Can I use manual trades for dip-buy strategies?

Yes, manual trades in MagicTradeBot are ideal for dip-buy and retracement-based strategies. They allow you to predefine trades that execute only when specific price conditions are met, making them perfect for structured entry planning.

1️⃣ How It Works

  • You can set a manual trade with:

    • Price: 0 → Use the current market price as a reference.
    • ExecuteThresholdPerfect → Specify the percentage dip required before execution.
  • The bot monitors the symbol and executes the trade only after the price drops by your defined threshold, capturing a better entry point for your position.

2️⃣ Example

- Symbol: ETHUSDT
  Direction: Long
  Amount: 1000
  Price: 0
  ExecuteThresholdPerfect: 5   # Execute only after a 5% dip
  • Here, the bot waits for a 5% price drop relative to the current market price before entering a long position.

3️⃣ Benefits for Dip-Buy Strategies

  • Controlled entry: Ensures you buy at favorable levels instead of chasing the market.
  • Automated monitoring: Eliminates the need to constantly watch for dips manually.
  • Flexible sizing: Combine with Amount to scale positions based on confidence or risk tolerance.
  • Supports volatility strategies: You can define deeper dips (10–20%) for accumulation during high-volatility periods.

4️⃣ Best Practices

  • Set thresholds according to market volatility and the symbol’s typical price swings.
  • Use smaller thresholds for minor dips and larger thresholds for major retracements.
  • Combine with stop-loss and risk management rules to protect capital if the dip continues further.

Pro Tip

Manual trades are like a smart dip-buy assistant: they let you automatically capture favorable retracements without reacting emotionally, ensuring structured entries at your predefined price levels.
