Countertrading

Countertrading watches for sudden price spikes or drops within your detection window. When the price change exceeds your threshold, it opens a position betting against the move—buying after sharp drops or selling after sharp spikes.

Settings

Detection Window (minutes): The time period used to measure price movements. A shorter window catches quick spikes but may react to normal volatility. A longer window focuses on more significant moves but responds slower.

Price Change Threshold (%): The minimum price change needed to trigger a trade. A lower threshold means more frequent trades on smaller moves. A higher threshold waits for more extreme movements.

Position Size (% of capital): How much of your capital is used for each countertrade. Larger positions mean bigger potential profits or losses per signal.

Note: Positions don't have a fixed exit point. Instead, exposure is reduced when aggressive price movements occur in the opposite direction, triggering countertrades that offset existing positions.
