# Beginner Examples

> Simple, beginner-friendly trading ideas and why they work well in Trinigence.

## How to use these examples

These examples are intentionally simple.

They are designed to:

* produce trades
* be easy to understand
* behave predictably in backtests

You can copy them directly, modify them, or use them as inspiration.

<Info>
  A beginner strategy is not a bad strategy.
  Simple ideas are easier to evaluate and improve.

## Example 1: Basic RSI reversal

**Trading idea:**

```text theme={null}
Create an ETH/USDT strategy on the 1h timeframe.
Go long when RSI(14) drops below 30.
Exit with a 5% take profit and a 1% stop loss.
```

**Why this works as a first example:**

* clear market and timeframe
* single indicator
* deterministic entry
* fixed risk

This strategy helps you understand:

* oversold logic
* trade frequency
* basic risk/reward behavior

***

## Example 2: Moving average crossover

**Trading idea:**

```text theme={null}
Trade BTC/USDT on the 4h timeframe.
Go long when EMA(20) crosses above EMA(50).
Exit when EMA(20) crosses below EMA(50).
```

**Why this works:**

* classic trend-following logic
* entry and exit symmetry
* no fixed TP/SL required

Good for learning:

* crossover behavior
* trend duration
* drawdowns during ranges

***

## Example 3: Fixed TP/SL with momentum confirmation

**Trading idea:**

```text theme={null}
Trade ETH on 1h.
Go long when RSI(14) is above 55.
Use a take profit of 6% and a stop loss of 1.5%.
```

**Why this works:**

* momentum confirmation is explicit
* exits are deterministic
* produces frequent trades

Useful for understanding:

* win rate vs average win/loss
* impact of fixed exits

***

## Example 4: Long and short symmetry

**Trading idea:**

```text theme={null}
Trade BTC/USDT on the 1h timeframe.
Go long when EMA(20) crosses above EMA(50).
Go short when EMA(20) crosses below EMA(50).
Use a 4% take profit and a 1% stop loss.
```

**Why this works:**

* demonstrates bidirectional logic
* same rules for long and short
* easy to compare performance

Great for:

* understanding short trades
* market regime differences

***

## Example 5: Time-filtered trading

**Trading idea:**

```text theme={null}
Trade ETH on 1h.
Go long when RSI(14) crosses above 50.
Trade only on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Exit with a 5% take profit and a 1% stop loss.
```

**Why this works:**

* introduces filters without complexity
* shows how schedules affect trade count

## Common beginner mistakes

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Too many indicators">
    Start with one indicator. Add confirmations only after you understand baseline behavior.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="No exits defined">
    Always define exits. If you forget, ATI will stop and ask.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Judging performance too quickly">
    Look at behavior first, profit later.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## How to build on these examples

Once you’re comfortable:

* change timeframes
* adjust parameters slightly
* add one filter at a time
* compare results side by side

  If a beginner strategy behaves “badly”, that’s still valuable information.
  Simple strategies teach faster than complex ones.
