Pivot strategy

1 Allocation
This setting allows the user to run the Pivot Strategy on coins that they are currently holding long term without having the bot sell them off. After creating the new pivot, set this value to 0 and the Pivot Strategy will ignore all held coins before that point. If you are not holding any coins that you want to keep, leave this value alone. Although we give this feature, it is always advised to store held coins in a separate wallet from the exchange you are using Automation.

Example: 1 0

The above entry will hide currently owned coins from the bot and prevent their sell while the pivot strategy is active.

2 Position
Allows the user to manually enter their current position if necessary. If you already have the Base currency and want the bot to sell it, you can manually input its weighted average. If you do not own any of the currency, this value will automatically be calculated by the bot.

Example: 2 .10

In a XRP/BTC market, the above example would set your position to .10 BTC.

3 Active
Toggles the Pivot Pair on or off. Please Note:Default is false which means the Pivot will not start. You need to set this to Active in order for the strategy to run. This is how you start each pivot, individually.

Example: 3

4 Establishing Amount (1pos)
This setting establishes your 1 position value. This will be the starting value the bot buys when you first initiate the bot and after every time the bot sells and starts over.

Example: 4 .001

In a NEO/BTC market, the above entry will set your position size to .001 BTC. Once the bot is activated, it will buy this amount.

5 Buy Mode
Toggles between Multiplier and Amount modes. In Multiplier mode, you can set the bot to multiply your position by X amount each time the bot allocates. In Amount mode, you can set the bot to buy a user specified amount each time the bot  allocates.

Example: 5

6 Allocation Margin Schedule
This sets the percent value your position needs to drop before the bot is allowed to open a new buy order. This can be set to one value or multiple values by listing them X,X,X without any spaces in between.

Example: 6 15

The above entry will set the percent your position has to decrease before it will initiate a new buy order to 15%

Example: 6 5,10,15

The above entry will set the bot to buy after a 5% drop in value, followed by a 10% drop in value, followed by a 15% drop in value. If the coins value makes it to the last value, it will stay at that value until the bot sells. When it sells, it will reset and start back at 5% drop in value.

7 Allocation Multiplier Schedule/Allocation Amount Schedule
This sets the desired position multiplier or amount schedules. This can be set to one value or multiple values by listing them X,X,X without any spaces in between.

Example for Multiplier Mode: 7 2

The above entry will set your Pivot to buy 2x your position when the bot allocates(buys).

Example for Multiplier Mode: 7 1,2,3.5

The above entry will schedule the bot to buy 1x your position on the first allocation, 2x your position on the second allocation, and 3.5x your position on the third and all other following allocations.

* Example for Amount Mode: 7 .001,.002,.003

The above entry will schedule the bot to buy .001 worth of the coin on the first buy, .002 on the second, and .003 on the third and all other following allocations.

8 Time Between Buys
This sets the minimum time required for the bot to open new buy orders (format is T00H00M for hours and minutes). This setting is optional and is meant to slow down buys in the event of a rapid drop in a coins value.

Example: 8 T10M

The above entry will limit the bot from being able to create new buy orders until 10 minutes pass from the previous buy

Example 8 T00M

The above entry will have no restriction to how often the bot is allowed to buy.

Example: 8 T01H15M

The above entry will limit the bot from being able to create new buy order until 1 hour and 15 minutes pass from the previous buys

9 Trail Stop Mode
This setting toggles buying trails on and off. Trailing Stops allow the bot to follow the momentum of the market to find better buy prices. If turned off, the bot will buy the moment it hits the Allocation Margin Schedule.

Example: 9

10 Trail Stop Percent
If Trail Stop Mode is toggled on, this will allow the bot to follow momentum of the market beyond the specified Allocation Margin Schedule until it reverses direction by this set percent value.

Example: 10 .2

The above entry will set the Trail Stop Mode to .2%. If the coin's value continues past the Allocation Margin Schedule, the bot will follow the value down the market until its value increase by .2% before initiating a buy order.

11 Buying Order Mode
Toggles between Limit and Market orders (locked to Limit Orders on most exchanges)

Example: 11

12 Maker Taker Mode
This toggles between Maker and Taker modes. For Allocation, Maker mode will place a new buy order at the top of  Bids side of the orderbook and will need to be filled by another trader. Taker mode will buy from the the lowest ask price in the Asks side of the orderbook.

Example: 12

13 Distribution Margin
This sets the percent value your position needs to increase before the bot is allowed to open a sell order.

Example: 13 5

The above entry will set the percent your position’s value has to increase before opening a sell order to 5%

14 Trail Stop Mode
This setting toggles selling trails on and off. Trailing Stops allow the bot to follow the momentum of the market to find a better price. If turned off, the bot will sell the moment it hits the Distribution Margin. Example: 14

15 Trail Stop Percent
If Trail Stop Mode is toggled on, this will allow the bot to follow momentum of the market beyond the specified Distribution Margin percent  until it reverses direction by this set percent value.

Example: 15 .2

The above entry will set the Trail Stop Mode to .2%. If the coin's value continues past the Distribution Margin, the bot will follow the value up the market until its value decreases by .2% before initiating a buy order.

16 Selling Order Mode
Toggles between Limit and Market orders (locked to Limit Orders on most exchanges)

Example: 16

17 Maker Taker Mode
This toggles between Maker and Taker modes. For Distribution, Maker mode will place a new sell order at the top of Asks side of the orderbook and will need to be filled by another trader. Taker mode will sell to the highest bid price in the Bids side of the orderbook.

Example: 17

Maker mode will create a new lowest ask order, TAKER mode will fill the current highest bid order
