Choose a maintained Freqtrade strategy preset

A strategy preset supplies the Freqtrade logic that evaluates market data and decides when a bot may enter or exit a trade. BotTradesForYou provides maintained presets so you can begin without writing Python, while still configuring the supported trading and risk settings.

Compare the logic, not a promise

Read the preset description before selecting it. Identify the indicators or conditions it uses, its intended timeframe and market style, and how often it is likely to trade. A strategy that traded well in one period can lose in another. No preset guarantees returns.

Consider how the preset fits:

• the exchange and trading pairs you plan to use;
• your preferred holding period and trade frequency;
• the fees and liquidity of those pairs;
• your acceptable stake, open-trade count, and drawdown.

Configure risk separately

The preset is only one part of a bot configuration. Review stake amount, maximum open trades, stop-loss behavior, pair selection, and every exposed parameter. Avoid increasing several limits at once simply because a short test looked favorable.

Validate in paper mode

Run each meaningful preset or parameter change in paper mode. Observe trades, logs, drawdown, and behavior across more than one market condition. Keep notes about the exact configuration so comparisons remain useful.

Move to live trading only after the behavior is understood, and begin with limited capital. Continue monitoring because strategy behavior and market conditions can change after launch.
