The strategy library helps you browse and configure built-in, community, custom, and preset strategies. You can check descriptions, defaults, settings, settings descriptions, and compatibility notes before using live capital. We recommend backtesting strategies before deploying with live capital, this helps you really understand the trading behavior.
What This Feature Does
The strategy library gives you a better starting point than guessing from a strategy name. When the data is present, you can read descriptions, defaults, parameters, tooltips, and categories before choosing between built-in, community, custom, and preset workflows.
What You Should Check
A useful review looks beyond one number. Before putting capital behind a strategy, check the market type, exchange compatibility, timeframe, trading limit, spread, stop, target, risk settings, and any license or plan requirement for community developed strategies.
Limitations
The limits matter: A larger library does not mean every strategy fits every account. Some strategies may be designed for specific markets or conditions. You should test and monitor strategy behavior before live use.
Trading Reality
It gives Gunbot a browser workspace for monitoring, strategy work, backtesting, risk review, history, and exchange-connected operations. These pages explain what the product does. Your account data stays on your local trading bot, behind login.
Operational Limits
The dashboard depends on the connected Gunbot instance, the exchange API, and the network between them. It can make problems easier to notice, but it does not remove market risk or take responsibility away from you: exchange permissions, strategy settings, open orders, and capital allocation still need your review.
Plain Definition
A strategy library is a structured catalog of trading methods. A useful library shows more than names: categories, clear labels, descriptions, defaults, parameters, tooltips, compatibility notes, license state, and a path to testing.
Built-In, Community, Custom, And Presets
| Strategy source | What it means | What to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Built-in | Native strategies shipped with the platform. | Market type, parameters, timeframe, and risk behavior. |
| Community | Strategies from external or community developers. | License state, description, support, assumptions, and signal/history. |
| Custom | Custom JavaScript strategy logic. | Code quality, metadata, settings, and testing. |
| Preset | Saved configuration starting point. | Whether the preset matches the selected pair, exchange, capital, and market conditions. |
Research Flow For A Strategy
A good strategy review starts with the plain-language description, then checks the category, default settings, fees, target, stop, cooldown, sizing, and historical behavior when backtesting is supported. After that, small-size live statistics matter more than the promise of the strategy name.
Why Strategy Classification Matters
A large strategy library gives you more starting points, but it needs good classification. Without categories, descriptions, and settings detail, it becomes a list of names instead of a useful tool.

FAQ
Are community strategies guaranteed profitable?
No. Community strategies are tools and ideas, not guarantees.
Why include both built-in and community strategies?
Built-in strategies provide native options; community strategies expand the available workflows and experimentation surface.
Does more strategies mean better trading?
No. More strategies means more options and more responsibility to choose the right tool for the market, account, and risk profile.
Why show licensed community strategies differently?
Licensing state helps you understand whether you already have access, need to buy access, or are viewing an included strategy.
