Vortex DCA (Dollar-Cost Averaging)

Best For

Accumulating positions during downtrends or volatile markets

How It Works

Vortex DCA places multiple buy orders at different price levels, creating a “grid” that catches price dips. As price falls, the bot accumulates more at better prices, lowering your average entry.
Current Price: $100

    $99  ├── BUY ORDER (small)
    $98  ├── BUY ORDER (medium)
    $97  ├── BUY ORDER (larger)
    $96  ├── BUY ORDER (largest)

    Average Entry: Better than $100!

Key Features

  • Geometric Grid Spacing: Orders spread wider as price moves further from entry
  • Auto-Rebalancing: Grid refreshes every 2-3 minutes to follow price
  • Position Recovery: Virtual chunking system rescues underwater positions
  • Auto-Hedging: Optional hedging when drawdown exceeds threshold

Perpetual Market Maker

Best For

Earning spread in sideways/ranging markets

How It Works

The Perp Market Maker acts like a professional market maker, placing both buy AND sell orders around the current price. You profit from the “spread” - the difference between bid and ask prices.
         ASK $100.05 ← SELL ORDER

    SPREAD ───┼─── You earn this!

         BID $99.95  ← BUY ORDER

Key Features

  • Two-Sided Quoting: Profits from any price movement
  • Whale Detection: Places orders near large support/resistance walls
  • Loss Management Tiers: Automatic risk reduction when losing
  • 50+ Advanced Signals: Trap detection, cascade hunting, velocity tracking

Risk Warning

Market making is complex. This strategy has 100+ configurable parameters. Start with a preset and small position sizes until you understand the behavior.

XGrid (Momentum Scalping)

Best For

Capturing momentum moves in volatile markets

How It Works

XGrid uses technical analysis (EMA crossovers, Donchian channels) to detect trend direction, then scalps with the trend for quick profits.
EMA 11 crosses ABOVE EMA 23?

    YES ─┴─ LONG SIGNAL


    Place BUY orders
    Quick TP at 0.3-0.5%

Key Features

  • Trend Detection: EMA 11/23 crossover with Donchian confirmation
  • Fast Execution: 30-second signal caching for quick entries
  • Volatility Filter: NATR ensures sufficient movement for profits
  • Peak/Trough Confirmation: Validates signals before entry
