Building Trading Strategies
In the Visual Editor, traders are presented with a critical choice: to craft a “Trading Strategy.” These meticulously designed algorithms respond to the nuanced fluctuations in market conditions, driven by the rhythmic cadence of candlestick patterns. Strategies are finely-tuned instruments, engineered to initiate predefined actions when specific candlestick conditions are met, providing a powerful tool for real-time trading decision-making.
Building Workflows
Alternatively, users can opt to construct a “Workflow.” These versatile automation tools extend beyond market triggers, responding to an array of diverse events, including predefined schedules, system events, time intervals, keyboard shortcuts, and other stimuli. Workflows empower users to create sophisticated bots capable of executing a wide range of repetitive and intricate operations, offering the flexibility to operate autonomously on a schedule or seamlessly integrate as part of a broader strategy.
The “Execute Workflow” node seamlessly merges these autonomous workflows into the fabric of a larger trading strategy, enhancing the overall strategic apparatus. This strategic bifurcation between “Strategy” and “Workflow” affords traders the professional adaptability to engage with market dynamics in a manner that aligns with the intricacies of their trading objectives.
