This guide provides a step-by-step process for creating an Iron Butterfly Auto Trader. It covers selecting symbols, setting strike prices, choosing expiration days, defining trade entry frequency, and configuring entry/exit strategies. You'll also learn how to manage buying power allocation and customize advanced settings for the trade.
Step 1: Access the Dashboard
Go to the Dashboard page.
Step 2: Create an AutoTrader
Click on the "Create an Auto Trader" button.
Step 3: Select Iron Butterfly
Choose Iron Butterfly from the options.
Step 4: Set Up the Trade
Click on the symbol you want to trade.
Select the days until expiration for the options.
Choose how you want to pick the strike prices for the trade.
Step 5: Default Strike Price Settings
By default, the options are set to be at the money, which means the strike price is closest to the current trading price.
Step 6: Adjust Strike Price Offsets (Optional)
If you want to set a specific distance, such as $20 wide, enter the strike offset as $20 for both the put and the call options. This will make the strike prices $20 apart from each other.
Step 7: Set Entry Frequency
Choose how often you want to enter the trade, such as once a week or multiple times a week.
Pick the session or specific time you want the trade to be entered.
Step 8: Advanced Entry Rules (Optional)
If you want to enter based on specific indicators, enable TradingView integration.
Step 9: Define Exit Strategy
Set your take profit percentage, stop loss, and early trade closure preferences.
Step 10: Configure Buying Power Allocation
Set how much money the bot is allowed to trade with.
For example, if the trade costs $2,000, ensure the bot has at least $2,000 in buying power.
Step 11: Save and Continue
After configuring the trade, click Save and Continue.
Step 12: Review Summary
A summary of the trade and settings will appear.
Review the settings to ensure everything is configured correctly.
Step 13: Authorize and Save
If everything looks good, click Authorize and then Save AutoTrader.
This process automates the creation and management of an Iron Butterfly trade with customizable entry, exit, and trade management settings.
