To edit parameter settings, go to File -> Settings
There are fixed parameters and dynamically calculated parameters. Dynamically calculated parameters have a default value and min and max value. Min and max value are the range limits for generating test values of each parameter during backtesting process.
| Setting | Description | Range of values | Data type |
|---|---|---|---|
| feePerTrade | fee for each closing and opening of a position | >= 0 | double |
| baseCurrencyStartBalance | start balance used for the backtesting calculation | > 0 | double |
| initialBuyPercentage | initial cost for opening a position | > 0% | double |
| DCABuyPercentage | percentage based on the current position size that will be rebought on an DCA buy. Please note that this value is the initial value for the first DCA buy. Any further DCA buy percentage will be caculated by DCABuyPercentage * DCABuyPercentage factor | > 0% and <= 100% | double |
| DCABuyTarget | required loss of an open position until an DCA buy is possible | double | |
| maxDCABuyLevel | maximum amount of DCA buys | > 0 | int |
| DCASellPortion | <100% means open position will be sold in pieces once DCASellTarget is reached. 100% means, that open position will be closed. DCASellPortion will be multiplied with DCASellPortion factor for any further DCA sell level. (E.g. in case you want to DCA out in larger portions the higher the price goes, DCASellPortion factor is above 1) | > 0% and <= 100% | double |
| DCASellTarget | minimum required profit of open position until it can be sold | > feePerTrade | double |
| maxDCASellLevel | maximum amount of DCA sells (DCA out of an open position in portions) | ||
| stopLoss | required loss on which an open position should be cut with a loss | < 0 | double |
| trailingStopLoss | required loss regarding to the highest price since activation on which an open position should be cut with a loss | < 0 | double |
| trailingStopLossStep | Discrete price interval for trailingStopLoss update | > 0 | double |
| DCABuyMode | Set the behaviour of DCABuyTarget parameter: (only enabled in DCA trading mode) – single target: fixed parameter for all open positions – target levels: base value, multiplied with a DCABuyTarget factor for any further DCA level – single target controlled: single parameter for all open positions that is controlled by the balance usage of the portfolio | ||
| SellMode | – single target: close the position immediately once the DCASellTarget is reached and an sell event occurs – portions on target levels: sell the open position in portions once the DCASellTargets are reached. |
