This section enables users to share and manage momentum trading strategies. You can import strategies from other users using a JSON file, or download your own strategies, make edits in a text editor, and re-upload them to overwrite existing versions.
Idatco assumes no responsibility for users importing third-party trading strategies. Users are responsible for ensuring they are comfortable with these strategies and fully understand their functionality.
- Login to your Idatco account.
- Navigate to your Momentum Trades > Import/Export Strategies.
- In the Upload section, select the json file you want to upload and click the Upload button to submit it.
Once uploaded, the strategies will be activated and trading will begin immediately.
The file you download can be edited and re-uploaded to either create new strategies or update existing ones.
⚠️ Important:
Be extremely careful when editing strategy files — incorrect changes can break your strategies.
Strategy Structure
Each strategy in the file contains four key parts:
- ID
- Name
- Number of Deployments
- Config
How Uploading Works
When you upload a strategy file, each strategy is processed one by one:
- If the ID already exists in your account, the Name, Number of Deployments, and Config will be updated to match the uploaded file.
- If the ID does not exist, a new strategy will be created with a random ID, using the Name, Number of Deployments, and Config specified in the file.
Notes
To safely make changes, always download your own strategies first, edit them, and then re-upload..
If you upload a file received from another trader, all strategies will be created as new ones with new IDs.
Uploading that same file again will result in duplicate strategies.
