Trading Strategies

1. DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) [Planned]

The bot can systematically invest at regular intervals, regardless of price fluctuations. This smooths out entry prices over time and reduces the impact of volatility.

How it works:

• Set a trading interval (30 seconds to 1 hour)
• Specify what percentage of your wallet to use per trade (1-50%)
• The bot enters positions at each interval based on market conditions

Best for: Reducing timing risk and building positions over time

2. Sentiment-Based Trading

The bot uses our proprietary Fear & Greed Index (FGI) to identify market opportunities:

The principle: "Buy when others are fearful, sell when others are greedy"

3. Grid Trading (Flip Direction Mode)

For range-bound markets, the bot can automatically flip between buy and sell positions:

How it works:

1. Buy SOL at $200
2. Set take-profit at $220
3. When TP hits, bot automatically creates a sell order at $220
4. Sets new TP back at $200
5. Cycle repeats, capturing profits in both directions

Best for: Markets trading in predictable ranges

4. Take-Profit / Stop-Loss Management

Every position can be protected with:

• Take Profit (TP): Automatically close when target profit is reached
• Stop Loss (SL): Automatically close to limit losses if price moves against you

Example:

• Buy SOL at $200
• Set TP at $220 (+10%)
• Set SL at $190 (-5%)
• Position automatically closes at either level

Market Intelligence - Fear & Greed Index

Our Custom FGI Calculation

We calculate our own Fear & Greed Index using 5 weighted components:

Data Sources

• Helius: Primary price source
• Birdeye: Secondary source for social sentiment and volume
• CoinGecko: Fallback price source

Update Frequency

• FGI recalculates every 5 minutes
• Price monitoring every 15 seconds (when you have active orders/positions)
• Ensures real-time market awareness

7-Day Trend Chart

The dashboard displays a visual 7-day FGI trend chart with:

• Desktop View: 12 data points per day (every 2 hours) for detailed analysis
• Mobile View: 4 data points per day (every 6 hours) for cleaner visualization
• Statistics: Accurate min/max/average calculated from all raw data points
• Day Labels: Clear markers at day boundaries for easy navigation

This helps you identify sentiment patterns and make informed trading decisions.

Order Types & Features

Market Orders

Execute immediately at current market price:

• Market Buy: Instantly purchase SOL with USDC
• Market Sell: Instantly sell SOL for USDC

Limit Orders

Wait for price to reach your target:

• Limit Buy: Buy when price drops to your target (buy the dip)
• Limit Sell: Sell when price rises to your target (sell the pump)

Example: Current price is $200

• Set limit buy at $190 - order triggers when price falls to $190
• Set limit sell at $210 - order triggers when price rises to $210

Recurring Orders

Automatically recreate orders after they close:

Risk Management

Built-In Protections

Automatic Safeguards

1. Balance Validation: Bot checks you have sufficient funds before every trade
2. Price Validation: Limit orders validate trigger prices make sense
3. Reservation System: Funds are reserved for pending orders, preventing double-spending
4. Separate SOL/USDC Tracking: Buy orders reserve USDC, sell orders reserve SOL

Stop-Loss & Take-Profit

Signal Protection System

Overview

Signal Protection is an automated position management feature that monitors open positions against combined market signals. When enabled, the system continuously evaluates positions using the Fear & Greed Index (FGI) and Two-Pole Oscillator to detect potentially unfavorable market conditions and take protective action.

How It Works

The Signal Protection system runs every 5 minutes and:

1. Fetches Combined Signal - Combines FGI (macro sentiment) with the Two-Pole Oscillator (technical momentum) to generate a unified market signal
2. Evaluates Positions - Checks each protected position to determine if the market signal opposes the position direction
3. Takes Tiered Action - Responds based on signal confidence level

Signal Combination Logic

Tiered Response System

High Confidence Opposing Signal

• Action: Automatically close the position
• Example: Long position during Extreme Greed + Oscillator > 0.5
• Result: Position closed via market swap to protect gains/limit losses

Medium Confidence Opposing Signal

• Action: Tighten stop-loss by 50% toward entry price
• Example: Long position during Greed + Oscillator > 0.5
• Formula: New SL = Current SL + (Entry Price - Current SL) × 0.5
• Result: Reduced risk while allowing position to continue

Low Confidence Opposing Signal

• Action: Log warning only
• Example: Position during neutral market conditions
• Result: No automatic action, position monitored

Configuration

User Controls

• New Trades: Toggle Signal Protection on/off in the order form
• Existing Positions: Enable/disable via position edit interface
• Visual Indicator: Shield icon shows protection status on each position

Benefits

1. Automated Risk Reduction - No manual monitoring required
2. Sentiment-Aware - Uses both macro (FGI) and technical (Oscillator) data
3. Graduated Response - Actions proportional to signal strength
4. Capital Preservation - Protects gains during market reversals
5. Configurable - Users retain control over which positions are protected

Example Scenario

A user opens a long position at $120 with Signal Protection enabled:

1. Market enters Extreme Greed (FGI = 82) with Oscillator at +0.7
2. Combined signal: Strong Sell with High Confidence
3. Signal Protection detects opposing signal for long position
4. Action: Position automatically closed at current market price
5. Result: User protected from potential reversal during extreme conditions

Win Opportunities

How the Bot Can Generate Profits

1. Sentiment-Driven Entry Timing

When the market is in "Extreme Fear" (FGI 0-20):

• Bot identifies buying opportunities
• Historical data shows these often precede recoveries

When the market is in "Extreme Greed" (FGI 76-100):

• Prices are typically overbought
• Bot identifies selling opportunities
• Historical data shows these often precede corrections

2. Automated Discipline

The bot removes emotional decision-making:

• No panic selling during dips
• No FOMO buying during pumps
• Consistent execution of your strategy

3. 24/7 Operation

• Crypto markets never sleep
• Bot monitors and trades around the clock
