Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Create a New Strategy

1. Log in to the EdgeKeeper Dashboard.
2. Click the "New Strategy" button.
3. Name your strategy "My First Bot" and click Create.

Step 2: Configure Data Source

When you create a new strategy, you will see two nodes already on the canvas: Fetch Data Price and Timeframe Selector.

1. Click on the Fetch Data Price node.
2. In the configuration panel (right sidebar), select OANDA:EUR_USD as the Base Trading Pair.
3. Click on the Timeframe Selector node (connected to the Fetch Data Price node).
4. Set the Timeframe to 1h.

Step 3: Add Indicators

We need two Moving Average indicators.

1. Open the Node Library (left sidebar).
2. Drag two Moving Average nodes from the Indicators category onto the canvas.
3. Connect the OHLCV Data output of the Timeframe Selector node to the Source input of both Moving Average nodes.
4. Select the first Moving Average node. Set Period to 10 (Fast).
5. Select the second Moving Average node. Set Period to 20 (Slow).

Step 4: Define Logic

Now we determine when to buy.

1. Drag a Crossover node from the Logic category.
2. Connect the Fast SMA output (first node) to Input A.
3. Connect the Slow SMA output (second node) to Input B.
4. This node will output True when the Fast SMA crosses above the Slow SMA.

Step 5: Execute Orders

1. Drag a Buy node from the Execution category.
2. Connect the output of the Crossover node to the Trigger input of the Buy node.
3. (Optional) You can repeat the logic with a Cross Under node and a Sell node to close the position.

Step 6: Run Backtest

Click the Run Backtest button in the top toolbar. Wait a few seconds, and you'll see the performance report in the bottom panel!

Step 7: Log & Analyze

Head to the Trading Journal in the sidebar to log your first trade. Record entry and exit prices, add screenshots, and tag your setup for later review.

Review your trades with the Performance Analytics dashboard to see win rate, profit factor, drawdown, and compare how different strategies stack up against each other.
