Initial Application Configuration

⚙️ MagicTradeBot v6.0 — Configuration System

MagicTradeBot v6.0 introduces a completely redesigned configuration system. All settings are now modular, structured, and located inside the /settings directory.

💡 Recommended: Use the GUI Bot Configurator instead of editing YAML manually:
https://magictradebot.com/en/bot-configuration

⚠️ Manual editing is intended for advanced users only.

📁 Configuration Structure

/settings/
├── application.yaml
├── connection.yaml
├── trading.yaml
├── position_sizing.yaml
├── money_management.yaml
├── risk_limits.yaml
├── order_execution.yaml
├── decision_engine.yaml
├── signal_registry.yaml
├── tradeview.yaml
├── market_data.yaml
├── market_watch.yaml
├── whale_tracking.yaml
├── dca.yaml
├── trading_gap_rules.yaml
├── excluded_symbols.yaml
├── manual_trade.yaml
└── notifications.yaml

Each file controls a specific subsystem of the bot, allowing fine-grained tuning and better maintainability.

🧠 Core Configuration Modules

🔧 application.yaml

Global application settings, environment, and exchange mode restrictions.

🔌 connection.yaml

Database (SQLite/PostgreSQL) and Redis configuration.

📊 trading.yaml

Core trading behavior, leverage, and execution rules.

📈 position_sizing.yaml

Capital allocation engine (fixed, %, Kelly, risk-based).

💰 money_management.yaml

Trade progression strategies (Fibonacci, Martingale, etc.).

⚠️ risk_limits.yaml

Hard stop-loss and take-profit enforcement.

⚡ order_execution.yaml

Order placement behavior (market, limit, slippage control).

🧠 decision_engine.yaml

📊 Market & Strategy Modules

🧩 Control & Utility Modules

excluded_symbols.yaml — Prevent trading on specific pairs
manual_trade.yaml — Conditional manual trade injection
notifications.yaml — Alerts (Telegram, Discord, etc.)

🔐 Environment Variables (Recommended)

API keys and sensitive credentials should never be stored in YAML files. Use environment variables instead.

# Example
BINANCE_API_KEY=your_key
BINANCE_API_SECRET=your_secret

⚠️ Environment variables always override YAML settings.

⚠️ Important Exchange Mode Restrictions

Bybit: One-Way Mode ONLY (Hedge Mode NOT supported)
Binance: Hedge Mode supported
Bitget: Hedge Mode supported
OKX: Hedge Mode supported

Using an incorrect mode may result in:

Order execution failures
Incorrect PnL calculations
Risk management inconsistencies
