Starting Template
This script sets defaults that I like to start with:
Also included are setting a minimum desired gain (change gain_protection to 0 if you want to sell regardless of your gain), and buying only if it will reduce your average bought price (change avg_protection to 0 to turn this feature off).
This strategy only takes long positions since Gunbot does not make short positions.
We also start the backtesting at a specific time, to avoid going over the maximum of 2000 trades. Especially helpful when trying to tune a high frequency strategy, or when comparing the efficacy of a strategy on candlesticks with different time periods (this is why I did not use max bars back).
Cheers!
- Trade commission set to 0.25%
- Allow multiple buys before sells
- Fixed trade size
