This tutorial designs a deliberately random dYdX futures strategy to illustrate automated trading logic. It chooses long or short at random, enters using order-book prices with a slippage allowance, and exits at fixed profit or loss thresholds. After a loss,…
The document describes short-running plugins that add manual trading helpers to a trading terminal. Immediate plugins execute code through a debugging process, can return a chart or table, and have a stated runtime limit; longer-running tasks use background…
The document introduces a platform data exploration tool for querying exchange OHLC and tick data with SQL, including user-uploaded datasets. It explains how query parameters can make filters adjustable, how results can be viewed as tables or visualizations,…
The document describes a semi-automated workflow for manually hedging cryptocurrency futures against spot positions across multiple exchange pairs. A manager collects futures and spot quotes, displays price differences, and provides controls to open or close…
The article introduces Dual Thrust as a reversal-based breakout strategy for digital-asset futures. It derives a range from prior highs, lows, and closes, scales that range with separate long and short parameters, and places entry thresholds above and below…
The document uses a backtest walkthrough to explain a cash-and-carry style hedge: short a quarterly Bitcoin futures contract while buying spot BTC, then close both legs after the futures premium narrows. It compares executable futures and spot quotes at…
The article reconstructs a trend-following strategy that combines fast and slow exponential moving averages with a range-filter indicator. Long entries require a bullish range-filter signal, the fast EMA above the slow EMA, and a positive candle closing…
This document describes a multi-instrument tool for manually opening and closing futures–spot hedges. The strategy gathers futures and spot quotes, calculates the price differences for two hedge directions, checks available margin and spot balances, adjusts…
This article presents a short-term countertrend strategy for crypto futures. It opens long positions when price is below a moving average and average true range exceeds its own moving average by a chosen multiple. The thesis is that a sharp volatility…
The document teaches a simple trend-following futures strategy built from two exponential moving averages. It signals a long entry or reversal when both averages form a local trough, and a short entry or reversal when both form a local peak. The…
The document extends a multi-contract spread monitor into a grid-based hedging strategy for cryptocurrency futures. It compares near- and far-dated contracts for the same underlying, calculates positive and negative spreads from bid and ask prices, and…
The document describes a workflow for turning TradingView strategy alerts into exchange orders through a hosted trading platform. A Pine script sends a webhook request whose body contains a structured signal, including the instrument, contract type, action,…
This tutorial shows how to assemble trading workflows with a visual programming interface. Examples cover counting configured exchange objects, iterating through them to retrieve names, reading a trading pair, placing orders, listing open orders, looking up…
This tutorial demonstrates how to add several synchronized charts to a trading strategy so that price series and indicators can be inspected across different candle intervals. Its example configures separate candlestick panels for hourly, 15-minute, and…
This document presents a futures indicator intended to help identify comparatively low-price conditions. It first reviews chart patterns such as double bottoms, head-and-shoulders formations, and triple bottoms, then defines a bottom indicator as the count…
This course excerpt introduces commodity trading advisor strategies as systematic or discretionary approaches that can extend beyond commodities into other futures and financial markets. It surveys trend and countertrend trading, arbitrage, market making,…
This tutorial explains a cryptocurrency futures intertemporal hedge that trades the spread between near and deferred contracts. When the deferred contract trades above the near contract, the described position sells the deferred contract and buys the near…
This personal account follows a programmer’s move from early cryptocurrency trading to managing money for friends and relatives, developing trading tools, and later building automated strategies. The author describes an early winning trade and rapid growth…
This overview introduces grid trading as a way to trade repeated price movement by placing orders at defined price levels. It distinguishes grid nodes, spacing, and range, then contrasts a bounded grid with a rebalancing approach that maintains a target…
The document explains how to calculate and implement a SuperTrend signal using a midpoint price and ATR-based upper and lower bands. True range is calculated from the current high-low range and gaps from the previous close; ATR is smoothed, then multiplied…
This article presents a simple random K-line generator for testing strategies in simulated market conditions. Its proposed workflow creates bars with configurable time ranges, intervals, initial price, trend categories, and volatility settings; saves the…
This tutorial demonstrates how to assemble visual blocks for common trading operations. It covers reading the number and names of configured exchange objects, retrieving the current trading pair, submitting an order using a price derived from a market tick,…
This beginner overview explains the components of automated trading in crypto markets. It distinguishes exchange accounts and their internal wallet, spot, and derivatives balances; exchange APIs and their access keys; trading pairs; and spot markets versus…
The document explains how to use FMZ’s mobile trading terminal to connect to configured exchanges through a deployed host, select a market and instrument, view order book and account information, and place or monitor trades. It also describes terminal…
