Autostart #
Warning
Outages are always a factor to consider when deploying trading bots, these can result in dangling or outstanding orders on the order book, which may lead to losses. To prevent such the Autostart strategy is designed to cancel all orders upon restarting of bot back to it’s pre-set strategy upon the event of outages, thus eliminating this risk.
This is a recently released experimental feature. Running any trading bots without manual supervision may incur additional risks. It is imperative that you thoroughly understand and test the strategy and parameters before deploying bots that can trade in an unattended manner.
Nonstop Algo can automatically start the execution of a previously configured trading strategy upon launch without needing user interaction when provided with pre-existing configuration files. This can be very useful if you wish to deploy already well-tested strategies and configurations to cloud services and have Nonstop Algo running automatically in the background.
