<p><strong>Configuring Your DCA Bot's Start Conditions</strong><strong><br></strong>When setting up your DCA Bot, the “Manual adjustment” section provides options to customize your bot’s settings to align with your trading strategy. The settings you choose here will define how the bot enters the market, the type of orders it places, and how it handles risk&nbsp;</p>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ7C9MXXCWD7TPZQVV16JQR"><strong>Bot Start Conditions</strong></h4>
<p><strong>How the Bot Enters the Trade</strong><strong><br></strong>Choose how the DCA Bot will begin its operations:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Immediately</strong>: The bot enters the market as soon as all settings are filled. The position opens instantly with all DCA orders.</li>
<li>
<strong>By Indicator Signal</strong>: The bot waits for a signal from the selected indicator(s) before entering the trade.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tip</strong>: You can select up to six indicators at once, and the bot will start the cycle based on the sum of their signals over the selected timeframe.</p>
<p><strong>Editing Indicators</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>To edit the current indicator, click the [X] next to the indicator name and choose a new one.</li>
<li>Select additional indicators if needed and adjust the timeframe.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ73HMAQK5ACPV62DGW49JB">Base Order Amount &amp; Type</h4>
<p><strong>Defining the Initial Investment and Order Type</strong><strong><br></strong>Next, define the size of your base order (the initial position). You’ll also need to select the order type:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Limit Order</strong>: Opens a position at a fixed price. It may take longer to fill, but it ensures a better entry price.</li>
<li>
<strong>Market Order</strong>: Opens the position immediately but may result in price slippage, buying or selling at less favorable prices.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tip</strong>: For optimal performance, the <strong>Limit Order</strong> is recommended to avoid losses from price slippage.</p>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ73HMA0R92KFPTTYNQKNV7">Averaging Orders</h4>
<p><strong>Averaging the Position with Additional Orders</strong><strong><br></strong>As the market moves, your DCA Bot will place additional orders to average the price of your position. You can customize:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Averaging Orders Amount</strong>: The total investment allocated to DCA orders.</li>
<li>
<strong>Averaging Orders Quantity</strong>: The number of averaging orders the bot will execute.</li>
<li>
<strong>Averaging Orders Step, %</strong>: The percentage distance between each averaging order.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Active Orders Limit</strong>: This option controls the number of active averaging orders at any given time. When fewer active orders are placed, lower-priced orders remain inactive, freeing up funds for other trades.</p>
<p><strong>Tip</strong>: Active orders are only placed at the lowest prices, ensuring that the remaining funds can be used for additional transactions.</p>
<hr>
<h3 id="h_01JHZ798AFGMQXA7820N4ZJ74D">Position TP &amp; SL</h3>
<p id="h_01JHZ73HMAQ2HRJGR7NBBTZ1GM">This section includes settings that lead to closing your position.</p>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ73HMADMY0NX03XBP6BFMM">Take Profit (TP)</h4>
<p><strong>Setting Your Profit Target</strong><strong><br></strong>The <strong>Take Profit</strong> (TP) option closes the bot's position once a certain profit percentage is achieved. You can select:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Regular Take Profit</strong>: Triggered based on price change from the average price, base order price, or by using indicators.</li>
<li>
<strong>Trailing Take Profit (TTP)</strong>: Adjusts the TP as the market moves in your favor, locking in higher profits.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important Note</strong>: When using indicators for TP, it will only trigger when both the indicator’s signal and the price percentage condition are met.</p>
<p><strong>Trailing TP</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Trailing TP Trigger %</strong>: The price change percentage at which trailing TP activates.</li>
<li>
<strong>Price Deviation %</strong>: The price must move by this percentage from the highest price for Long or lowest price for Short to trigger the trailing TP.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ73HMAG28P1NP2923V5MPS">Stop Loss (SL)</h4>
<p><strong>Protecting Against Losses</strong><strong><br></strong>The <strong>Stop Loss (SL)</strong> is used to prevent further losses by closing the position when the price moves against the trade. It is triggered based on the maximum weighted average price of your position.</p>
<p><strong>Trailing Stop Loss</strong>:</p>
<ul>
<li>Moves the SL as the price moves in your favor. If the price reverses, the SL will close the position based on the pre-set percentage.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Tip</strong>: The SL can be adjusted manually, and trailing SL cancels orders placed below the SL, which will appear in gray.</p>
<hr>
<h3 id="h_01JHZ73HMA5EE4YXE62RRG981V">Risk Management</h3>
<p id="h_01JHZ7E4HK7VZCQ5KTRZ031X5F">Control Over DCA Bot Closure<br>The <strong>Risk Management</strong> section allows you to automatically close your DCA bot under certain conditions:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Pump/Dump Protection</strong>: Pauses new positions when the price moves too quickly in either direction.</li>
<li>
<strong>Target Total Profit</strong>: Automatically closes the bot once it reaches the desired profit level.</li>
<li>
<strong>Allowed Total Loss</strong>: Automatically closes the bot once the specified loss percentage is reached.</li>
</ul>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ73HMAHR2SVEV895MWHV8Q">Max &amp; Min Prices</h4>
<p><strong>Set Price Ranges</strong><strong><br></strong>This option lets you limit the prices at which the bot can trade, preventing it from buying at the peak or selling at the dip. By setting maximum and minimum price limits, you can avoid unfavorable market conditions.</p>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ73HMAPVJ0284NPN2VPEJ0">Reinvest Profit</h4>
<p><strong>Maximize Your DCA Bot’s Performance</strong><strong><br></strong>The <strong>Reinvest Profit</strong> feature allows your bot to reinvest the profits from previous cycles into new trades. This helps increase the bot’s position and ensures your funds are continuously working toward maximizing your returns.</p>

<strong>Increased Investment:</strong> Profits from previous cycles are added to the bot’s investment, increasing the volume of trades.</li>

Understanding the Reinvest Profit Feature

<p>Increasing DCA Bot position with manual averaging helps traders improve their strategy by adjusting positions to better manage risks and potentially increase profits. In this guide, we'll walk you through the process of using manual averaging to optimize your DCA Bot.</p>

<hr>
<h3 id="h_01JHZ80CBYJPJHC3D1MW2HR8V2">What is Manual Position Averaging?</h3>
<p>Manual position averaging is a strategy where you take multiple positions in the same asset at different prices. The goal is to average out the overall position, reducing risk and creating a more stable trading outcome.</p>
<h4 id="h_01JJ4W8N97C6ZXZ3VNQ1W14KFV">Benefits of Manual Position Averaging:</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Risk Reduction:</strong> By averaging the price of a position over time, you can minimize the impact of short-term market fluctuations.</li>
<li>
<strong>Market Trend Advantage:</strong> Averaging positions over a more extended period allows you to capitalize on broader market trends and potentially profit from them.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Important Note:</strong> Each cycle of the DCA bot is independent, meaning that manual averaging applies only to positions taken during the current cycle. A new cycle begins with the initial investment, so previous cycles don't affect the new ones.</p>

Increase DCA Bot Position with Manual Averaging

<p>The <strong>Active Orders Limit</strong> feature on DCA Bots provides traders with increased flexibility and control over their trading strategy. By limiting the number of averaging orders placed simultaneously, this feature allows traders to avoid overcrowding the order book while still positioning for profitable trades. This method not only conserves balance but also ensures that the bot’s funds are used efficiently.</p>

<h3 id="h_01JHZ8NQTHMK0EWRY28Q8GTE9N">What is the Active Orders Limit Feature?</h3>
<p>The <strong>Active Orders Limit</strong> feature allows traders to restrict the number of averaging orders that are active at the same time. Instead of placing all orders at once, orders are created as necessary when the price reaches the closest DCA level to the position. This dynamic approach helps keep your balance available for other trades and minimizes the risk of overcommitting to one position.</p>
<p><strong>Key Benefits:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>More Control:</strong> You can limit the number of active orders, which helps you manage risk and balance usage.</li>
<li>
<strong>Efficiency:</strong> Active orders are placed only when required, leaving funds available for other trading opportunities.</li>
<li>
<strong>Visual Cues:</strong> Inactive orders are shown as gray on the chart, helping you track which grids are currently active.</li>
</ul>
<hr>
<h3 id="h_01JHZ8NQTH4W9ZCGKR0YT1QSGY">How to Enable Active Orders Limit for the DCA Bot</h3>
<p>To activate the <strong>Active Orders Limit</strong> feature while creating a bot, follow these steps:</p>
<ol>
<li>
<strong>Access Manual Adjustment section and </strong>Open the DCA bot’s settings.</li>
<li>
<strong>Enable the Feature:</strong> Toggle on the option to enable Active Orders Limit.</li>
</ol>
<p class="wysiwyg-indent1 wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://bitsgap4907.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/18011059542044" width="299" height="282"></p>
<p><strong>Important Note:</strong> Once the DCA bot has started, you cannot activate or modify the Active Orders Limit. Be sure to set it up during the initial configuration.</p>
<hr>
<h3 id="h_01JHZ8NQTHD3HYZ9AJ30DE6SRP">How Does the Active Orders Limit Feature Work?</h3>
<p>When you create a DCA bot, the <strong>initial investment</strong> includes both active and inactive averaging orders. However, only funds for active orders are reserved from your available balance, leaving funds for inactive orders to be used for other trades until they are activated.</p>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ8NQTHNRW0B9NC955SKSYC">Visual Representation:</h4>
<p>The <strong>Active Orders</strong> will be shown as green on the chart, and any <strong>Inactive Orders</strong> will appear gray. This helps you easily track which orders are currently active and manage your balance efficiently.</p>
<p class="wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://bitsgap4907.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/18011031195164" width="624" height="181"></p>
<h4 id="h_01JHZ8NQTH2NF52CVQ36P6XD3V">Example:</h4>
<p>Let's consider the following setup for the <strong>DOT/USDT</strong> trading pair:</p>
<p class="wysiwyg-indent1 wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://bitsgap4907.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/18011059543580" width="284" height="124"></p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Available balance:</strong> 15,016.84 USDT</li>
<li>
<strong>Investment amount:</strong> 5,000 USDT</li>
<li>
<strong>Averaging orders:</strong> 10</li>
<li>
<strong>Inactive orders:</strong> 5</li>
</ul>
<p class="wysiwyg-indent1 wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://bitsgap4907.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/18011059544220" width="305" height="333"></p>
<p>In this case, the amount of funds reserved for the averaging (green) orders will be calculated as follows: 82.12 USDT + 106.75 USDT + 138.78 USDT + 180.42 USDT + 234.54 USDT = 742.61 USDT.</p>
<p class="wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://bitsgap4907.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/18011031196956" width="624" height="341"></p>
<p>As the Active Orders Limit is activated, funds will only be reserved for the active (green) orders. For example, 742.63 USDT would be reserved for the active orders, while funds for the inactive (gray) orders remain available for other trades. As soon as an active order is executed, an inactive order is placed in the order book.</p>
<p class="wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://bitsgap4907.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/18011031197468" width="311" height="134"></p>
<hr>
<h3 id="h_01JHZ8NQTHYGVWAJACQ8V42XDD">Important Considerations for Active Orders Limit</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Stop Loss:</strong> If you activate the Stop Loss feature, it will be placed under the entire grid (for a Long DCA bot) or above it (for a Short DCA bot). Once an order is executed, it will be labeled "Canceled."</li>
</ul>
<p class="wysiwyg-indent1 wysiwyg-text-align-center"><img src="https://bitsgap4907.zendesk.com/hc/article_attachments/18011059547676" width="624" height="299"></p>
<ul>
<li>
<strong>Balance Insufficiency:</strong> If all active orders are executed and your balance is insufficient, inactive orders will show an error message ("Not enough balance"). You can manually restore these orders once your balance is sufficient.</li>

Increase Your Trading Strategy Options with Active Orders Limit on DCA Bots

<p data-start="257" data-end="431">When running a <strong data-start="272" data-end="307">DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging) bot</strong> on Bitsgap, it's important to ensure you have enough available funds on your connected exchange to support active orders.</p>

<hr>
<h3 id="h_01JNDHBR0Q8682NCYZZW9X967R"><strong>How to Resolve the Insufficient Funds Issue</strong></h3>
<p>To continue running your bot, you will need to top up your exchange balance.</p>
<h4 id="h_01JNDHBR0QCQVQTXDS8YAS1H73"><strong>Step 1: Check the Required Amount</strong></h4>
<p>In your bot notification, you will see the exact amount needed to proceed. For example:<br>Required Amount: 100 USDT</p>
<h4 id="h_01JNDHBR0QTGD0KCD1DRR09PYM"><strong>Step 2: Add Funds to Your Exchange</strong></h4>
<ol>
<li>Log in to your exchange account.</li>
<li>Click the "Deposit" button.</li>
<li>Select your preferred currency and deposit method, then follow the provided instructions to deposit an equivalent of 100 USDT.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Note</strong>: The deposit process and button names may vary slightly depending on the exchange you are using. If you have any difficulties, we recommend referring to the official documentation of your exchange for detailed guidance.</p>
<h4 id="h_01JNDHBR0QD8W6WDMSNVWK0XX3"><strong>Step 3: Wait for Automatic Execution</strong></h4>
<p>Once the necessary funds have been added to your exchange account, the DCA bot will automatically detect the updated balance.</p>
<p>Within approximately five minutes, the averaging order will be placed, and your bot will resume its operation without any additional steps required.</p>
