Step-by-step tutorials to help you master Kerosyne.
⚡ Coming Soon
Automated strategies are launching in Q2 2026. This guide shows what's coming. Manual trading is available now.
Automated strategies will let Kerosyne trade for you based on predefined rules. Here's how it will work.
From your dashboard, go to Settings → Strategies.
💡 This will be a dedicated tab for managing all your strategies
Choose from three strategy types:
Set your strategy parameters:
Cerberus will validate your strategy against your risk envelope. Make sure:
Click Deploy Strategy. Your strategy will start executing automatically.
Monitor performance from the Strategies page. You can pause or stop anytime.
Start Small
Test your first strategy with a small position size. Once you're comfortable with how it works, you can scale up.
Position sizing is the most important risk management tool. Here's how to do it right.
Check your total capital in the dashboard. This is your starting point.
Never risk more than 1-2% of your capital on a single trade.
Use your stop loss distance to determine position size:
When you enter a trade, Cerberus automatically checks if your position size is safe. If it's too large, the trade will be rejected.
Pro Tip
Conservative traders use 0.5-1%. Aggressive traders use 2%. Never go above 2% per trade.
Manual trading gives you full control while still benefiting from risk validation.
Click Manual Trade from the dashboard or press M.
Choose which exchange and trading pair you want to trade.
Define your trade parameters:
Cerberus will show validation status:
Click Place Trade. Your position will appear in the dashboard immediately.
Your dashboard shows everything you need to monitor your trading activity.
Shows your current risk utilization:
🟢 Green = Safe | 🟡 Yellow = Caution | 🔴 Red = Limit reached
Each row shows:
Cerberus validates every trade. Here's what each message means and how to fix it.
Your trade is within all risk limits. You're good to go.
What it means: Your position is too large for your account.
How to fix: Reduce your quantity or adjust your stop loss to risk less per unit.
What it means: You have too much capital at risk across all positions.
How to fix: Close an existing position or wait for one to hit its target/stop.
What it means: You've hit your maximum allowed loss for today.
How to fix: Wait until tomorrow. This limit resets at midnight UTC.
Remember
Cerberus is protecting you. If a trade is rejected, it's because it would put your account at risk.
