SmartTrade Overview

SmartTrade allows users to open, manage, and close orders on the exchange with predefined conditions. Quentrade provides an extensive suite of REST API methods to create and manage SmartTrade entities and their associated trade executions.

The lifecycle begins with a SmartTrade entity configuring entry targets, stop loss triggers, trailing deviations, and multi-step take profit ladders. Quentrade autonomously executes and manages sub-trades when market conditions are satisfied.

How SmartTrade Works

A SmartTrade entity acts as an intelligent container holding complete trading parameters. Once created, Quentrade monitors live WebSocket order books and automatically submits, updates, and cancels sub-trades on the underlying exchange without requiring manual intervention.
