# Algorithms

### <mark style="color:blue;">PinoAPI leverages code and data analytics to develop advanced algorithms. Our team combines market expertise, real-life experience, and technical skills to create algorithms that perform well in all market conditions.</mark>

### Advantages of algorithmic trading

By using algorithms in financial markets, one could gain a significant edge in terms of speed, data processing, and predetermined risk. These factors can greatly increase the probability of making the right decisions.

When badly configured, algorithms can cause significant loss to your portfolio.\
Make sure to always double check your configuration before activation!

### Our selection

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Idle" %}

### Idle

Idle is PinoAPI's flagship algorithm, which, when combined with the right risk management, is capable of running for months without requiring any manual interaction.

* **Timeframe:** Medium/High
* **Risk level:** <mark style="color:green;">Low</mark>
* **Structure:** HTF Trends/HTF Ranges
* **Set and forget:**  Yes (Risk Preset: Low)
* **Plans:** [<mark style="color:blue;">Demo</mark>](/documentation/overview/plans.md#demo-1), [<mark style="color:green;">Intermediate</mark>](/documentation/overview/plans.md#intermediate-1), [<mark style="color:yellow;">Advanced</mark>](/documentation/overview/plans.md#advanced-1)

{% hint style="info" %}

### Defensive:

In traditional markets, we would classify Idle as defensive. The algorithm allows its configurator to have a laid-back approach without spending too much time in front of the screen.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="R\&R" %}

### R\&R

R\&R is PinoAPI's intermediate algorithm, which, when combined with the right risk management, is capable of generating high returns without any manual interaction.

* **Timeframe:** Medium/High
* **Risk level:** <mark style="color:orange;">Medium</mark>
* **Structure:** HTF Trends/LTF Ranges
* **Set and forget:**  No
* **Plans:** [<mark style="color:green;">Intermediate</mark>](/documentation/overview/plans.md#intermediate-1), [<mark style="color:yellow;">Advanced</mark>](/documentation/overview/plans.md#advanced-1)

{% hint style="info" %}

### Conservative:

In traditional markets, we would classify R\&R as conservative. The algorithm allows its configurator to have an active approach with balanced screen time.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Mars Attack" %}

### Mars Attack

Mars Attack is an advanced low timeframe algorithm that is capable of generating extremely high returns in ranging markets.

* **Timeframe:** Low/Medium
* **Risk level:** <mark style="color:red;">High</mark>
* **Structure:** LTF Ranges
* **Set and forget:**  No
* **Plans:** [<mark style="color:yellow;">Advanced</mark>](/documentation/overview/plans.md#advanced-1)

{% hint style="info" %}

### Aggressive:

In traditional markets, we would classify Mars Attack as aggressive. The algorithm requires its configurator to have an active approach to the market, with constant screen time and low timeframe decision making.
{% endhint %}
{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### What algorithm to pick?

If you run an [Auto API](https://docs.pinoapi.com/documentation/changelog/auto), we handle the algorithms for you. However, if you prefer a [manual API](https://docs.pinoapi.com/documentation/beginners/getting-started#id-4.-manual-or-auto), we recommend performing [market analysis](https://docs.pinoapi.com/documentation/beginners/first-analysis) to determine the current market structure, trend, and form a bias. Based on your analysis, you can configure a new setup and start trading.
