Strategy Types
BlaveClaw has two strategy types: Type A signal strategies and Type B everything else. Choosing the right type is the first step.
Quick Comparison
Type A — Signal Strategy
- Single symbol, fixed interval
- Signal output: LONG / SHORT / FLAT
- Backtest required before deploy
- Uses
TEMPLATE.py framework
- For: indicator strategies, trend following, mean reversion
Type B — Other Strategies
- Any number of symbols or structure
- No fixed signal format required
- No backtest — confirm and deploy
- Write from scratch freely
- For: grid trading, arbitrage, screeners, portfolio
Type A — Signal Strategy
Type A strategies are for generating LONG / SHORT / FLAT signals on a single symbol at a fixed interval.
Type A Strategy Examples
- RSI Strategy: Long when RSI < 30, short when RSI > 70
- Moving Average Cross: Long when short MA crosses above long MA, short when below
- Holder Concentration: Long when HC is positive (institutions net long), short when negative
- Squeeze Momentum: Long when SM breaks out of squeeze with green bars, short with red bars
Type B — Other Strategies
Type B covers everything that doesn't fit the Type A framework: multi-symbol operations, event-driven logic, rotation, screeners, and more. No backtest is needed — confirm the logic and deploy.
Type B Strategy Examples
- Grid trading: Auto place buy/sell orders within a price range
- Statistical arbitrage: Monitor spread between two symbols, enter on deviation
- Market screener: Scan for symbols meeting conditions and send alerts
Note
Type B strategies still require your explicit confirmation before going live. BlaveClaw never executes trades automatically.
