Strategies in Runbot are created using different “boxes”, each with a specific purpose like managing risk, creating indicators, or setting rules for entering or exiting trades.

Signals are a key part of this process. They can be created with your indicators and used on other boxes to execute rules, allowing you to build complex strategies.

Moreover, Runbot offers a wide variety of trading triggers for every indicator, like ‘Cross Level’, ‘In Zone’, ‘Sustain above’, ‘Sustain’, and ‘%/ATR Distance delta’, ‘Divergences’.... These are different ways to trade with the same indicator. With these triggers, you are able to tailor your strategy perfectly to match your needs!
