must hold going back in time.

- PriceRangeTrader:
- Detect if a price always jumps between a high a low and buy/sell accordingly. Works well in sideways markets (that usually have low volume). It is meant for fast trades, possibly many trades per hour if there are changes >= 'minChangePercent'.

It should be used with a small candle size such as 3-15min and a 'spikePercent' according to your coin's price changes. You should look at the chart and set the 'spikePercent' value high enough so that this strategy only triggers about once a week for your coin. This is to avoid false positives and jump on late spikes too late.
- spikePercent:As x% price difference (positive value higher, negative value lower) as the last candle.
- endOfSpike:optional, default false - true = wait until the spike reverses, false = buy/sell immediately with the spike
- historyCandle:optional, default 36 - How many candles to look back to compare if price really is a spike. Set to 0 to disable it.

You should ensure that your signal messages include the words 'buy', 'sell' and 'close' to instruct WolfBot (using default settings, can be configured).
You can optionally specify a rate for a limit order in your TradingView alert message. To do this, you must include the text limit= - so a full alert could look like this: "some text, buy, limit=3500.5". To use market orders, write market=1 in your alert. Otherwise the rate of the last trade will be used. You can also specify a different trading amount by writing adding amount=123 to your message (in base currency, USD,...).
Use pl=500 to enter a minimum profit condition in your close signal (in base currency such as USD).
To use a custom limit, this strategy must trade directly, meaning 'tradeStrategy' must not be set. Otherwise the tradeStrategy decides the limit price once its indicator(s) match the desired trade direction.

A buy signal occurs when short EMA > long EMA, ADX and MACD histogram are trending up.
A sell signal occurs when short EMA < long EMA, ADX and MACD histogram are going down.

- VolumeProfiler:
- Strategy that waits for price to hit a high volume spot on the volume profile. Depending on 'tradeMode' it will then either:
- breakout: Wait until the price is at the end of this volume profile bar and then open a position with the current trend. This works well for opening positions for longer timeframes (multiple days to weeks).
- resistance: Immediately forward an order against the trend. You should have a 'tradeStrategy' such as 'RSIScalpOrderer' set on a smaller candleSize to delay the order execution until the trend slows down.
- both: Trade on breakout and resistance depending on where the current price is within the corresponding volume profile bar.
This strategy only opens positions. You need a stop-loss and/or take profit strategy. - interval:optional, default 48. The number of candles to compute the volume profile and average volume from.

- Strategy that waits for price to hit a high volume spot on the volume profile. Depending on 'tradeMode' it will then either:
- VolumeSpikeDetector:
- Detect if there is a spike in the trade volume of a coin. This usually means a sharp spike/drop is happening (especially for smaller Altcoins). This strategy works great at detecting fast pumps in a coin. It should be used with a small candle size such as 3-15min and a 'spikeFactor' according to your coin's volume profile changes. You should look at the chart and set the 'spikeFactor' value high enough so that this strategy only triggers about once a week for your coin. Take a look at VolumeSpikeDetectorLong for volume spikes in longer candle intervals (>= 12h) to detect if attention in a coin is rising.
- spikeFactor:The minimum spike to open a position. Defined as x times higher than the average volume.
- minVolBtc:The minimum volume for the current candle and average volume to prevent spikes near 0 trading volume. Defined in the base currency of your trading pair, usually BTC or USD.

- tradeDirection:optional, default both - The direction in which this strategy shall open positions. 'notify' means you will only receive notifications to do a trade. 'watch' only computes the spike values for manual inspection. Values: up|down|both|notify|watch
- minPriceChangePercent:optional, default 3.0 - The minimum percent the price has to change to confirm the volume spike and trade on it. If you are trading on small candles (5min) then a value of 1.5 or lower can also be a good setting. See PriceSpikeDetector for a strategy looking only at price spikes.
- tradeOppositeDirection:optional, default false - If set to 'false' we don't trade if we have an open position in the other direction. 'true' means this strategy will always open a position.
- strongRate:optional, default true - 'true' means this strategy will use a rate well above/below the current rate to ensure the order gets filled immediately during the spike. This is similar to submitting a market order.
- onlyDailyTrend:optional, default true - Only trade when the spike is in the same direction as the 24h % price change.
- keepCandleCount:optional, default 3 - The number of candles to keep to compute the average volume. Should be increased for small candle sizes such as 5min.
- VolumeSpikeDetectorLong:
- VolumeSpikeDetector version for longer intervals (daily) to detect if interest/attention in a coin is rising. Half day is also a good interval (especially since the bot might not run 24h without restart to collect enough data). This class only sends notifications and doesn't trade.
- spikeFactor:The minimum spike to send a trade notification. Defined as x times higher than the average volume.
- keepCandleCount:optional, default 3 - The number of candles to keep to compute the average volume.

- minSurfCandles:The minimum number of candles to keep a position open. Will usually be less than 'patternSize'.
- patternSize:optional, default 2 - The number of candles to keep to search for a pattern. 2 will mean we keep 4 candles (2 recent lows, 2 recent highs). 2 is a good value for larger candles above 1h. For fast trading on lower candles you should increase this to 5 or more.
- takeProfitCandleSize:optional, default 10 - The candle size in minutes of the candles this strategy uses to close a protitable position. At the end of the wave (consisting of bigger candles) it will schedule to close the position on the first candle of this small size moving against our position.
- historyPriceCandles:optional, default 6 - The number of candles to look for price history to decide if the bot should open long or short.
- lossPauseCandles:optional, default 0 - How many candles the bot shall pause trading after closing a position at a loss. The assumption is that the market is currently very irregular and no wave pattern can be detected.
- maxVolatility:This strategy will not enter or exit the market above this volatility. Can only be enabled if this is the only main strategy for your currency pair. A value > 0 means Bollinger Bandwidth has to be below this value. Remember that this means your volatility values will change a lot if you change the candle size (as do all unbound technical indicators).
- openBreakouts:optional default true - Open a new position even if the current candle isn't the min/max candle as long as it confirms with the current on EMA crossover trend.

The first trade of this strategy will be AGAINST the current trend of your chosen indicator and this position will be increased on successive indicator highs/lows.
This strategy will open and close existing positions, so don't combine it with take-profit or stop-loss strategies to avoid unintended side effects (positions closing at a loss).

This strategy can also pause market making during quick price movements.
This strategy can also issue multiple open buy/sell order pairs - each one a configured percentage further apart.
You must run this strategy alone, meaning without any StopLoss, take-profit or trade strategy. - makerMode:optional, default fixed - Fixed means we place orders at percent steps away from the last trade price.

If this is 0 WolfBot will keep all orders on both sides until they are filled or expired.
- scaleOutPerc:optional, default 0.0 (use the same amount for all orders) - This value allows you to increase each buy/sell order of numOrdersPerSide by a certain percentage. This helps to move the average rate of all your orders (and thus the break-even rate) in your favor.

- TrailingStopReverseEntry:
- Strategy that has pre-configured support/resistance lines. When the price crosses such a line we place a trailing stop to trade in the other direction (expecting a bounce back). This trade will only happen if the entry price (when the trailing stop gets executed) is still above resistance (resp. below support).
Works well with high leverage (10x - 20x) and RSI strategy for entry.
Works well on 1min candle size together with a trade strategy such as RSIOrderer or RSIScalpOrderer.
This strategy doesn't close positions. You must add a stop-loss and take profit strategy. - supportLines:The price levels below we want to open long a position.
- resistanceLines:The price levels above we want to open short a position.
- trailingStopGoLong:optional, default 2% - Place a trailing stop to go long if price reverses up and is still below the support line.

- expirationPercent:optional, default 4%. Only execute orders at price levels that are within x% of the set support/resistance lines.
- Strategy that has pre-configured support/resistance lines. When the price crosses such a line we place a trailing stop to trade in the other direction (expecting a bounce back). This trade will only happen if the entry price (when the trailing stop gets executed) is still above resistance (resp. below support).
Strategy specific configuration options for all arbitrage strategies:
- Spread:
- Arbitrage strategy that computes the average price across exchanges. If the price is x% higher/lower than avg on exchanges:
1. buy at the cheaper exchange and (short) sell at the expensive exchange
2. close positions after price difference moves x% closer - spreadEntry:How many % the market spread between the 2 exchanges has to be to open positions on both of them.
- spreadTarget:Targeted profit in %. This takes trading fees into account. See the 'tradingFees' setting.
Positions will be closed according to this equation: spreadExit = spreadEntry - 4*fees - spreadTarget -> will usually negative, meaning prices flipped - trailingSpreadStop:After reaching spreadTarget, place a trailing stop to exit the market. Set this to 0 to exit immediately.
- statelessArbitrage:optional, default false. Use only 1 trade per exchange (buy on the lower, sell on the higher) and don't keep an open margin position until the spread decreases.
Enabling this setting means configuration such as 'trailingSpreadStop' will be ignored since there are no trades to close the open arbitrage position.
- Arbitrage strategy that computes the average price across exchanges. If the price is x% higher/lower than avg on exchanges:
- Leg:
- Arbitrage strategy using limit orders with 1 leg "standing" on the current price rate of the higher-volume exchange. Thereby offering liquidity to the lower-volume exchange by copying the orderbook.
Also see MarketMakerOffset strategy for a similar way of market making while only being connected to 1 exchange. - copySide:default "bids" - Which side of the orderbook shall be mirrored. Values: bids|asks
- priceAddPercent:default 0.05% - The percentage the prices on the market we make shall differ from the leg exchange we mirror the orderbook from. This is our profit. Therefore this value must be higher than your trading fees on both exchanges combined plus the maximum possible rounding up loss depending on each exchange's minimum trade tick size (see bookDepthPerSide).
- bookDepthPerSide:default 20 - The price-depth of bids and asks that shall be mirrored. It is measured as the number of orderbook price-level entries, so depending on the minimum trade tick size of each exchange the actual number of orders might be different on both exchanges. Yet they both with go the same price-depth into the bids and asks.
Keep in mind that increasing this value will increase the number of trade API requests to the smaller exchange, so be sure your request limit is sufficiently high. - maxAmountPerOrder:optional, default tradeTotalBtc - The max amount (in coin = quote currency) of a single order.
