Protections

Protections will protect your strategy from unexpected events and market conditions.

Available Protection Handlers

• StoplossGuard (default, if not configured differently)

Stoploss Guard

StoplossGuard selects all trades within a lookback_period (in minutes), and determines if the amount of trades that resulted in stoploss are above trade_limit - in which case it will stop trading until this condition is no longer true.

"protections": [{
        "method": "StoplossGuard",
        "lookback_period": 60,
        "trade_limit": 4
}],

!!! Note StoplossGuard considers all trades with the results "stop_loss" and "trailing_stop_loss" if the result was negative.

Low Profit Pairs

LowProfitpairs uses all trades for a pair within a lookback_period (in minutes) to determine the overall profit ratio. If that ratio is below required_profit, that pair will be locked for stop_duration (in minutes).

"protections": [{
        "method": "LowProfitpairs",
        "lookback_period": 60,
        "trade_limit": 4,
        "stop_duration": 60,
        "required_profit": 0.02
}],
