DCA Stop Loss

Stop Loss

Risk

Off by default. Closes the current cycle at market.

When armed, the engine checks every : once price moves the against the cycle's average entry, it cancels the resting and the take-profit and closes the position with a reduce-only market order.

!
Caution:Unlike the 's one-way stop, a DCA stop ends only the cycle. After the cooldown a fresh cycle opens at the new price, unless is reached. Use max cycles = 1 for a stop that ends the .
  • Place the stop beyond the ladder coverage, or the deepest can never fill (the ladder marks them “beyond stop”).
  • Because it follows the average, the stop moves toward the market as fill.
