How it works
- A Touch contract pays if price reaches the barrier at any point, not only where it finishes.
- That makes movement the thing worth measuring, so the bot averages the tick-to-tick move over a window.
- Moving more than the busy level buys Touch, on the reading that the barrier is within reach.
- Moving less buys No Touch instead, backing the barrier to hold.
- The barrier is an offset from the entry spot, so the setting keeps working as the index drifts.
- Average tick movement
- Barrier offset from entry
- Two-sided: Touch or No Touch
- 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.
