Frequently Asked Questions
A cBot analyses the indicators or the other parameters that it was programmed to use and once the predefined rules are met, it takes a particular action, such as entering, exiting or modifying a trade.
For example, if you are using a cBot that trades breakouts, your trade will be entered when the price breaks above a resistance or below a support level. Apart from rules for identifying trading opportunities, a cBot typically contains parameters for managing open positions such as Stop Loss/Take Profit Levels, trailing stops or other risk management features.
