Concepts¶
This section explains the mechanisms behind the screens: how the bot decides, finds coins, guards your money, and proves an edge. The User Guide covers the screens and fields; this section covers why they behave as they do.
A strategy is the rulebook one profile trades by; the other concepts here work across every strategy.
Strategies¶
The three rulebooks that ship today. You pick one per profile — see Compare & choose:
- Trailing Trade — buys dips in steps, trails the sell up.
- Momentum — buys a confirmed breakout, exits on a trailing stop.
- Rebalance — holds a basket at target proportions.
Everything else¶
| Concept | What it explains |
|---|---|
| Discovery | How the bot auto-picks which coins a profile trades and rotates the set as the market moves. |
| Technicals | The technical-analysis signals (the Technical Rating) that gate buys and can fire force-sells. |
| Account health | The always-visible strip that answers "is my money OK right now". |
| Execution modes | Whether a profile enters with taker (market) or maker (passive limit) orders. |
| Backtesting | How a config is replayed over historical candles, and why a backtest reads optimistic relative to live trading. |
| Backtest metrics | What each backtest number means — return, alpha, drawdown, and the risk ratios. |
| Notifiers | The operator-global providers (Slack, Telegram, webhook) that deliver alerts. |
Where the boundaries fall: the exact per-tab fields live in the User Guide; the internal tick pipeline and reliability model live under Contributing.
