How to create an EasyTrade strategy?

EasyTrade is a flexible algorithm that allows you to automate your trading logic. Below is a step-by-step path to creating your first strategy.

1. Coin Choice

First, select a trading pair. For our example, we chose BTCUSDT. This is the asset on which the algorithm will look for signals and execute trades.

2. Backtest Date

Select the time period over which you want to test the strategy. In our example, we will choose 1 year, as it is an adequate period for analysis to see how the strategy performs under different market conditions.

3. Deposit and Leverage

Specify the amount of virtual deposit the strategy will use and the leverage size. Leverage allows you to trade with a volume exceeding your deposit, but it increases the risks.

In our example, we will set a deposit of 200 and use leverage 1.

4. First Order and Entry Indicator

Here we set up the logic for entering a position. For our example:

• First Order: Set to 100.
• Indicator: Use EMA Cross (Moving Average Convergence Divergence).
• Timeframe: 1h (one hour).
• Slow period: 200.
• Short period: 50.
• Trigger action: BUY, as we expect growth.

5. Stop Loss

Your insurance if the price goes the wrong way. Although the platform supports complex types of stop losses, we will use the simplest and most understandable option — percentage-based.

• Value: -5%.

6. Take Profit

The level at which the algorithm will lock in your profit. EasyTrade allows you to split the exit into 10 parts, but for simplicity, we use one level.

• Level: 1.
• Profit: 5%.

7. Priority Close

Priority Close is a kind of "stop valve" that immediately closes the entire position based on a signal from a selected indicator, ignoring other conditions. In this example, we will leave this field empty.

8. DCA Orders

Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) orders help improve the average entry price if the asset price temporarily drops.

• Quantity: 1 order.
• Condition: Price drop by 2% + entry indicator signal.
• Volume: 100% of the first order volume (doubling the position on a drawdown).
