Beginner Strategies

These strategies use simple, well-understood indicators and logic. They're ideal if you're new to automated trading and want to learn the fundamentals.

Simple Moving Average Crossover

This strategy buys when a fast moving average crosses above a slow moving average, and sells when it crosses below. It's one of the most fundamental trend-following strategies. Typical settings: 20 EMA and 50 EMA on the 4-hour chart with a 2% stop loss.

RSI Bounce Strategy

This strategy buys when RSI drops below 30 (oversold) and sells when RSI rises above 70 (overbought). It works best in ranging markets. Typical settings: RSI(14) on the 1-hour chart with a 1.5% stop loss and 3% take profit.

Bollinger Band Mean Reversion

This strategy buys when price touches the lower Bollinger Band and sells when it touches the upper band. It captures mean reversion moves in ranging markets. Typical settings: BB(20, 2) on the 4-hour chart with ATR-based stops.

Choosing Your First Strategy

• If you prefer trending markets, start with the Moving Average Crossover
• If you prefer ranging markets, start with RSI Bounce or Bollinger Bands
• Backtest each one and see which fits your risk tolerance and trading style
