How it works
- Higher/Lower settles against a barrier away from the price you enter at, so the market has to travel.
- Bollinger Bands draw a channel, with a moving average through the middle of it.
- Price above that middle line is the trend, and the upper band is where moves have tended to run out.
- Between the two there is a trend with room left, and that is where the bot buys Higher.
- Below the middle line, or outside the channel entirely, it waits rather than buying.
- Buys Higher only
- Bollinger channel
- Trend from the middle band
- Stands aside at the edges
- 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.

|---|---|---|
| Duration (ticks)How many ticks each contract runs for. | 5 | 1–10 |
| Barrier offsetHow far from the entry spot the barrier sits. Further pays more and wins less often. | 0.8 | 0.1–20 |
Entry rules
| Setting | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Band periodHow many ticks the channel is measured over. | 20 | 5–100 |
| Band deviationHow many standard deviations out the bands sit. Wider bands leave more room to trade in. | 2 | 0.5–4 |
| Cooldown after a loss (ticks)The bot sits out this many ticks after a losing trade before it looks for a new entry. | 2 | 0–50 |
Stake progression
| Setting | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Initial stakeThe amount staked on the first trade of each sequence. | 1 | 0.35–1,000 |
| Martingale multiplier1 keeps the stake flat. Above 1 multiplies the stake after each loss. | 2.1 | 1–5 |
| Max stakeIf the progression pushes the stake past this, it resets to the initial stake. | 5 | 0.35–5,000 |
Session limits
