Engineering-grade strategy primitives

Each engine ships with explicit parameters, intended use cases, and the risks you should weigh before deploying capital.

DCA

DCA Bot

What it does

Splits an entry into a series of safety orders that average price as the market moves against you, with configurable take-profit ladders.

When it may help

Ranging markets, slow trends, accumulation phases on pairs you would hold anyway.

Main risks

Drawdown grows with deeper averaging. A persistent trend against position can lock capital for long periods.

Key parameters
  • Base order size
  • Safety order count & step %
  • Take-profit %
  • Trailing exit
Suitable for
Beginner / Intermediate
GRID

Grid Bot

What it does

Places automatic buy/sell orders along a price grid to capture intra-range volatility without taking a directional view.

When it may help

Sideways, mean-reverting markets with stable liquidity and tight spreads.

Main risks

If price breaks out of the grid range, unrealized loss accumulates and grid trades cease to fire.

Key parameters
  • Upper / lower bound
  • Grid count
  • Arithmetic vs geometric spacing
  • Stop-loss bound
Suitable for
Intermediate
AI

AI Strategy

What it does

Adaptive engine that detects market regime (trend / range / volatility cluster) and routes capital to the appropriate sub-strategy.

When it may help

Volatile, regime-shifting markets where a single static strategy underperforms.

Main risks

Model decay over time. Past regime distribution may not generalize. Requires monitoring and periodic retraining.

Key parameters
  • Model version
  • Regime sensitivity
  • Risk budget
  • Position sizing rule
Suitable for
Advanced
ARB

Arbitrage Engine

What it does

Monitors price dislocations across venues and routes orders to capture spread when execution cost permits.

When it may help

Liquid pairs across multiple exchanges with reliable connectivity and low latency.

Main risks

Fees, slippage and transfer latency can erase the spread. Capital lock-up across venues.

Key parameters
  • Venue pair
  • Min spread bps
  • Max position
  • Latency budget
Suitable for
Advanced
RISK

Risk Control Layer

What it does

Cross-strategy guardrails: stop-loss, position limits, volatility filters, liquidity checks and pause conditions applied above every bot.

When it may help

Always on. Acts as the safety net for all running strategies.

Main risks

Aggressive limits may pause profitable bots; loose limits weaken protection. Calibration matters.

Key parameters
  • Max daily drawdown
  • Per-bot exposure cap
  • Volatility ceiling
  • Auto-pause triggers
Suitable for
All users
/ ARCHITECTURE

From signal to execution

Every order flowing through A3 Ticker Pro passes through eight inspectable stages.

01
Market Data

Direct exchange WebSocket and REST feeds — order book, trades, funding.

02
Signal Engine

Indicators, ML models or rule sets emit a candidate signal with confidence.

03
Risk Filter

Volatility, liquidity, exposure and drawdown checks gate the signal.

04
Backtest

Replay across historical windows with fees and slippage assumptions.

05
Paper Trading

Run live signals against real markets without real capital.

06
Live Execution

Smart order routing with latency-aware placement and retries.

07
Monitoring

Real-time PnL, drawdown, fill quality and per-bot health metrics.

08
Stop / Rebalance

Auto-pause on breach, rebalance grid bounds, or close positions on triggers.

/ BACKTESTING & PROOF

Backtests are for analysis, not guarantees

Historical simulation helps evaluate strategy behavior under past conditions. Future market conditions may differ materially.

/ METHODOLOGY

How we calculate the numbers

Definitions in plain language so every metric on this site is auditable.

Active bot

A bot instance with a deployed configuration that has placed at least one live order in the last 24h.

Win rate

Closed trades with positive realized PnL divided by total closed trades. Open positions are excluded.

Fees

Backtests include the exchange fee schedule active at simulation time. Live metrics use actual filled fees.

Drawdown

Peak-to-trough decline of equity over the measurement window, expressed as a percentage of peak equity.

Sharpe ratio

Annualized excess return divided by annualized return volatility. Risk-free rate assumed at 0%.

Live / Demo / Paper

Live = real capital on exchange. Paper = real prices, simulated fills. Demo = exchange testnet environment.

/ SECURITY & API PERMISSIONS

Least-privilege by design

Encrypted key storage, exchange-side permission control, 2FA, full activity logs and one-click revocation.

Encrypted vault

Per-tenant KMS envelope encryption for API keys.

No withdrawals

We never request withdrawal permissions.

2FA enforced

Account, sensitive ops and key changes require 2FA.

Revoke anytime

Disable a key from A3 or from the exchange directly.

What A3 can do
  • Read account balance & open positions (with your read API key)
  • Place, modify and cancel orders for the strategies you enable
  • Stream market data and store strategy execution logs
What A3 cannot do without your permission
  • Withdraw funds from your exchange account
  • Transfer assets between accounts or sub-accounts
  • Change exchange-side withdrawal whitelists or 2FA settings
  • Access keys without your explicit, per-exchange grant
/ RISK ENGINE

Risk is a first-class component

The risk layer sits above every strategy and can pause, downsize or block execution before an order ever reaches an exchange.

Stop-loss logic

Per-position and per-strategy stop levels with hard exit at threshold breach.

Position limits

Maximum notional and concurrent positions per bot, per pair and per account.

Volatility filters

Block new entries when realized or implied volatility crosses configured ceilings.

Liquidity checks

Order-book depth and spread thresholds prevent placement in thin markets.

Pause conditions

Auto-pause on equity drawdown, fill anomalies or repeated rejected orders.

Manual review

Triggers route to a review queue for unusual signals before live execution.

Honest answers to hard questions

Can bots guarantee profit?

No. No automated strategy can guarantee profit. Markets change, models decay, and historical performance never implies future results.

What happens during high volatility?

Risk filters can pause new entries, tighten stops, or fully suspend a strategy until volatility returns within configured bounds.

Can users lose money?

Yes. Trading involves the risk of partial or total capital loss. Configure position size, stop-loss and exposure limits accordingly.

How are API keys protected?

Keys are encrypted server-side with envelope encryption, isolated per user, and never logged. Withdrawal permissions are never required.

Difference between demo, backtest and live?

Backtest replays historical data. Demo runs on the exchange testnet. Live executes real orders with real capital on the production exchange.

Why register on A3 Lab?
