Understanding the Basics of Long Bots
What is a Long Bot?
A Long Bot is designed to profit in an uptrending market by buying at a lower price and selling at a higher price. Here’s how it works:
Initial Purchase:
The bot buys a coin (e.g., 1 BTC for $10,000) and immediately places safety orders below the purchase price.
Safety Orders:
Safety orders are additional buy orders placed below the current price to average down the purchase cost if the price drops.
For instance, safety orders can be set at $9,900, $9,800, and $9,700.
Take Profit Order:
The bot sets a take-profit order above the initial purchase price (e.g., $10,100).
If the price rises to this level, the bot sells the coin and realizes a profit.
How Long Bots Handle Price Movements
Scenario 1: Price Increases Immediately
The bot sells at the take-profit price (e.g., $10,100) and cancels all safety orders.
Profit is realized, and the bot awaits the next signal.
Scenario 2: Price Decreases Before Increasing
Activating Safety Orders:
If the price drops to $9,900, the first safety order is triggered, and the bot buys more coins.
The take-profit level is recalculated to account for the new average purchase price.
Averaging Down:
As the price continues to drop, additional safety orders are triggered (e.g., at $9,800 and $9,700).
This reduces the overall average purchase price, requiring a smaller price increase to sell at a profit.
Closing the Deal:
When the price rises, the bot sells all purchased coins at the updated take-profit price, generating a profit.
Using Bollinger Bands with Long Bots
Bollinger Bands are a key tool for identifying market volatility and setting entry and exit points:
Entry Signals:
When the price touches the lower Bollinger Band, the bot receives a signal to open a deal.
Safety orders are placed below this entry point.
Exit Signals:
When the price rises and crosses above the middle or upper Bollinger Band, the bot closes the deal and cancels unused safety orders.
Wave-Like Operation:
The bot operates on market waves, repeatedly opening and closing deals based on Bollinger Band signals.
Practical Example
Activating a Bot:
A bot is configured to start trading immediately or upon receiving a signal from Bollinger Bands.
Safety orders are placed at intervals below the entry price.
Dealing with Declining Prices:
If the price drops, safety orders are triggered, and the bot adjusts the take-profit level accordingly.
Closing the Deal:
Once the price rises, the bot sells all purchased coins, realizing a profit.
Key Features of Long Bots
Customization:
Set the number of safety orders and the distance between them manually.
Adjust these settings during a trade to adapt to market conditions.
Profit from Volatility:
Long Bots thrive in volatile markets with frequent price fluctuations.
Larger market waves often result in higher profits.
Risk Management:
Safety orders help mitigate losses by averaging down the purchase price.
Configurable parameters allow you to control exposure and profit targets.
