The AutoTrade.Enabled setting is the master switch for automatic trade execution in the Extreme Volatility Monitor.
Example configuration:
AutoTrade:
Enabled: true
โ๏ธ How It Works
When AutoTrade.Enabled = true:
- The bot will automatically open trades when the configured volatility thresholds (
Threshold,TradeTriggerOn, etc.) are met. - Trades will follow the configured direction (Reverse or Momentum), symbols, and initial amounts.
- Risk management settings such as Stop-Loss, Take-Profit, and DCA are applied to auto-trades.
When AutoTrade.Enabled = false:
- The bot will not open trades automatically, even if volatility exceeds the threshold.
- Existing trades continue to be managed normally.
- Alerts and emergency closes still function as configured.
๐ฏ Key Takeaways
Enables automatic entry
- Only controls whether trades are executed automatically.
Does not disable monitoring
- The volatility engine still calculates average movement.
- Pump or crash alerts are still sent.
Emergency protection still works
- Emergency closes are applied even if AutoTrade is disabled.
- Provides safety without opening new positions.
๐ Example Scenario
AutoTrade:
Enabled: false
Threshold: 1.8
TradeDirection: "Reverse"
- Market moves 2% in 1 minute โ exceeds Threshold
- No trades are opened because AutoTrade is disabled
- Telegram/Discord alerts are sent
- Existing positions may still be closed if emergency close conditions are met
๐ Summary
AutoTrade.Enabled toggles automatic trading during extreme volatility:
- โ True โ Trades are executed automatically
- โ False โ No auto-trades, but alerts and emergency close protections remain active
It allows you to monitor and protect your positions without committing to automatic entries.
