ta_summary

How does it work?

Once the bot is launched, it follows Trading View Technical Analysis summary indicator based on 27 signals (oscillators and moving averages) to run a directional strategy. The bot opens and keeps running a long Future position while the signal is "STRONG_BUY" and remains at least "BUY", and a short Future position while the signal is "STRONG_SELL" and remains at least "SELL", and close the position otherwise.. While the bot is running, you can have either 0 or 1 position running maximum.

Parameters to customize the bot

  • quantity: the quantity (in USD) for the position running
  • leverage: the leverage for the position running
  • take profit: the coefficient to apply to the entry price to compute the take profit level
  • stop loss: the coefficient to apply to the entry price to compute the stop loss level
  • interval: interval between 2 TA summary signals: "1m" for 1 minute, "5m" for 5 minutes, "15m" for 15 minutes, "30m" for 30 minutes, "1h" for 1 hour, "2h" for 2 hours, "4h" for 4 hours, "1d" for 1 day, "1W" for 1 week, "1M" for 1 month
  • interval: number of minutes the trading strat will be running
