Advanced Strategy Parameters

The Manual strategy is used for more precise adjustment of order parameters in manual trading. Using this strategy, you can set the number of simultaneously placed orders, the step between them, stop-loss, trailing, and many other parameters with high flexibility. After creating a Manual strategy, it is not necessary to check the box next to it and activate it (so that the indicator light turns on); it is sufficient to simply fill in the parameters and save the strategy.

General Parameters

• UseHookStrategy: menu for selecting a paired MoonHook strategy that works together with the manual strategy to place “manual moonhooks” during manual trading — Buy orders that can move along with smooth price movement and execute on sharp spikes.
  To use this parameter, you must first create a MoonHook strategy and set its parameters HookPriceDistance, HookSellLevel, HookRaiseWait, and HookReplaceDelay.
  Then, in the Manual strategy, select this MoonHook strategy in the UseHookStrategy parameter.
  If this parameter is left empty in the Manual strategy, it works as a regular manual strategy.

Additional Parameters Available Only for Manual Strategies

Parameters on the "Sell Order" Tab

• UseMarketStop: YES/NO checkbox.
  If YES is set, use an exchange stop. Depending on whether you place the Sell order above or below the current price, the Sell order will be set either as a take (a regular limit above the price) or as a stop (a conditional market stop below the price). Stop and take cannot exist simultaneously. The MarketStopLevel parameter defines the initial stop price. This parameter is used only in the Manual strategy.

• MarketStopLevel: field for specifying the initial exchange stop price if UseMarketStop = YES is enabled. This parameter is used only in the Manual strategy.

Parameters on the "Multiple Orders" Tab

• AutoSplitBuy: YES/NO checkbox.
  If YES is set, split the Buy order if the originally placed size exceeds the maximum limit for a single order. This parameter exists only in the Manual strategy and is used only when OrdersCount = 1. The maximum size of a single order may differ for different coins and can be viewed in the main Moonbot terminal window on the right control panel (the Max: value). In other strategies, this parameter is not available due to the risk of uncontrolled exchange bans.

To trade using the Manual strategy, you must first create a Manual strategy, then in the Menu → Manual Trading select the option Use manual strategy.

Next, if several Manual strategies have been created, select the required one by clicking on the strategy name displayed in the top bar, to the right of the Menu button or below it.

In addition, the Moonbot terminal allows you to create buttons for selecting Manual strategies at the top of the main window and assign hotkeys to these buttons.

To do this, go to Settings → Hotkeys and open the Manual Strategies tab. Enable the checkboxes next to Button 1 … Button 10 and, if necessary, assign hotkeys in the fields below for switching to the desired strategy.

After that, empty buttons for Manual strategies will appear in the main window. If you right-click a button, you can select the required Manual strategy from the list and assign its name to that button. Repeat this procedure as many times as needed. You can then select a Manual strategy either by clicking the button or by using the assigned hotkey.

⚠️ Please note! Filters in the Manual strategy can also be applied.

If you do not need them, set deliberately wide ranges for the parameters on the Filters tab, for example: coin deltas from 0 to 1000, BTC and Market deltas from -100 to +100.
