Set Entry Conditions
Entry conditions live inside an Indicator node. They define what has to be true in the market before your strategy takes any action. This page covers how to add conditions, combine them, and what data you can use.
Open the Indicator settings
Click an Indicator node on the canvas (or the toolbox icon on the node) to open its settings panel on the left. This is where you add, edit, and combine your conditions.
Add a condition
Inside the settings panel, click the metrics you want to use. Each one you select appears inside the Indicator node on the canvas.
- Operations: How to compare the data point: greater than, less than, equal to, crosses above, crosses below. As well as aggregate functions like EMA, SMA, and Bollinger Bands.
- Data feeds: The market data point to watch, such as price or volume.
For indicators like EMA or RSI, you also set a period (number of candles) or a time window.
Available data feeds
Market data:
- Price: last traded, bid, ask, or mid
- Volume
- Funding
- EMA (Exponential Moving Average)
- SMA (Simple Moving Average)
- RSI (Relative Strength Index)
- Percentage change over a time window
Combine conditions with logic
When you have more than one condition, you choose how to combine them:
- AND: All conditions must be true at the same time for the node to trigger.
- OR: Any single condition being true is enough.
- NOT: Fires when its data point is not meeting the specified threshold.
You can also nest groups. For example: (Condition A AND Condition B) OR Condition C.
Example
Goal: Enter a long when EMA(12) crosses above EMA(24) and RSI(14) is below 30.
Configuration:
- Add condition: EMA period 12 crosses above EMA period 24
- Add condition: RSI period 14 < 30
- Set combinator to AND
When both are true, the Indicator fires and passes control to the next node.
Next steps
Once your entry conditions are set, connect an Order node to the Indicator’s output. Read Set Order Conditions to configure the trade and define how the position closes.
