Multi-Asset Crypto Spot Trading with Dual EMA Crossovers

Summary

This beginner tutorial builds a spot strategy that monitors several USDT crypto pairs, each with its own fast and slow EMA periods and order amount. It buys when the fast EMA crosses above the slow EMA and sells when it crosses below, using completed bars to identify the crossover. The article also explains how the program parses per-symbol settings, cycles through markets, plots candles and indicators, tracks assets, and reports account profit.

The included code illustrates the implementation, and screenshots are described as showing trades in ETH, LTC, and ETC during a backtest; it also mentions paper trading. These examples demonstrate that the signals can trigger orders, but they do not establish profitability or robust performance. The author frames the strategy as a learning and testing example and advises caution with live use. Practical limits include fixed order sizing, reliance on EMA signals, and exchange-specific order and account behavior.

Key ideas

• The strategy assigns separate fast and slow EMA periods and order sizes to each monitored trading pair.
• A bullish crossover triggers a spot purchase, while a bearish crossover triggers a sale.
• The program cycles through symbols, updates charts, and records account balances and estimated profit.
• The presented backtest examples show trades but do not demonstrate that the strategy is profitable.
