Can I restrict which symbols are auto-traded?

Yes, MagicTradeBot allows you to restrict auto-trading to specific symbols. This ensures that only selected trading pairs participate in automatic trades triggered by extreme volatility.

⚙️ How It Works

Under the AutoTrade configuration, you can define the allowed symbols:

AutoTrade:
  Symbols:
    - "BTCUSDT"
    - "ETHUSDT"
    - "SOLUSDT"
  • Only the symbols listed here will be considered for auto-trades.
  • All other symbols, even if they experience extreme volatility, will be ignored for auto-trading.
  • Alerts for other symbols may still be sent depending on your monitoring configuration.

🎯 Benefits of Restricting Symbols

  1. Focus on high-liquidity pairs

    • Limits auto-trading to core assets like BTC, ETH, etc.
    • Reduces risk from low-volume or illiquid markets.

  2. Risk Management

    • Prevents overexposure to volatile or experimental altcoins.
    • Keeps auto-trading within your preferred trading universe.

  3. Better Performance

    • Reduces API calls and CPU usage by monitoring fewer symbols for auto-trades.

📊 Example Scenario

AutoTrade:
  Enabled: true
  Symbols:
    - "BTCUSDT"
    - "ETHUSDT"
  • BTC spikes +2% → Auto-trade executes (symbol allowed)
  • SOL spikes +2% → No auto-trade occurs (symbol not allowed)
  • Alerts may still be sent depending on configuration

🚀 Summary

You can restrict auto-trading to specific symbols by listing them under AutoTrade.Symbols:

  • Only listed symbols will trigger auto-trades
  • Other symbols will be ignored for automatic execution
  • Alerts may still notify you about unlisted symbols

This allows precise control over which markets your bot actively trades during extreme volatility.
