Settings Reference
Official documentation for user-configurable execution parameters and internal evaluation inputs for the TradeExecutor.ai automated trading system.
You are responsible for understanding how these settings affect execution behavior. Incorrect configuration can lead to unintended outcomes. It is strongly recommended to observe behavior in a simulated account before applying changes to a live environment. Changes to these parameters create a new execution profile for which no historical representation is implied or provided.
Active Settings
InitialCapital
What It Controls
The baseline funding amount used by the system to calculate position sizing when account equity is above a defined threshold.
Effect on Execution
Raising this value allows the system to allocate larger amounts per trade when conditions permit. Lowering it constrains maximum allocation even if account equity is higher.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not change how trades are evaluated internally, nor does it override real-time account buying power checks.
CapitalAmtSwitch
What It Controls
The account equity level that determines which internal position sizing method is active.
Effect on Execution
When account equity is above this level, the system uses a percentage-based allocation method. When below, it switches to a fixed allocation approach.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not alter internal evaluation logic, exit handling, or risk constraints—only which allocation method is applied.
MinTradeCapital
What It Controls
The fixed dollar amount allocated per trade when account equity is below the switching threshold.
Effect on Execution
Increasing this value results in larger fixed-size positions during lower-equity periods. Decreasing it reduces exposure under those conditions.
What It Does Not Affect
It has no impact when account equity exceeds the switching threshold and does not influence internal evaluation behavior.
RiskPercent
What It Controls
The percentage of available buying power allocated to a single trade when account equity is above the switching threshold.
Effect on Execution
Higher values increase allocation per trade, while lower values reduce exposure.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not modify internal evaluation inputs, exit handling, or behavior when the system is operating under fixed allocation mode.
RewardRiskRatio
What It Controls
The ratio used to calculate price targets relative to stop distance when legacy stop/target mode is enabled.
Effect on Execution
Increasing the ratio places targets farther from entry. Decreasing it brings targets closer.
What It Does Not Affect
It has no effect unless legacy stop/target mode is active and does not influence modern exit logic or position sizing.
FastMA, SlowMA, TrendMA
What It Controls
Lookback periods used in internal trend evaluation calculations.
Effect on Execution
Changing these values alters how the internal evaluation framework responds to recent versus longer-term price behavior.
What It Does Not Affect
These are internal evaluation inputs only. Adjusting them does not change execution mechanics, order types, or risk enforcement.
RSILength
What It Controls
The calculation period for an internal momentum evaluation metric.
Effect on Execution
Shorter periods increase responsiveness to recent price changes, while longer periods smooth short-term fluctuations.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not directly control order placement, position sizing, or execution timing.
RSIOversold, RSIOverbought
What It Controls
Boundary levels used internally during momentum evaluation and exit handling.
Effect on Execution
Widening the range allows internal evaluation to operate across broader conditions. Narrowing it restricts evaluation to more specific conditions.
What It Does Not Affect
These thresholds do not alter order types, capital allocation, or account management behavior.
BBLength, BBStdDev
What It Controls
Parameters for an internal volatility band calculation used during evaluation and exit handling.
Effect on Execution
Changing the lookback window affects historical context. Adjusting the deviation value alters band width.
What It Does Not Affect
These parameters do not modify execution rules, position sizing, or order handling.
MACDFastLength, MACDSlowLength, MACDSmoothLength
What It Controls
Lookback periods for an internal momentum divergence evaluation metric.
Effect on Execution
Adjusting these values changes how internal evaluation responds to price trend changes.
What It Does Not Affect
They do not alter execution behavior, order management, or capital allocation.
ATRLength
What It Controls
The lookback period for an internal volatility measurement that influences stop distance when legacy stop/target mode is enabled.
Effect on Execution
Shorter periods increase sensitivity to recent volatility, while longer periods smooth volatility estimates.
What It Does Not Affect
It has no effect unless legacy stop/target mode is active and does not impact modern exit handling.
VolumeMA, VolumeMultiplier
What It Controls
Parameters used internally to evaluate volume conditions.
Effect on Execution
Changing these values alters how volume activity is interpreted within the internal evaluation framework.
What It Does Not Affect
They do not change order execution, position sizing, or risk constraints.
IgnoreDays
What It Controls
The number of calendar days after a sale during which a re-entry guard remains active.
Effect on Execution
Increasing this value extends the re-entry restriction period. Decreasing it shortens that period.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not change internal evaluation inputs, exit handling, or position sizing.
MinDiscountPct
What It Controls
The discount percentage required for re-entry when the re-entry guard is active.
Effect on Execution
Higher values require larger price pullbacks before re-entry is permitted. Lower values reduce the discount requirement.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not influence initial evaluation, exit handling, or capital allocation.
AlertPctThreshold
What It Controls
The percentage price change that triggers an informational log notification.
Effect on Execution
Raising this threshold reduces notification frequency. Lowering it increases frequency.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not influence evaluation, execution decisions, or order placement.
EnableProfitExit
What It Controls
A switch that enables an automatic exit when price appreciates by a defined percentage from entry.
Effect on Execution
Enabling this activates the additional exit condition. Disabling it removes that condition.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not alter internal evaluation inputs, position sizing, or other exit rules.
ProfitExitPct
What It Controls
The percentage price appreciation from entry that triggers the automatic profit exit when enabled.
Effect on Execution
Higher values require larger price moves before exit. Lower values result in earlier exits.
What It Does Not Affect
It has no effect unless the profit exit feature is enabled and does not modify evaluation behavior.
Inactive / Legacy Settings
UseLegacyStopsTargets Legacy
What It Controls
A switch that enables traditional stop-loss and profit-target exits based on volatility-adjusted price levels.
Effect on Execution
Enabling this switch activates fixed stop and target exits. Disabling it relies on the system's modern exit handling.
What It Does Not Affect
It does not modify internal evaluation logic, position sizing, or non-legacy exit behavior.
