Can I Customize Trading Strategies in Gunbot?

Yes. You can adjust the settings of included Gunbot strategies, save reusable presets, or develop custom JavaScript strategies when you need trading logic beyond the included options.

For included strategies, use the strategy documentation to check what a setting changes. Save configurations you want to reuse as presets.

For logic that the included strategies do not provide, Gunbot supports custom JavaScript strategies. Gunbot Live also includes a Code Editor for working with strategy files on the selected Gunbot instance.

Use the test method that fits the change:

  • Backtest against historical data when the strategy and its dependencies are supported by the backtesting environment.
  • Use a dedicated spot simulator instance when you also want to observe the strategy against current markets before real trading.
  • Use real trading when the tested configuration is ready for actual exchange funds.

Some custom strategies depend on external data, timing, or interactions that a historical test cannot fully reproduce. Simulator mode is spot-only, so it is not a forward-testing path for futures strategies.

See Develop custom strategies in Gunbot Live for setup, testing, and Code Editor use.
