AutoConfig Examples
Use the examples on this page to implement common AutoConfig trading automations.
These examples are templates for common AutoConfig use cases. Adjust parameters like YOUR_STRATEGY, exchange names, and filter values to suit your setup. Remember that all jobs for an exchange are stored in autoconfig.json.
Add Top Volume Pairs
This example shows how to automatically add and remove top-volume BTC pairs on Binance, excluding low-satoshi pairs and those with a bid/ask spread higher than 0.4%.
The addPairs job limits active pairs to ten. Pairs that no longer meet the criteria (for example, volume rank drops or spread rises above 0.4%) are removed by the removePairs job after being in the configuration for over an hour. Pairs with a balance worth more than MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL are not removed because noBag: true.

Add Uptrending BTC and USDT Pairs
This example shows automatic management of trending BTC and USDT pairs on Binance, excluding low-satoshi pairs (for BTC) and those with a bid/ask spread higher than 0.6% (as per filter example). It also prevents crossover problems, such as trading both USDT-BTC and BTC-ETH simultaneously, using noCrossover: true.
This example uses ticker data filters to determine recent pair behavior.
Each addPairs job limits its respective pair list (BTC or USDT) to ten active pairs. Pairs that no longer meet the criteria after being in the configuration for over an hour are removed by the "Remove pairs after 1h" job. Pairs with a balance worth more than MIN_VOLUME_TO_SELL are not removed.

Dynamic Gain Target
This example dynamically sets the GAIN override to 2 if ema1 is greater than ema2 for a pair, and to 1 if ema1 is less than or equal to ema2.
The custom filter always passes. It is included because this job does not require any other filter conditions for pair selection but needs at least one filter to process pairs for override changes.

Custom Code Example
This example illustrates how custom JavaScript can be used in various parts of an AutoConfig job. Use a JavaScript minifier to convert readable code into the single-line minified code required for AutoConfig JSON string values.
