Template:Automation
- Template:Automation
Introduction
This article details the functionality and usage of the `Template:Automation` template within this wiki. This template is designed to streamline the documentation of automated trading strategies, bots, Expert Advisors (EAs), and related tools. It provides a standardized format for presenting information, making it easier for users to understand, compare, and evaluate different automation approaches. Automation in trading refers to the use of pre-programmed rules and algorithms to execute trades without manual intervention. This can range from simple rule-based systems to complex machine learning models. Understanding and clearly documenting these systems is crucial for responsible and effective implementation. Using this template ensures consistency across all automation-related articles on this wiki.
Purpose
The primary purpose of the `Template:Automation` template is to create a consistent and informative presentation of automated trading systems. It aims to:
- **Standardize Information:** Ensure all key aspects of an automation strategy are covered in a uniform manner.
- **Improve Readability:** Present information in a structured and easily digestible format.
- **Facilitate Comparison:** Allow users to quickly compare different automation strategies based on their characteristics.
- **Enhance Searchability:** Use consistent terminology and structure to improve search results within the wiki.
- **Promote Transparency:** Encourage developers and users to provide detailed and accurate information about their systems.
- **Support Collaboration:** Provide a platform for community feedback and improvement of automation strategies.
