Entry gates

Modes, thresholds & bands

These decide whether a window is worth trading at all.

  • Consensus strictness / Trading mode: a preset for how strict every entry gate is. Selective takes few, high-quality entries (only strong, confirmed moves). Balanced is the middle ground. Aggressive lets most windows qualify, with a wider band and lower thresholds, so more trades but weaker signals.
  • UP threshold / DOWN threshold: how big a move must be to count. In Constellation this is the average move of the agreeing assets; in Simple and Advanced it is that single market's own spot move. Lower thresholds trigger on smaller moves, meaning more trades on a weaker signal.
  • Buy price range (entry band): only enter when the token trades inside this low-to-high band. Price is roughly the implied probability, so a band around $0.50 targets near coin-flips with room to run, while a wider band takes more setups.
  • Avoid price range: never buy when the price sits inside this band, for example skipping true coin-flips at $0.49 to $0.51. Set both ends to 0 to disable it.
  • Trading hours: a 24-hour UTC grid. Click any hour to sit that hour out. The shading shows historical BTC volatility per hour so you can avoid the quiet or wild ones.
  • Assets (Simple & Advanced only): which 5-minute markets to trade, BTC, ETH, or both. Constellation ignores this and always trades all six.
Constellation only

Constellation dials

Two extra controls shape how Constellation hunts for a laggard.

  • Min assets agreeing: how many of the six markets must be moving the same direction before Constellation even looks for a laggard. Higher is stricter and produces fewer trades.
  • Laggard gap: how far behind the pack the straggler has to be, measured as an implied-probability gap, before it counts as a real laggard worth betting on. A larger required gap means only clearer stragglers qualify.
Sizing

Sizing & bankroll

These control how much money goes into each bet and how much is at risk at once.

  • Initial buy ($): the size of the first bet when a position opens.
  • Max per trade ($): the most total money committed to a single position, counting the initial buy plus every DCA add combined.
  • Max concurrent: the most open positions the bot will hold at the same time.
  • Bankroll ($): your working capital. The bot sizes against it and respects it as a hard limit.
DCA behavior

DCA & the stop-loss floor

DCA (dollar-cost averaging) means adding to a position after you have entered, if the price dips. On a 5-minute market the whole life of a trade is 300 seconds, so any adding happens fast. Pick one of four behaviors:

  • Standard: add $3 on the first dip, then $2.50 on the next, up to $10.50 total per trade.
  • Off: one bet, no adds. The simplest and lowest risk.
  • Capped: one small $2 add, max $7 per trade.
  • On confirm: only add if the live signal still agrees with your original call. If the market has turned against you, it holds and does not add to a losing bet.

The individual DCA dials (in Advanced) let you set the exact amounts:

  • DCA #1 add ($) / DCA #2 add ($): the dollar amounts added on the first and second dips.
  • DCA trigger drop ($): how far the token price must fall from your entry before a DCA add fires.
  • Stop-loss price ($): this is a DCA floor, not a sell. Once the token falls below this price the bot stops averaging down. It does not sell, because every 5-minute bet is held all the way to resolution and there is no mid-window exit in these markets. The stop-loss simply prevents throwing more money into a sinking position.

In a 5-minute binary a falling price usually means the market is turning against your call, so adding down can mean adding to a loser. Off and On confirm are the safer choices for this fast, directional style.

Streak reversal

Betting against a long run

An optional override. You turn it on and set a count N, default 7. After N consecutive same-direction closes on a market, for example seven UPs in a row, the bot ignores its normal signal for that window and bets the opposite side. It is a mean-reversion bet: the run looks over-extended, so it fades it.

Long runs are rare. In real BTC data a run of 7 or more happens only about once or twice a day per asset, so this fires rarely and sits quietly the rest of the time.
