Pure HODL with risk management bolted on. You buy in (one-shot or scaled), and the bot watches the price 24/7 - locking in profits as price rises, bailing out if price collapses below your floor. The "set and forget that actually pays attention" play.
How it works
You define an entry plan (one-shot at market or scaled across a few orders), a stop-loss (fixed or trailing), and one or more take-profit tiers. The bot opens the position, then watches price tick-by-tick. As price rises, the trailing stop ratchets up to lock in profit. As price hits each take-profit tier, the bot peels off a chunk. If price collapses below your floor, the stop fires and exits the rest. You stay involved for thesis decisions; the bot handles the watching.
Key Features
Strategy profile
A snapshot of how this strategy behaves and who it suits, not a forecast of returns.
These are designer assessments of strategy character, not user-specific performance figures.
In top-growth bull markets, pure HODL beats this - every exit is a missed gain. But in choppy or bear markets, the discipline pays for itself many times over. Backtest research suggests stop-loss levels of 15-20% balance protection with giving trades room to breathe. Pick your stop based on the asset's typical volatility, not gut feeling - a 5% stop on a coin that swings 8% daily will get triggered constantly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Quick glossary
Definitions for the trading terms used on this page.
- Backtest
- A simulation of how a strategy would have performed on historical price data. Past results never guarantee future returns - markets change.
- Slippage
- The difference between the price you expect and the price you actually get when an order fills. Worse on illiquid pairs and during fast markets.
- Spread
- The gap between the best buy price (bid) and the best sell price (ask). Tight spreads = liquid market, wider spreads = more cost per round trip.
- Stop-loss
- An automatic exit order that closes a losing position when price hits a chosen threshold. Caps how much one bad trade can hurt you.
- Take-profit
- An automatic exit order that closes a winning position once price reaches a chosen target. Locks in gains without relying on you to watch the chart.
- Volatility
- How sharply price moves. High volatility = bigger swings in both directions, which means more opportunity but also more drawdown risk.
