What it's watching

Activity

Rules this bot always follows

    Words used here

    Paper money
    Pretend money. The prices are real, but no real shares are bought.
    Stop-loss
    A price set before every buy. If the stock falls to it, the bot sells to keep the loss small.
    Profit target
    A price set before buying where the bot takes its profit.
    Trailing stop
    A stop-loss that moves up as the price rises, so a winning trade keeps most of its gain when it turns.
    Risked
    What the trade would lose if the stop-loss is hit. "Made 2× what it risked" means it won twice that amount.
    Day's average price
    The average price everyone paid today (traders call it VWAP). Trading above it suggests buyers are in control.
    Short / longer trend
    Smoothed lines of the last 9 and 21 minutes of prices (EMA 9 and EMA 21). The short one above the longer one means the price is rising.
    Margin
    Borrowed buying power. The Aggressive bot can buy up to 4× its money, so gains and losses are bigger.
    Worst drop
    The biggest fall from a high point of the account to a later low.
