Getting started

When starting out with detectors in Moonbot, it's more important to focus on understanding and interpreting signals than on generating large volumes of them. Detectors are a market observation tool designed to help you study market behavior and develop a systematic approach.

Recommended steps for beginners:

• Use detectors without auto-buy to avoid risk and focus on understanding the signals

• Run detectors in Emulation Mode, especially when testing new ideas or parameter sets

• Start with simple detectors and gradually add complexity as you gain experience

• Modify detector parameters one at a time to understand their individual impact

• Watch how often the detector triggers and under what market conditions signals appear.

Detectors are not meant to instantly generate profit without analysis. Their core value lies in helping you understand market dynamics and prepare for automated trading. A calm, methodical approach to setting up detectors reduces common mistakes and builds a strong foundation for future terminal use.
