Risk management is a critical component of any successful trading strategy. The BATT Bot allows you to configure Stop Loss and Take Profit settings, which help protect your capital and secure profits when trading.
Step 1: Open the Configuration Page
- Launch the BATT Bot on your computer.
- Click the “Settings” button located in the top-right corner of the software. This will open the configuration page where you can modify various bot settings.
Step 2: Locate the Stop Loss and Take Profit Fields
-
On the Configuration Page, scroll down to the Risk Management section. This section is where you’ll configure your Stop Loss and Take Profit settings.
-
You should see two fields:
- Stop Loss Percentage (%)
- Take Profit Percentage (%)
Step 3: Set the Stop Loss Percentage
-
Stop Loss is an order placed to limit your losses. If the market moves against your position by a certain percentage, the Stop Loss will automatically trigger to close your position and limit the loss.
-
To set your Stop Loss Percentage, enter a value between 1 and 100. This value is based on the percentage of price movement from your entry price where you want the bot to close the position.
- For example, setting Stop Loss Percentage to 2 means that if the price moves 2% against your position, the bot will close the trade automatically.
-
Recommendation: A typical range for Stop Loss is 1-5%, but it depends on your risk tolerance and trading strategy.
Step 4: Set the Take Profit Percentage
-
Take Profit is an order placed to lock in profits when the market moves in your favor. Once the market reaches the specified profit target, the Take Profit will trigger and close your position to secure your gains.
-
To set your Take Profit Percentage, enter a value between 1 and 100. This value is based on the percentage of price movement from your entry price where you want the bot to close the position and lock in profits.
- For example, setting Take Profit Percentage to 5 means that if the price moves 5% in your favor, the bot will close the trade automatically and take the profits.
-
Recommendation: A typical range for Take Profit is 2-10%, depending on the market conditions and your trading strategy.
Step 5: Save Your Settings
Once you’ve entered your desired Stop Loss Percentage and Take Profit Percentage, click the “Save” button at the bottom of the configuration page to save your settings.
Step 6: Verify the Risk Management Settings
Once the settings are saved, the BATT Bot will use these values to determine when to trigger the Stop Loss and Take Profit for your trades. The bot will notify you of any updates in the System Logs section.
Important Notes:
- Stop Loss and Take Profit are Percentage-Based: The values you enter for Stop Loss and Take Profit are based on percentage movements from your entry price.
- Futures Leverage and Risk Management: Keep in mind that higher leverage increases both the potential profit and the potential loss. Properly setting your Stop Loss and Take Profit is even more critical when using high leverage.
- Regular Monitoring: While the BATT Bot will handle the automatic closing of trades based on the Stop Loss and Take Profit, it is always advisable to monitor the market regularly, especially during volatile periods.
How the Bot Uses Stop Loss and Take Profit:
- Stop Loss: Once the price reaches your Stop Loss Percentage threshold (e.g., -2%), the bot will automatically close the position, ensuring you don’t lose more than you’re willing to risk.
- Take Profit: When the price hits your Take Profit Percentage threshold (e.g., +5%), the bot will exit the trade to lock in the profit.
These settings work automatically and are an essential part of managing risk while trading.
