Moving Average and
Sliding Blockchain.
Two strategies built on the same foundation. Both open a position, follow it down with a cover ladder, and book profit on every order that reaches its target.
What separates them is what happens to the profit they set aside — and that single difference changes how a difficult position gets rescued.
The configuration is identical for both.
You choose the same things either way. Pick the strategy last, once you know how you want the position handled if the market keeps falling.
The basics
Exchange, coin, and the capital you want the bot to work with.
You setExchange and quote currency, the trading pair, total capital assigned, and the initial order as a percentage of that capital.
Taking profit
When each order sells at the preset percentages.
You setTake-profit percentage, and a profit retracement that lets a rising move run before the order closes.
The cover ladder
Every follow-up order, configured individually.
You setGap percentage, pullback, order type, and how much of that order’s profit goes into the tank.
Every sale feeds a tank.
When an order reaches its target and sells, it does not hand you all of the profit. A percentage you set is held back in a tank — a pot of realised profit the bot keeps in reserve.
The tank exists to solve the hardest problem in averaging down: a position whose average price has drifted far above the market. Rather than waiting and hoping for a recovery large enough to rescue it, the bot spends accumulated profit to close the gap itself.
Both strategies fill the tank the same way. They spend it differently.
Illustration of the tank logic. Not live market data, and not a performance claim.
One closes the session. The other closes the worst order.
Same position, same tank, two different ways of spending it. The worked examples below use identical numbers so you can see what actually changes.
Moving Average — the tank closes the whole session
The tank is saved until it can end the entire session in net profit, in one move.
- Your average holding price across the session is $10.00, and the market is around $8.00.
- To close the session at 2% net profit you would need to sell at $10.20 — which is $2.20 above where the market actually is.
- You are holding 10 units, so bridging that gap needs 10 × $2.20 = $22.00.
- While the bot runs, every order that sells at its target contributes part of its profit — say 10% — into the tank.
- The moment the tank reaches $22.00, the bot closes the whole session in net profit and starts again from scratch.
Sliding Blockchain — the tank closes the oldest order
The tank is spent as soon as it can retire the single worst order, again and again.
- Same position. The average is $10.00, but the oldest order sits at $14.00 — that is what is dragging the average up.
- To retire that order at 2% you would need $14.28, against a market at $8.00 — a gap of $6.28.
- That order holds 3 units, so it needs 3 × $6.28 = $18.84.
- Once the tank reaches $18.84, the bot marks that oldest order as closed and removes it from the position.
- The worst order is gone, so the remaining average drops sharply — and the session carries on from a much stronger footing.
Which suits you
Moving Average aims for clean, complete sessions — it ends the whole thing and resets. Sliding Blockchain keeps the session running but continually removes its worst part, which pulls the average down far more aggressively when a position has drifted a long way from the market.
Worth knowingSliding Blockchain usually needs less in the tank for its first action, because retiring one order costs less than rescuing the entire session. The trade-off is that a session may stay open longer.
