Settings Button

This tab contains several blocks for core configuration when trading manually without using Manual strategies, as well as additional settings that affect strategy behavior.

Analyse coins on startup

If the "Analyse coins on startup" box is ticked, historical data for all coins is downloaded from the exchange when the terminal starts up. The last 1000 trades for each coin are downloaded.

Based on this data, charts are generated for a short period prior to the terminal’s launch, and thereafter, whilst Moonbot is running, all new trades for all coins continue to be displayed in real time until the next restart.

"Stop and Trailing settings" Settings Zone

Stop Loss: sell if price < [actual buy] ± X%

If the "Stop Loss: sell if price < [actual buy] ± X%" option is ticked, a stop-loss line will be placed on the coin"s chart when you buy it manually without using the Manual strategy. If you untick this option, no stop-loss line will be placed and the trade will open without a stop-loss. 

The slider below allows you to set the desired stop-loss value within a range of –20% to +1%. For example, if you set the value to –5%, then after buying the coin, the stop-loss will be set at a distance of –5% from the purchase price. The setting of this parameter depends on the type of stop-losses you are used to working with. Some prefer short stops at –1%, whilst others prefer deeper stops depending on the coin"s volatility, to avoid the stop being triggered during short-term dips and subsequent upward retracements.

⚠️ Please note that the stop-loss line is only displayed in the Moonbot terminal — with this setting, no actual stop order is placed on the exchange. The position closure mechanism works as follows: as soon as the coin’s price crosses the stop-loss line in the terminal, its internal algorithm activates Panic Sell mode, and the position is closed immediately at the market price. If the terminal is closed, this stop-loss will not be triggered.

Trailing Stop: sell if price drops < [peak] -Х%

If the box next to the "Trailing Stop: sell if price drops < [peak] -X%" option is ticked, then after manually buying a coin without using the Manual strategy, the trailing stop will be activated; its setting works in conjunction with the "Take Profit: [actual buy] +X%" setting.

The slider below allows you to set the desired trailing stop value within a range of -10% to -0.1% – this is the level at which it will be maintained relative to the peak price.

It is best to use a trailing stop when a coin is rising steadily over a long period without any sharp drops. A trailing stop is usually activated once the coin has risen by at least +1%. It is not advisable to set a trailing stop at less than +1%, as in this case trades will frequently be closed by the trailing stop due to minor price fluctuations.

Take Profit: [actual buy] +Х%

If the box next to the "Take Profit: [actual buy] +X%" option is ticked, the trailing stop line will not appear immediately, but only once the specified take profit level for the coin has been reached. The slider below allows you to set the desired take profit value for trailing within a range of +0.5% to +10%.

If you do not tick the box next to this option, the trailing stop line will appear on the chart immediately after the coin is purchased at the level you have selected.

This setting only works in conjunction with the "Trailing Stop: sell if price drops < [peak] -X%" setting.

Example 1.

The "Trailing Stop: sell if price drops < [peak] -X%" checkbox is ticked, and the slider below is set to -2%.

The "Take Profit: [actual buy] +X%" checkbox is not ticked.

In this case, immediately after purchasing the coin, a trailing stop line will appear on the chart at -2% of the purchase price.

If the price rises after purchase, the trailing stop line will also rise by +0.1% for every +0.1% increase in price. In other words, if the price has risen by +2% since purchase, the trailing stop line will move up from -2% to 0% of the purchase price.

If the price continues to rise further and, for example, reaches +3%, the trailing stop line will also rise higher, remaining at a distance of -2% from the current price and ending up at +1% of the purchase price.

When the price falls and the distance to the trailing stop line decreases, the trailing stop line remains in place. As soon as the price crosses the trailing stop line, a Panic Sell is automatically triggered to close the position.

Example 2.

The "Trailing Stop: sell if price drops < [peak] -X%" checkbox is ticked, and the slider below is set to -2%.

The "Take Profit: [actual buy] +X%" checkbox is not ticked.

In this case, immediately after purchasing the coin, a trailing stop line will appear on the chart at -2% of the purchase price.

If the price rises after purchase, the trailing stop line will also rise by +0.1% for every +0.1% increase in price. In other words, if the price has risen by +2% since purchase, the trailing stop line will move up from -2% to 0% of the purchase price.

If the price continues to rise further and, for example, reaches +3%, the trailing stop line will also rise higher, remaining at a distance of -2% from the current price and ending up at +1% of the purchase price.

When the price falls and the distance to the trailing stop line decreases, the trailing stop line remains in place. As soon as the price crosses the trailing stop line, a Panic Sell is automatically triggered to close the position.

⚠ Important! You cannot move the trailing stop line using the mouse. Once the price reaches the take-profit level, the trade will be closed and the trailing stop line will disappear from the coin’s chart for that trade.

Add ± X% to trailing per each % of price

The "Add ± X% to trailing per each % of price" slider allows you to adjust the distance between the trailing stop line and the current price by a certain percentage for every 1% increase in the coin"s price. The slider value can be adjusted within a range of -0.5% to +2.0%.

If a negative value is set using the slider, the trailing stop line will decrease its distance from the current price as the price rises.

If a zero value is set using the slider, the trailing stop line will maintain a fixed distance from the current price as the price rises.

If a positive value is set using the slider, the trailing stop line will increase its distance from the current price as the price rises.

Example.

The "Trailing Stop: sell if price drops < [peak] -X%" checkbox is ticked and the slider below is set to -1%.

The "Take Profit: [actual buy] +X%" tickbox is not ticked.

The "Add ± X% to trailing per each % of price" slider is set to +0.1%.

Then, after the price rises by +1%, the trailing stop line will be positioned not at -1%, but at -1.1% from the current market price.

If the price rises by +10%, the trailing stop line will be at a distance of not -1%, but -2% from the current market price.

This parameter is used for highly volatile coins, where the size of pullbacks increases in proportion to the price rise, and the distance between the trailing stop line and the current market price needs to be adjusted proportionally.

As a default setting, it is recommended to leave the value at 0.00% and then experiment, depending on your trading algorithm and experience with the trading platform.

⚠ Please note! This setting in the main settings also affects the trailing behaviour in the strategy settings.

V-Stop: sell if BID volume at [buy] ±X% drops

Using the slider "V-Stop: sell if BID volume at [buy] ±X% drops", which can be adjusted within a range of -10% to +10%, sets the level in the BID order book at which volume will be monitored; if the volume falls below the set level, Panic Sell is triggered to close the position immediately at market price. In effect, this is a feature of Vstop (volume-based stop).

First, you need to place a Buy order or buy the coin directly at market price; then, click the Order button located on the right-hand control panel of the main terminal window, or right-click on the relevant order and select "Order" from the menu.

This will open the "Active Order" window for managing the order settings.

Click on the "VStop" label to set it to "ON".

To the right, you can leave the "Global [Buy -X%]" value that we set in the main settings, or you can tick the "Fixed" box further to the right and enter a specific coin price in the field to the right.

Then, in the "Vol. <" field, specify the required volume in the pair"s currency below which the Panic Sell will be triggered; for example, for the USDT pair, you can specify a value of 100,000 USDT.

Example.

VStop: ON

Global [Buy -1.5%]

The “Fixed” checkbox is not ticked

Vol. < 100,000 USDT

As soon as a coin is purchased, the terminal begins to monitor volumes in the BID order book.

Based on our "Global [Buy-1.5%]" settings, the terminal monitors volumes in the BID order book at a distance of -1.5% from our buy price.

As soon as the volume in the BID order book at this level falls below the 100,000 USDT threshold we have set, Panic Sell is triggered and the position will be closed at market price.

“Auto Sell If partial buy > Х%” или “Auto Sell: NEVER”

This setting determines the percentage of a Buy order that must be filled before a Sell order is placed.

Using the slider, you can set values between 1% and 99% in 1% increments, or select the "Auto Sell: NEVER" option.

• If you move the slider to the far-right position "Auto Sell: NEVER", a sell order will only be placed once the buy order has been fully filled.

• If you move the slider to the left, for example, to "Auto Sell If partial buy > 50%", then when half of the order is filled, the remaining portion will be cancelled, and the coins already purchased will immediately be put up for sale via a sell order.

Example.
If you have placed an order for $1,000 and, following a sharp downward price movement, only $500 of it has been filled, then with the threshold set to "Auto Sell If partial buy > 50%", a sell order will be placed for $500, and the remaining $500 will be returned to your balance.

Рекомендуемые значения:

• For small orders, you can set the slider to "Auto Sell: NEVER".

• For medium orders, you can set the slider to "Auto Sell If partial buy > 60–70%".

• For large orders, you can set the slider to "Auto Sell If partial buy > 25–40%".

Furthermore, if the "Auto Sell: NEVER" setting is enabled and the order has only been partially filled, you can manually click the "Cancel Buy" button in the main terminal window. The unfilled portion of the order will then be cancelled, and the coins that have been purchased will automatically be listed for sale via a Sell order.

"Auto cancel BUY after N seconds/minutes" or "Auto cancel BUY: NEVER"

This setting is used to automatically cancel an order if the price has risen and the order has not been filled.

If you use the slider to set a time interval in seconds (from 2 to 29 seconds) or minutes (from 1 to 30 minutes), the Buy order will be automatically cancelled after the selected time has elapsed since it was placed.

If the slider is set to the far-right position "Auto cancel BUY: NEVER", the Buy order can only be cancelled manually.

This setting applies when you buy a coin via the Buy button or by pressing the Enter key.

If a Buy order is placed by clicking on the order book, this setting does not apply.

Cancel buys on sell fills

If you tick the "Cancel buys on sell fills" box, then when placing multiple orders, if one of the orders is filled and the corresponding sell order is closed, all remaining buy orders for that coin will be automatically cancelled.

If the box is unticked, the remaining buy orders will not be cancelled and will remain in the order book.

Fit sell order in best place in the order book

If you tick the "Fit sell order in best place in the order book" box, the terminal will be able to adjust the sell order price slightly.

Immediately after a buy order is executed, the terminal analyses the sell order book.

It may be the case that there is a large wall in this order book; in this instance, Moonbot will adjust the sell price downwards, below this wall.

Conversely, if there are no walls at all near the specified price, the terminal will move the price up to the nearest safe level.

The range within which the terminal can move the price is ±20% of the specified sell price level, expressed as a percentage.

For example, if you set the following in the settings: "Sell for [actual buy price] +10%", the terminal will be able to adjust the price within a range of +8% to +12% with this setting.

This feature therefore allows you to sell coins more quickly when there are large walls in the order book.

It is recommended that you enable this setting to increase the likelihood of a successful Sell order.

Black List

Если установлена галочка Черный Список, то все монеты, вписанные через запятую без пробелов в поле Черный Список, будут занесены в глобальный чёрный список. На этих монетах будет запрещено срабатывать всем стратегиям: не будет детектов и, соответственно, выставления ордеров.

Exclude from delta

Если установить галочку Исключить из дельт, то монеты из чёрного списка будут исключены из расчета рыночных дельт. PAXG всегда исключен из расчета.

Dont buy newly added coins M minutes / H hours

Using the "Don't buy newly added coins M minutes / H hours" slider, you can set a time period in minutes (from 0 to 60 minutes) or hours (from 2 to 37 hours) during which the terminal will not buy new coins that have recently been listed on the exchange.

Exchanges periodically add new coins to the exchange, and in the first few minutes or hours after listing, new coins often exhibit abnormal volatility. If you do not yet have experience trading on listings or your strategies are not adapted to high volatility, this may lead to losses.

We recommend that beginners set the slider to the far right position "37 hours" — to temporarily disable the purchase of new coins. Once you have gained experience trading on listings and set up appropriate strategies, you can move the slider to the far left position to allow trading immediately after a coin appears.

⚠️ Important! If you restart the terminal within these 37 hours, the settings will be reset, and the terminal will allow strategies to buy new coins, even if less time has elapsed since the listing. This is a feature of how the terminal works.

⚠️ Important! If IgnoreFilters=YES (ignore strategy filters) is set in the strategy on the Filters tab, the setting of this slider will be ignored, and the strategy will be able to buy a new coin as soon as it appears, regardless of the slider’s position.
