Higher Low Structure
Checks whether each dip is stopping higher than the dip before it.
- Contract
- Higher/Lower
- Default market
- Volatility 100 Index
- Pace
- Longer scans. It waits for a dip that stops above the one before it, which is a step up rather than any upward drift. Shorten the window to trade more often.
How it works
- The oldest definition of an uptrend is that each dip stops higher than the last one.
- The bot splits its recent history in half and finds the lowest price in each.
- A newer low sitting above the older one is that structure, and it buys Higher.
- Anything else, including rallies that stop lower than the one before, is left alone.
- A moving average can rise while the lows fall, which is the market this filter avoids.
- Buys Higher only
- Compares two halves of history
- Reads lows and highs, not averages
- Needs a clear step up
- 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.

Every number here can be changed on the card before you press Run bot.
Contract
| Setting | Default | Range |
|---|---|---|
| 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 |
|---|---|---|
| Half window (ticks)How many ticks each of the two halves covers. | 25 | 5–100 |
| Step neededHow many barrier widths the newer low must sit above the older one. | 1 | 0.1–5 |
| 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 |
