Emotionless

Last updated 4 years ago

Was this helpful?

The Emotionless strategy is fully tuned and ready to use, even for novice traders! It's meant to be a relatively safe strategy, with modest but steady gains.

With this strategy, you don't need to think about setting the right or best parameters: it's all there already. You only need to set the basics like your trading limit and choose on which pairs you want to trade. Optionally, you can increase GAIN slightly.

The specifics for how this trading strategy exactly works will not be disclosed.

Some extra features are available for users of Gunbot Standard edition and higher. These are marked below.

These settings can be used, but they are not tested and not intended for use with emotionless. Use at your own risk.

Parameters to configure additional trailing for various types of orders. Trailing works just like it does for the TSSL strategy, the difference being the starting point of trailing.
