FMZ Setup and a Simple Price-Threshold Alert Bot

Summary

This beginner tutorial explains the FMZ automated trading platform and outlines how to prepare a bot: create a strategy, connect an exchange, deploy a local or server-based executor, configure a bot, and monitor it. It describes support for several programming languages and cryptocurrency venues, and discusses the platform’s simulated exchange, backtesting, notifications, and API key handling. A sample JavaScript loop polls the latest price and sends a message when it crosses user-defined upper or lower thresholds, with a time interval between alerts.

The tutorial is primarily an operational introduction, rather than a guide to developing or evaluating a profitable trading strategy. It includes setup steps and code examples, but the supplied text is incomplete: it ends with part of another strategy, whose logic and results are not fully presented. It gives no empirical evidence that the sample alert rule predicts price moves or produces returns. Exchange support, security practices, and platform features are described by the source and may change; users must also secure their credentials and the machine running the executor.

Key ideas

• A bot requires a strategy, an exchange connection, and an executor deployed on a computer or server.
• FMZ provides tools for configuring, running, monitoring, and backtesting automated strategies.
• The sample bot polls market prices and alerts when price moves beyond configured thresholds.
• A delay between alerts limits repeated notifications while a price remains outside the thresholds.
• The tutorial gives no evidence that its alert example has predictive value or generates returns.
