📈 MomentumRising + choppy markets · ✅ passed its test
🧪 Momentum test potOn = momentum trades from its OWN pot with its own balance: trade size = pot ÷ coins at once (£10,000 ÷ 5 = £2,000), buys any time a coin slot is free, Bitcoin's trend decides (no market-mood gate), no daily loss limit. The strategy pot keeps breakout etc. separate.
⚡ Scalp potIts own pot. Watches every coin breakout or momentum buys and scalps the big rises and falls: buys, sells at the £ target below, buys back after a 5% fall (or chases a 5% run), 8% stop. Paper only.
📐 Scalp rulesZones: buys at a support zone that holds (or a breakout through resistance on strong volume), stop just under the floor, sells at the next resistance zone, only when it can win at least as much as it risks. Fixed: £ target below and 5% steps.
🎯 Scalp profit targetProfit after fees on each £2,000 scalp before it sells.
📉 Short pullback (paper only)Falling markets · sells rallies in downtrends · ❌ failed its test. Never places real orders.
📉 Short momentum (paper only)Falling markets · shorts the weakest coins for days · ❓ backtest first. Never places real orders.
🔢 Momentum coins at onceHow many coins momentum can hold together (short momentum uses the same number). More coins = more trades.
🔍 Look further down the listIf a top coin is blocked (too jumpy, or sold today), the bot can skip it and buy the next good coin further down the ranking.
💰 Reinvest profitsHow much closed profit goes back into the pot. Losses always come off in full. (Shared with the other pots.)
📈 How the pot growsBigger trades: each trade grows with the pot (most profit in the backtest). More trades: keeps the trade size and adds trades up to 10, then trades grow (safer for small coins).
💷 Momentum trade sizeSafe: each trade risks £50, so wide stops make smaller trades (£500-£800). Full: every trade uses the full trade size — bigger wins AND bigger losses.
💥 Breakout trade sizeSafe: each breakout trade risks £50 (about £900 a trade). Full: every breakout trade uses the full trade size (e.g. £2,000) — bigger wins AND bigger losses.
Momentum versionv2 adds "coin's own trend must be up" and "rank by gain ÷ volatility". ⭐ v3 = v2 + all lessons: keeps coins when Bitcoin dips, wider stop, only buys coins with higher highs + higher lows. Best 36-month backtest.

Maximum downside

Catastrophic stop loss

−£20

Immediately exits an individual paper position when its projected net loss after fees reaches this cash limit.

Profit protection

Trailing stop distance

£5

Sets the cash distance behind the best net profit reached. Existing adaptive logic may tighten this distance, but never widen it beyond your selection.

Aggressive paper trial

RAPID SCALP

OFF

Runs an independently labelled paper trial. An opportunity router selects a regime strategy or the MACD pullback strategy; no setup is forced through one universal strategy.

Fee-aware payoff

Reward : risk ratio

2:1

The selected maximum loss is the net risk. At −£10 risk and 2:1, the fee-aware target is +£20 net. The adaptive profit trail activates at +£3 net, protects at least +£2, and raises that protection as profits grow.

Example: £10,000 pot, £1,000 per trade and 10 slots. Capital, re-entry, loss and portfolio circuit breakers remain active.

Strategy mode · trend pullback

Profit trail

ON

When on, once a trade is up by its risk amount (+1R, usually £25–£50) the stop follows the price at the distance chosen below and only ever moves up. Half is still taken at 2R. When off, the stop stays at its original level until the 2R take-profit. Applies to open trades immediately.

Trail distance: how far behind the price the stop follows once the trade is +1R. Closer keeps more of a winner's peak but gets stopped out by normal wobbles more often. Test them in the Backtest Lab ("Same entries, different exits") before changing.

Each slot gets an equal share of the strategy pot (e.g. £10,000 ÷ 5 = up to £2,000 per trade), and each trade risks about 0.5% of the pot. The old "Trailing stop distance" above applies only to the previous strategy rules, not to trend-pullback trades.

Increase either automated pot and save it with the audited settings. Resetting a single pot starts that pot at £10,000 and clears only its current accounting-period P&L; trade history is preserved.

Its editable balance and exposure controls are in the RAPID SCALP panel above.

📈 How the test pots growEvery test pot (momentum, breakout, short, scalp) reinvests its own profit. More trades: £10k ÷ 5 = £2k trades; at £12k it can hold 6 trades of £2k (up to 10), then trades get bigger. Bigger trades: always 5 trades, each = pot ÷ 5 (£12k → £2.4k).

Test pots (momentum, breakout, short, scalp) keep their open trades when reset; those finish normally. The scalp and strategy pots refuse a reset while they have an open position. Rapid scalp also requires its configured trade exposure to fit inside £10,000. Resetting does not delete trades, affect another pot, or enable live trading.
