The Auto-Trading feature is engineered to be a powerful ally, empowering you to trade with greater efficiency and precision. To ensure you can confidently master this robust tool, let’s decode the essential metrics you will encounter.
1. Risk Level: Your Strategy’s Safety Parameter
In the world of trading, especially with leverage, risk management is paramount. The “Risk Level” serves as your primary control over your strategy’s operational safety.
- What is Risk Level? It’s a calibrated metric on a scale of 1 to 10 that defines the risk tolerance of your chosen Auto-Trading strategy.
- Low Risk (1-3): The bot prioritizes capital preservation by executing trades with low leverages. While potential returns may be modest, the risk of liquidation is significantly minimized. Ideal for newcomers or risk-averse traders.
- Medium Risk (4-7): The bot strikes a balance between seeking profitable opportunities and safeguarding your account. This is a widely-favored setting for balanced growth.
- High Risk (8-10): The bot adopts an aggressive posture with high leverages to maximize returns. This approach entails higher exposure to market volatility and carries a greater risk of liquidation if the market moves unfavorably. Suited for experienced traders with a high-risk appetite.
Recommendation: Initiate with a Low or Medium Risk level to familiarize yourself with the system’s dynamics. Consider graduating to higher-risk strategies only after gaining a comprehensive understanding of market behavior.
2. APY (Annual Percentage Yield): Gauging Potential Returns
- What is APY? APY, or Annual Percentage Yield, is a projection of the potential annual return of an Auto-Trading strategy, calculated based on its historical performance. This figure is compounded, meaning it includes returns generated from previously earned profits.
- Why is it important? APY provides a standardized metric to compare the profitability potential across different strategies. For instance, a strategy with a 200% APY theoretically implies that an initial investment of 1,000 USDT could yield 2,000 USDT in profit over one year, assuming performance is sustained.
Disclaimer: APY is an estimate based on past data and does not guarantee future results. The cryptocurrency market is inherently volatile, and actual performance may deviate.
3. PnL (Profit and Loss): Your Real-Time Performance Tracker
PnL is the definitive measure of your trading profitability. It is broken down into three components for granular analysis:
- Unrealized PnL*: This represents the floating profit or loss on your currently open Swing positions. This value fluctuates in real-time with the asset’s market price until the position is closed.
- Example: The bot enters a long position on BTC at $60,000. If the price of BTC moves to $61,000, your Unrealized PnL is +$1,000. If the price drops to $59,500, your Unrealized PnL becomes -$500.
- Realized PnL*: This is the actual profit or loss secured after a Swing position has been closed. This amount is irrevocably credited to or debited from your account balance and is no longer subject to market fluctuations.
- Example: The bot closes the BTC position (opened at $60,000) at a market price of $61,000. You have now secured a Realized PnL of +$1,000.
- Total PnL*: This is the aggregate of both Realized and Unrealized PnL, providing a holistic view of your strategy’s performance. Total PnL = Realized PnL + Unrealized PnL
