What is AutoConfig
Gunbot's AutoConfig is a powerful tool for Gunbot settings automation. With AutoConfig, you can create automated "jobs" for tasks that you would typically perform manually, such as changing a profit target or scanning an exchange for potential pairs to add.
The tool enables you to schedule jobs using a cron-like system, providing complete flexibility and control over your automation.
Cron is a time-based job scheduler in Unix-like computer operating systems. Users schedule jobs (commands or shell scripts) to run periodically at fixed times, dates, or intervals. AutoConfig uses a similar concept for scheduling its automation tasks.
Jobs are defined as JSON objects. Simple jobs can be generated using the browser interface, while a code editor can be used for complex jobs.
Examples of Tasks You Can Automate with AutoConfig​
- Scan exchanges and automatically add pairs: You can configure AutoConfig to add pairs based on specific criteria, such as volume, price, and trailing stops. You can also apply custom filters to ensure that only relevant pairs are added.
- Create rules for pair removal: You can create rules to remove pairs that no longer meet your criteria, such as those with low volume or volatility.
- Change the strategy for active pairs: You can change the active strategy for pairs, for example, by implementing bag-handling strategies when prices drop.
- Monitor pair state information and automatically set pair overrides: You can monitor pair state information and automatically set pair-specific overrides, such as defining a different gain target during an uptrend.
- Orchestrate complex trading setups: You can use JavaScript to define custom AutoConfig filters or rule-based settings values. Variables can be stored at a global or pair-specific level. This capability allows for completely custom trading scenarios.
AutoConfig makes it possible to implement complex automations for your Gunbot settings without requiring programming knowledge, although you can also use custom JavaScript code. This allows you to create powerful trading automations that meet your unique needs.
