What does SkipSymbol do?

The SkipSymbol setting controls whether the Money Management progression is tracked independently per trading symbol or globally across all symbols.

In simple terms, it determines whether each symbol has its own sequence progression or whether all symbols share one common progression state.

🔹 Configuration

SkipSymbol: true

1️⃣ SkipSymbol: true → Per-Symbol Progression (Recommended)

When set to:

SkipSymbol: true

Each symbol tracks its own independent progression in the Sequence.

Example:

If you are trading:

  • BTCUSDT
  • ETHUSDT
  • SOLUSDT

And BTC experiences 3 losses in a row, only BTC moves forward in the sequence.

ETH and SOL remain unaffected.

Benefits:

  • Prevents cross-contamination between assets
  • Protects stable symbols from volatile ones
  • More accurate performance-based scaling
  • Safer for multi-symbol portfolios

This is strongly recommended when running multiple pairs or strategies simultaneously.

2️⃣ SkipSymbol: false → Global Progression

When set to:

SkipSymbol: false

All symbols share a single progression state.

Example:

If BTC loses:

  • The sequence moves forward.

Then if ETH trades next:

  • It uses the increased multiplier from BTC’s loss.

This means one symbol’s outcome directly impacts the position size of another symbol.

Risks:

  • A volatile pair can increase risk for the entire account
  • Losing streak in one asset affects all assets
  • Exposure can escalate unexpectedly

This approach is generally more aggressive.

🔹 Why This Setting Matters

In multi-symbol trading, markets behave differently:

  • Some assets trend strongly
  • Some remain sideways
  • Some experience sudden volatility spikes

With global progression (false), one unstable symbol can push the entire account into higher exposure levels.

With per-symbol tracking (true), risk remains isolated.

🔹 When to Use Each Option

Use SkipSymbol: true if:

  • You trade multiple symbols
  • You run diversified strategies
  • You want safer capital allocation
  • You want symbol-level performance scaling

Use SkipSymbol: false if:

  • You trade only one symbol
  • You intentionally want account-wide recovery logic
  • You fully understand cross-symbol exposure risk

🔹 Practical Example

Assume:

Sequence: [1, 2, 4, 8]
Mode: 0

With SkipSymbol: true

BTC → Loss → moves to 2 ETH → starts at 1

With SkipSymbol: false

BTC → Loss → moves to 2 ETH → next trade uses multiplier 2

Risk increases globally.

✅ Key Takeaway

SkipSymbol determines whether risk progression is isolated or shared.

  • true → Independent per symbol (safer, recommended)
  • false → Shared globally (higher risk, faster recovery potential)

For most multi-symbol crypto trading setups, keeping:

SkipSymbol: true

is the more stable and professional approach.
