Band Stretch
Waits for price to break out of its own volatility channel, then bets on the barrier.

- Pace
- Longer scans. Price sits inside the Bollinger channel most of the time, and this bot only trades the breakouts, so expect long gaps. Lower the band deviation to widen what counts as a breakout.
How it works
- Bollinger Bands draw a channel whose width is the market’s own recent volatility.
- Price breaking above the upper band means it can cover ground, and is covering it upward.
- That buys Touch, on the reading that the barrier overhead is now within reach.
- Breaking below the lower band is the same energy pointed away from the barrier, so it buys No Touch.
- Inside the channel the bands say nothing either way and the bot waits.
- Bollinger channel
- Breakout entries only
- Barrier offset from entry
- Loss cooldown
- Martingale with cap
Staking
