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.

Understand the evidence label

The catalog shows only current revisions with matching certification evidence. A Paper only label means the exact strategy and template passed mechanical checks for simulated trading but is not authorized for live orders. Research support and historical screening help classify a candidate; neither proves profitability or live readiness. Legacy, deprecated, rejected, historical-only, and uncertified revisions are not offered for a new bot.

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.

Paper results do not remove the Paper only restriction. Live mode is available only when the exact strategy revision, template, exchange, and pair universe have current promotion evidence and pass the platform's live checks. Continue monitoring because strategy behavior and market conditions can change.
