- The default strategy is called
trend_ema
and resides at./extensions/strategies/trend_ema
. - Defaults to using a 2m period, but you can override this with adding e.g.
--period=5m
to thesim
ortrade
commands. - Computes the 26-period EMA of the current price, and calculates the percent change from the last period's EMA to get the
trend_ema_rate
- Considers
trend_ema_rate >= 0
an upwards trend andtrend_ema_rate < 0
a downwards trend - Filters out low values (whipsaws) by
neutral_rate
, which when set toauto
, uses the standard deviation of thetrend_ema_rate
as a variable noise filter. - Buys at the beginning of upwards trend, sells at the beginning of downwards trend
- If
oversold_rsi
is set, tries to buy when the RSI dips below that value, and then starts to recover (a counterpart to--profit_stop_enable_pct
, which sells when a percent of profit is reached, and then dips) - The bot will always try to avoid trade fees, by using post-only orders and thus being a market "maker" instead of a "taker". Some exchanges will, however, not offer maker discounts.
