Using the Gunbot Code Editor

The Code Editor is part of the Gunbot interface for users who want direct control over config files or strategy code. It is designed for users comfortable with JavaScript and JSON, letting you edit Gunbot configuration files, view internal data, and develop custom strategies without leaving the Gunbot environment.

Info

The Gunbot Code Editor is a built-in tool that allows users to directly edit configuration files (like config.js and autoconfig.json) and custom strategy JavaScript files.

For the Code Enthusiasts

If you're comfortable with config files or JavaScript, the Code Editor gives you direct access. It supports editing config.js, the main configuration file, and autoconfig.json for AutoConfig jobs. It also includes autocomplete templates and suggestions to help keep syntax correct and configurations valid.

For the Casual User

Even if you're not a coding aficionado, the Code Editor is designed to be approachable. It's there when you need it but stays out of the way when you don't. You can stick to the graphical user interface for most trading needs.
