Max 5 safety orders, then the bot only waits

01 / STRATEGIES

Three rules, three different behaviours

Switch the tab: the explanation and the diagram are generated from the same rules the bots run.

DCA bot

Purpose

Accumulate a position in steps when price falls and close it all at a small profit.

Expected behaviour

First check buys the base order. Each further dip of 1.5% × n below the current average adds a larger safety order. When price is +1.5% above the average, the whole position is sold.

Limitations

Capital grows with every safety order; after 5 the bot only waits. There is no stop-loss.

03 / EXCHANGES

Exchange support matrix

Four exchanges, spot only. Rows show what the code does today; nothing more is promised.

Configuration explanation · not a live connection status

Credentials: key + secret + passphrase
Pair format sent: BTC/USDT → BTCUSDT
Price source: public spot ticker · spot/market/tickers
Bot orders: spot market orders
Caveats: not checked — set on exchange. This exchange also needs the key passphrase; without it the check fails. Futures, margin, limit orders and other exchanges are not supported.

Setup step: add and test this key

2 →
Signal
The bot's rule (DCA, Grid or AI) returns buy, sell or wait.
3 →
Checks
Built-in bot limits apply, e.g. the DCA safety-order cap. Account-wide risk limits are a concept.

Technical notes

What happens to your key today, and what you should set up on the exchange yourself.

DOC-01API keys

Revoke anytime: Delete a key in Dashboard → Exchange keys and it is removed from your account. Also delete it on the exchange to revoke it fully.

07 / FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Q1Can bots guarantee profit?

No. Markets change and any strategy can lose money. Examples on this page are illustrations, not results.

Q2Do bots trade with real money?

Yes. A started bot sends real market orders through your API key. Paper mode is planned but not available yet.

Q3How is my API key handled?

The key is saved to your account and only you can access it under the database access rules. It is used on the server to sign exchange requests. Use read and trade permissions only and disable withdrawals on the exchange — Ticker Pro does not verify key permissions.

Q4How do I revoke access?

Delete the key in Dashboard → Exchange keys, then delete or disable it on the exchange. After that the key can no longer be used.

Q5What happens during high volatility?

Bots keep following their rules; there is no automatic volatility filter yet. Pause or stop a bot manually if needed.

Q6Why register on A3 Lab?

Ticker Pro is the automation interface. Registration for A3 Lab products, KYC and product terms are on the main A3 Lab platform.
