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