The Threshold setting defines the minimum average market movement (in percentage) required to trigger an automatic trade in the Extreme Volatility Monitor.
Example configuration:
AutoTrade:
Threshold: 1.8
This means:
- The bot will only open auto-trades when the average price movement exceeds 1.8%.
- Movements below this value may trigger alerts, but no trades are executed automatically.
โ๏ธ How It Works
- The system calculates the average movement across the configured number of candles (see
Candles). If the movement is greater than or equal to Threshold:
Auto-Trade executes a trade according to the configured:
- TradeDirection (Reverse / Momentum)
- TradeTriggerOn (Pump / Crash / Both)
- Symbols
- InitialAmount
If the movement is below Threshold:
- No auto-trade is placed.
- Alerts may still be broadcast if
AverageMovementPercentis exceeded.
๐ฏ Key Points
Must be higher than alert thresholds (
AverageMovementPercent)- Ensures the bot only trades during strong, meaningful volatility
- Avoids false entries from minor price swings
Controls when the bot reacts automatically rather than just sending alerts.
Works in conjunction with Stop-Loss, Take-Profit, and DCA for risk-managed auto-trading.
๐ Example Scenario
- Alert Threshold: 1.2% (
AverageMovementPercent) - Auto-Trade Threshold: 1.8% (
Threshold)
Scenario:
Market moves +1.3% โ Exceeds alert threshold
- Telegram/Discord alert sent
- No auto-trade because Threshold not reached
Market moves +2.0% โ Exceeds both alert and auto-trade thresholds
- Alert sent
- Auto-trade executed automatically according to configuration
๐ Summary
Threshold in Auto-Trade is the minimum volatility percentage required to trigger an automatic trade:
- Ensures trades only occur during significant market moves
- Must be higher than alert thresholds
- Works with trade direction, symbols, and risk settings for fully automated execution
It is the key setting that distinguishes alerts from actual auto-trades.
