Quanta exoTrader Configuration

This page explains exoTrader settings using an outcome-led framework. Parameters are grouped by what they influence in live operation.

Configuration Philosophy

Use settings to improve consistency and control. Tune in stages, validate across regimes and avoid changing multiple high-impact controls at once.

A) Core Sizing and Data Scope

• TRADE_LIMIT
  Base allocation for trade sizing.

• PERIOD
  Strategy analysis interval and cycle rhythm.

• MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL
  Minimum notional compliance guard.

• IGNORE_TRADES_BEFORE
  Limits historical trade context to a chosen epoch.

B) Risk and Exposure Controls

• TREND_PROTECTION
  Restricts buys when macro trend context is adverse.

• BUY_BELOW_BEP
  Enforces buy discipline relative to break-even.

• SELL_ALL_ASSET and SELL_ALL_ASSET_GAIN
  Controls full-liquidation behaviour and gain threshold.

• MOC (where supported)
  Caps maximum position size.

C) Partial Exit Controls

• PARTIAL_SELL_BELOW_BEP
  Enables partial exits under configured conditions.

• PARTIAL_SELL_RATIO
  Sets percentage of eligible units to exit.

• PARTIAL_SELL_GAIN
  Minimum gain threshold for partial-sell execution.

D) Order and Execution Controls

• POST_ONLY_ORDERS
  Uses maker-oriented posting path where supported.

• BID_ORDER_BOOK_POSITION and ASK_ORDER_BOOK_POSITION
  Controls orderbook placement depth on supported venues.

• BUY_SLIPPAGE_PERC and SELL_SLIPPAGE_PERC (where supported)
  Allows bounded slippage for fill reliability.

• ORDER_REFRESH_DELAY and ORDER_KILL
  Controls refresh cadence and stale-order cleanup.

• BUY_TRADE_TIMER_MULTIPLE and SELL_TRADE_TIMER_MULTIPLE
  Enforces spacing between same-side executions.

E) Operational Controls

• BUY_ENABLED and SELL_ENABLED
  Side-level execution toggles.

• STOP_AFTER_FULL_SELL
  Stops strategy after full liquidation state.

• BALANCE_OUTPUT
  Writes balance snapshots for auditing.

• VERBOSE
  Enables detailed runtime diagnostics.

• DISPLAY_CHART_SHAPES
  Controls UI overlay display where supported.

Baseline Deployment Path

1. Start with conservative TRADE_LIMIT.
2. Confirm minimum notional by pair.
3. Keep BUY_LOW and SELL_HIGH enabled initially.
4. Enable BEP protections before increasing size.
5. Tune timers before tuning signal sensitivity.
6. Use verbose logs only when diagnosing issues.

No configuration guarantees results. Disciplined parameter control improves reliability.
