How it works
- A Touch contract wins if price reaches the barrier at any point before the contract ends.
- The bot walks back through recent history in blocks the same length as the contract.
- For each block it measures how far price climbed from the start of that block.
- It then counts what share of those blocks reached the barrier distance.
- A high share buys Touch, and a low one buys No Touch.
- Measures past windows directly
- Counts how many reached the barrier
- Buys either side
- Loss cooldown
- Martingale with cap
Staking
It ships with a 2.1x martingale, sized to win back a losing run of up to 3 trades inside its stop loss, with a max stake of 5. Untick Use martingale on its card to stake the same amount on every trade.
