General Parameters for All Strategies

⚠️ Attention! Triggers work only when the AutoTrading Extension Pack is activated or when the global Emulator mode is enabled via Menu → Emulator Mode.

Parameters for Master strategies

• TriggerKey: a field for specifying key number N (1–200), which is assigned when the strategy's detect-trigger activates (even without AutoBuy). If set to 0, it does not apply.
  This trigger assigns a key that can subsequently activate Slave strategies. The trigger fires and assigns the key either on the specific market where the detect occurred, or on all markets, depending on TriggerAllMarkets.
  Example:
  A Master strategy has TriggerKey = 5. When this strategy activates (activation conditions for each strategy type are described later in "Trigger operation specifics"), timestamp is written into key 5. After that, all Slave strategies where TriggerByKey = 5 become active and will run during the number of seconds specified in their TriggerSeconds parameter, or for the time specified inside TriggerByKey in the format N=Time, where N is key number, and Time is duration in seconds (see TriggerByKey description and examples below).

• TriggerKeyBuy: a field for specifying key number N (1–200) that is assigned when a Buy order execution trigger activates. If set to 0, it does not apply. In the MoonShot strategy, TriggerKey is removed — only TriggerKeyBuy is available;

• TriggerKeyProfit: a field for specifying key number N (1–200) to assign when a trigger activates after closing a trade in profit. If 0, it does not apply;

• TriggerKeyLoss: a field for specifying key number N (1–200) to assign when a trigger activates after closing a trade in loss. If 0, it does not apply;

• ActiveTrigger: YES/NO checkbox.
  If YES, the trigger signal is kept active (on TriggerKeyBuy for MoonShot, or on TriggerKey for other strategies) as long as a Buy order remains placed on the coin;

• ClearTriggersBelow: a field for specifying key number N (1–200). When trigger N activates, all trigger keys with numbers lower than N are cleared;

• ClearTriggersAbove: a field for specifying key number N (1–200). When trigger N activates, all trigger keys with numbers higher than N are cleared;

• ClearTriggerKeys: a field for listing trigger keys (separated by spaces) that will be cleared when the strategy receives any trigger signal from parameters TriggerKey, TriggerKeyBuy, TriggerKeyProfit, TriggerKeyLoss of this same strategy;

• TriggerAllMarkets: YES/NO checkbox.
  If YES, the trigger acts on all markets simultaneously. If NO, it acts only on the market where the trigger fired.

Parameters for Slave strategies

• TriggerByKey: a field for specifying key N (1–200) or a list of keys (N1 N2 N3 …) separated by spaces, received from a Master strategy, which will activate the current Slave strategy.
  If the field is empty, it does not apply. You can also specify keys with individual activation times using the format N=Time.
  Example:
  if the TriggerByKey field contains: 1 2 3 4=100 5 6 7=300 this means the Slave strategy can activate from keys 1 2 3 4 5 6 7, but each will provide different activation times:

• For keys 1 2 3 5 6, activation time is taken from the TriggerSeconds parameter of the Slave strategy

• For key 4=100, the Slave strategy will run for 100 seconds

• For key 7=300, the Slave strategy will run for 300 seconds.

• TriggerByAllKeys: YES/NO checkbox.
  If YES, the Slave strategy activates only if all keys listed in TriggerByKey are currently active.

• TriggerSeconds: a field for specifying the number of seconds the Slave strategy will run after activation by keys listed in TriggerByKey without the equals sign. If 0, it does not apply.
  Example:
  If a Master strategy is triggered and activates key 1 (for instance, using its parameter TriggerKey=1), then any Slave strategy that contains key 1 in the TriggerByKey=1 parameter will start and run for the duration specified in the Slave strategy’s TriggerSeconds=60 parameter. In this case, the Slave strategy will operate for 60 seconds, then deactivate and remain inactive until the next activation signal via key 1.

• TriggerKeysBL: a field for specifying key N (1–200) or a list of keys (N1 N2 N3 …) received from a Master strategy, which will stop the current Slave strategy by adding the coin to the blacklist (BL) for a specified time. If the field is empty, it does not apply. You can also specify keys with individual BL durations via N=Time.
  Example:
  if the TriggerKeyBL field contains a line such as: 1 2 3 4=100 5 6 7=300, this means that the strategy may be stopped by different keys — 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 — but the duration of the stop will be assigned differently:
  

• For keys 1 2 3 5 6, the duration will be determined by the value set in the TriggerSeconds parameter

• For the key 4=100, its own custom duration specified after the equals sign will be applied — that is, after receiving key 4, the Slave strategy will operate for 100 seconds

• For the key 7=300, its own custom duration specified after the equals sign will be applied — that is, after receiving key 7, the Slave strategy will operate for 300 seconds.

• TriggerSecondsBL: a field for specifying the duration (seconds) during which the Slave strategy will not operate after activation by keys listed in TriggerKeysBL without the equals sign. If 0, it does not apply.
  Example:
  if a Master strategy is triggered and activates key 1 (for instance, from its TriggerKey=1 parameter), then any Slave strategy that contains key 1 in its TriggerKeysBL=1 parameter will stop for the duration specified in the Slave strategy’s TriggerSecondsBL=60 parameter (for 60 seconds).

• SellByTriggerBL: a field for specifying key N (1–200) or a list of keys (N1 N2 N3 …), taken from the keys used in TriggerKeysBL, upon receiving which all Sell orders will be closed on markets where those keys fired. If the field is empty, it does not apply.
  Example:
  If a Master strategy is triggered and activates key 1 (for example, from its TriggerKey=1 parameter), then any Slave strategy that contains key 1 in its TriggerKeysBL=1 parameter will stop for the duration specified in the Slave strategy’s TriggerSecondsBL=60 parameter (for 60 seconds). And if SellByTriggerBL=1 is additionally specified, all Sell orders will also be closed on the markets where key 1 was triggered.

• CancelByTriggerBL: YES/NO checkbox.
  If YES, all Buy orders will be canceled when a key listed in SellByTriggerBL parameter.
  Example:
  if a Master strategy is triggered and activates key 1 (for example, from its TriggerKey=1 parameter), then any Slave strategy that contains key 1 in the TriggerKeysBL=1 parameter will stop for the duration specified in the Slave strategy’s TriggerSecondsBL=60 parameter (for 60 seconds). And if CancelByTriggerBL=YES is additionally specified, all Buy orders will also be canceled on the markets where key 1 was triggered.

Trigger behavior specifics

The Manual strategy activates a trigger key in the following cases:

1. When a Buy order is placed using the TriggerKey parameter, if the ActiveTrigger=YES checkbox is enabled.

2. When a trade is closed, via the TriggerKeyProfit and TriggerKeyLoss parameters. In this case:

1. if the trade is closed in profit, the key specified in TriggerKeyProfit is activated (e.g., if TriggerKeyProfit=1, key 1 will be activated)

2. if the trade is closed at a loss, the key specified in TriggerKeyLoss is activated (e.g., if TriggerKeyLoss=2, key 2 will be activated).

3. If you need activation on any trade closure, whether profit or loss, set identical keys in both parameters (TriggerKeyProfit and TriggerKeyLoss).
   Example: TriggerKeyProfit=3 and TriggerKeyLoss=3 → key 3 activates regardless of outcome.

If both parameters are set to zero (TriggerKeyProfit=0 and TriggerKeyLoss=0), the Manual strategy will not activate any keys upon trade closure.

All other strategies activate keys from TriggerKey on detection (even without AutoBuy). They may also activate keys from TriggerKey when placing a Buy order, if the ActiveTrigger=YES checkbox is enabled.
