One of Gimmer’s strongest features is that it adapts to your skill level. Whether you have never written a line of code or you are an experienced quantitative trader, the Strategy Editor has a mode that fits. This guide explains the three skill levels and how to progress from one to the next.
Level 1: Beginner — Pre-Built Templates
If you are new to automated trading, start here. The Beginner level gives you access to pre-built strategy templates that you can deploy immediately with minimal configuration:
- Grid Trading — buy low, sell high in a defined price range. No configuration beyond price boundaries needed.
- DCA (Dollar Cost Average) — automatically buy at regular intervals to average your entry price.
- RSI Momentum — trade based on overbought and oversold signals using the Relative Strength Index.
To use a template, simply select it from the Strategy Editor, set your preferred trading pair and risk limits, and deploy. You do not need to understand the underlying logic to start — though the editor lets you inspect and tweak every parameter if you are curious.
Level 2: Intermediate — Visual Strategy Builder
Once you are comfortable with how strategies work, move to the Visual Strategy Builder. This drag-and-drop interface lets you create custom strategies by connecting blocks:
- Indicators — SMA, EMA, RSI, MACD, Bollinger Bands, and more.
- Triggers — when an indicator crosses a threshold, enter or exit a position.
- Conditions — combine multiple signals with AND/OR logic.
- Actions — buy, sell, set stop-loss, adjust position size.
The visual builder generates the underlying strategy code automatically, so you can see what your blocks compile to. This is the fastest way to learn how trading logic works without writing code from scratch.
Level 3: Advanced — Full Scripting
For experienced traders who want complete control, Gimmer offers a full scripting environment. You can write custom strategy logic using Gimmer’s Strategy API:
- Define custom indicators and signal generation logic.
- Implement complex risk management rules — trailing stops, dynamic position sizing, portfolio-level exposure limits.
- Access real-time order book data for advanced execution algorithms.
- Write multi-strategy coordination scripts that manage several bots simultaneously.
The scripting layer is fully documented, and strategies you build here can be published to the Marketplace for other users to rent.
Choosing the Right Level
The best level depends on your goals:
- Want to start trading immediately with minimal setup? Use Level 1 templates.
- Want to experiment with custom strategies without learning to code? Level 2 is your sweet spot.
- Building a professional-grade strategy for the Marketplace? Level 3 scripting gives you full control.
There is no penalty for switching between levels. You can start with a template, open it in the visual builder to customize it, and eventually modify the generated script directly. The editor preserves your changes at every step.
Conclusion
Gimmer’s three-tier Strategy Editor means there is no barrier to entry and no ceiling for growth. Start where you are comfortable, and level up as your skills grow. The platform grows with you.
