V1 Strategies
V1 strategies are templates for an algorithmic trading strategy that users can configure, extend, and run. The trading strategy itself is a continual process that monitors trading pairs on one or more exchanges in order to make trading decisions.
Strategies separate trading logic, open source code that defines how the strategy behaves, versus parameters, user-defined variables like spread and order amount that control how the strategy is deployed against live market conditions. Strategy parameters are stored in a local config file that is not exposed externally.
Strategies utilize the standardized trading interfaces exposed by exchange and protocol connectors, enabling developers to write code that can be used across many exchanges. Each V1 strategy is a sub-folder in the /hummingbot/strategy folder.

Core vs Community Strategies¶
Core strategies are used by Hummingbot Foundation for monitoring and on-going testing of connectors. Foundation staff focuses on testing these strategies and rewards users who answer questions related to these strategies on Discord.
Community strategies are included in the codebase as a reference for users. They are not maintained by Hummingbot Foundation and community members may propose changes and fixes via pull requests.
Contributing Strategies¶
We encourage users to create and extend strategies for their own purposes, and if they so desire, share them with the community.
Developers may submit strategies for review. Please note the Contribution Guidelines. For developers interested to create or customize their own strategies, please see Building V1 Strategies.
