Managing bots

Enabling a bot

Bots are defined in the config.yaml file. When a new bot is added it needs to be explicitly enabled. Running the /config Telegram command will show a listing of all configured bots. With each bot's description is a link to either enable or disable the bot, which changes depending on its status. Once a bot is enabled, it will attempt to open a new position, based on its parameters.

Disabling a bot

A bot will stay enabled until it is explicitly disabled. A bot can be manually disabled by running the /config Telegram command and selecting the Disable option on a given bot.

Disabling a bot that has an open position will not disable any stops or profit target orders, but it will prevent the bot from opening any new positions once the existing position has been closed.

Disabling all bots

Running the /pause command will prevent all bots from entering new positions. While paused, Trademade will also pause all bot stop monitors.

Modifying a bot

Bots can be modified by updating its configuration in config.yaml. If a bot is modified while it has a position open, the new configuration will be applied after the position is closed and when the bot opens a new position.

Deleting a bot

A bot can be deleted by simply removing it from the config.yaml file. If a bot is deleted while it has an open position, Trademade will continue to monitor that position until it is closed.

Tags

Bots can be grouped by using tags.
