Algo Trade Crypto Strategies

You can automate your crypto strategies on AlgoTest through Delta Exchange.

Steps to Enable Algo Trading

1. Connect Your Broker

   Go to Broker Setup → Connect Delta Exchange and log in using your broker credentials.
   Make sure API access is enabled on your Delta Exchange account, as live algo trading works only through APIs.

   2. Select Your Strategy

   Once connected, choose the crypto strategy you want to deploy.
   Before going live, ensure that the strategy has been thoroughly backtested and aligns with your risk appetite.

   3. Run a Forward Test

   Before starting live trading, we strongly recommend enabling a Forward Test.

   Forward testing allows you to:

   • Test your strategy on real-time market data

   • Validate performance without risking real capital

   • Check order execution, slippage, and logic accuracy

   • Gain confidence before going live

   During this phase, the strategy behaves exactly like live trading—but without placing real orders.

   4. Review Margin & Position Settings

   Carefully review:

   • Required margin

   • Lot size/quantity

   • Max positions

   • Risk limits

   Ensure your wallet balance is sufficient to support the strategy once live trading starts.

For common setup issues or troubleshooting, see our Algo Trading Doc.

Important: Live crypto trading requires API access and sufficient wallet balance on Delta Exchange.
