PROFIT LOCK
Text of the bot's built-in "How to use" guide.
What you need to know
Profit % is measured by the price change, without leverage. The bot checks each position every 4 seconds; the new stop is placed on Binance first, then the old one is removed.
While L1·L2·L3 is on, Trailing Stop and Limit Take Profit are not placed; Take Profit Net works in parallel. In the trial version L3 and Candle Trail are off.
Module
- Profit Lock is stop management that locks in a winning position's profit step by step.
- It has two modes: L1 · L2 · L3 Trail and Candle Trail. Only one works at a time.
- The module is INACTIVE right now: no profit protection is running.
Turning on
- We turn on L1 · L2 · L3 Trail. This switch also turns on the main switch.
- The module is now ACTIVE. Let's see what the six boxes do.
L1
- L1 activation 4: when the position's profit reaches 4%, the first stop is placed. Before that there is no stop.
- L1 trail 2: the stop is placed 2 points behind the profit. 4 − 2 = stop at entry +2%.
- Example: entry 100. When the price hits 104, the stop is set at 102. Even if the price turns back, the position closes in profit.
L2
- L2 activation 8 · L2 trail 4: when profit reaches 8%, the stop moves to entry +4%.
- Example: at a price of 108, the stop rises from 102 to 104.
- L1 and L2 are fixed steps: the stop waits at these two points and does not move with the price.
L3
- L3 activation 12 · L3 trail 6: when profit reaches 12%, the stop follows the price step by step, always 6 points behind the profit.
- Example: 112 → stop 106 · 120 → stop 114.
- If the price falls from 120 to 116, the stop stays at 114. The stop only moves up, never back down.
- You set the values yourself. For example, let's type 3 into L1 activation.
- Now the stop is placed at 3% profit: 3 − 2 = entry +1%. The lock comes earlier, but the risk of being closed by a small wave grows.
- If you raise it, protection starts later and part of the profit can be given back. We go back to the default 4.
- The gap between activation and trail is the profit that gets locked. Minimums: activation at least 1, trail at least 0.5; a smaller value is corrected in the box.
- The ? on each row opens a live chart explanation of that setting. Let's open the one for L1 activation.
- A position opens on a real chart; you see step by step where the stop is placed when profit reaches L1 activation.
- We close the explanation and return to the panel. You can check the ? on each row yourself.
- The second mode: Candle Trail. We turn it on.
- L1 · L2 · L3 turned off by itself: the two modes never run together; whichever is on manages the stop.
- The rule: if a closed candle's Heikin Ashi low is above the entry price, the stop is placed at that low.
- As long as the low has not risen above the entry price, there is no stop.
- The stop is placed with a commission margin added, so the stop price is always above break-even.
- It repeats at every new candle close: as the lows rise, the stop rises and never comes down. In SHORT it mirrors: the candle's high.
- Which candle? In the open positions table you can choose a timeframe for the coin; if you don't, the signal's timeframe is used, otherwise the scan timeframe. Here it is 1m.
- Open positions under Candle Trail are listed here: coin, direction, timeframe, lock step and stop price.
- In short: L1·L2·L3 locks profit by percentage, Candle Trail by candle lows. Both only move the stop up.
