Signals

In the world of algorithmic trading, signals are crucial components that dictate the actions of a trading bot. Open signals and close signals are two primary types of signals that indicate when to enter (open) or exit (close) a trade, respectively. Understanding these signals and how they work can significantly enhance your trading strategy, allowing for more informed and timely decisions. Below are descriptions of various open and close signals available in our trading system, designed to help you grasp their functionality and application.

Open Signals

Open signals are used to determine the optimal moments to enter a trade. These signals analyze various market conditions and indicators to identify potential buying opportunities.

ASAP

The ASAP strategy will trigger the opening of a deal immediately whenever it is called. Your trading bot will open a deal at the first possible opportunity without delays.

Options

  • Warmup Period: 1 candle

Bollinger Bands (Lower)

The Bollinger Bands signal monitors the asset price in relation to its lower Bollinger Band. When the price falls below the lower band (oversold condition), a deal is opened.

  • Warmup Period: 20 candles
  • Parameters:
    • length: 20 (periods, range: 2-200)
    • std: 2 (standard deviations, range: 0.5-5)

RSI Oversold

The RSI Oversold signal uses the Relative Strength Index (RSI) to identify oversold conditions. A deal is opened when the RSI value falls below a specified threshold, indicating potential upward price movement.

Options

  • Warmup Period: 14 candles
  • Parameters:
    • length: 14 (RSI periods, range: 2-100)
