Strategy types

Overview of the different strategy execution modes — standard, scan, DCA, basket, and TradingView.

Updated 2026-05-29·2 min read

Coinrule supports 5 strategy execution modes: standard single-market, scan multi-market, DCA, basket, and TradingView webhook. Each mode is suited to a different trading approach and automation style.

Standard (single market)

The simplest type. One trading pair, one set of entry/exit conditions. The agent runs until you stop it.

Good for: trend-following on BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT, or any specific pair.

Scan (multi-market)

The engine evaluates a universe of trading pairs on each candle close and opens positions on the ones that match your conditions. You define a universe (e.g. "top 50 crypto by volume") and a limit on how many simultaneous positions to hold.

Good for: rotating into the strongest momentum coins without watching the market manually.

See Scan and multi-market strategies.

DCA (dollar-cost averaging)

Buys at a fixed cadence — e.g. $100 of BTC every Monday at 9am UTC. Optionally adds a dip trigger: only buy if the price is below the 7-day average.

Good for: passive accumulation without timing the market.

Basket

Runs multiple sub-strategies across a curated list of assets in one click. Each basket has a rebalancing frequency and risk profile. Custom baskets let you pick assets and weightings.

Good for: diversified index-like exposure to a sector (e.g. DeFi tokens, L1s).

See Baskets.

TradingView webhook

The entry/exit signal comes from a TradingView alert (POST to a unique webhook URL) rather than from the Coinrule indicator engine. This lets you use any Pine Script strategy as a trigger.

Good for: advanced Pine Script strategies, external signal providers, custom data pipelines.

See TradingView webhooks.
