Strategy Templates
Vantixs includes 9 pre-built strategy templates that you can use as starting points. Each template is a complete, tested pipeline that you can customize.
What Are Templates?
Templates are pre-configured strategy pipelines with all nodes, connections, and default parameters already set up. They provide a working foundation so you can learn by example or use them as a base for your own ideas.
Templates are the fastest way to start trading. Pick one, backtest it, adjust parameters, and deploy.
Available Templates
Strategies that ride market momentum:
SMA Crossover: Classic dual moving average crossover strategy. Buys when the fast SMA crosses above the slow SMA, sells on the reverse. Works best in trending markets.
EMA Crossover: Similar to SMA but uses exponential moving averages for faster signal response. Better for volatile markets where speed matters.
MACD Momentum: Uses MACD histogram and signal line crossovers to identify momentum shifts. Includes a volume filter to confirm signals.

Customization Tips
Adjust Timeframes
Templates default to 1-hour candles. Try 15-min for faster signals or 4-hour for less noise.
Tune Indicator Periods
Default RSI period is 14. Try 7 for more signals or 21 for smoother readings.
Add Filters
Drop a Volatility Filter or Volume Threshold node between the signal and execution to reduce false entries.
Change Position Sizing
Switch from fixed size to risk-percentage or account-percentage sizing in the Signal to Order node.
Templates provide a starting point, not guaranteed profits. Always backtest with realistic slippage and commission settings before live trading.
