What is Smart Botty?

These are smart settings from the Botty the Bot app.
These make trading easier, they are all listed in this section.

Unique Smart TP

When Botty receives a notification and starts a single trade, it brings the Stop Loss closer when a Take Profit is won. Example:
- Botty receives a trade in EUR-USD with 3 TP and Botty launches the TP3 only, according to your parameters.
- The TP1 is won, Botty brings the SL closer to the entry point.
- The TP2 is won, Botty brings the SL closer to TP1.
- The TP3 is won, end of the trade. Note: this parameter cannot be used at the same time as "Multiple Smart TP".

Multiple Smart TP

When Botty receives a notification and launches several trades, it brings the Stop Loss closer to each trade when a Take Profit is won. Example:
- Botty receives a trade in EUR-USD with 3 TP and Botty launches TP1, TP2 and TP3 according to your parameters.
- The TP1 is won, Botty brings the SL closer to the entry point on TP2 and TP3.
- The TP2 is won, Botty brings the SL closer to the TP1 level on the TP3.
- The TP3 is won, end of the trade. Note: this parameter cannot be used at the same time as "Unique Smart TP".

Smart Secure

Reaches Stop Loss when a trader from a Telegram channel notifies you to secure a trade. Example:
- Botty receives a trade from the channel "Alpha Trading" in EUR-USD with 3 TP and Botty launches the TP1, TP2 and TP3 according to your parameters.
- The TP1 gets 15 gain pips and you get a message from the channel "Alpha Trading", which says "TP1 +15 pips of winning, close or secure".
- Botty brings the SL closer to the entry point on TP1, TP2 and TP3.
- The TP1 is won and you receive a message from the channel "Alpha trading", which says "TP1 won, +30 pips of earnings, close or secure while waiting for TP2".
- Botty brings the SL closer to TP1 on TP2 and TP3. Note: If the "Smart Close" setting is active at the same time, and you receive "secure or close", Botty will always choose to secure rather than close.

Smart Close

Closes a trade when a trader from a Telegram channel notifies you to close it. Example:
- Botty receives a trade from the channel "Alpha Trading" for purchase on DAX30 with 1 TP and Botty launches the TP1 according to your parameters.
- The TP reaches 40 pips gain and you receive a message from the channel "Alpha Trading" which says "TP1 +15 pips of winning, close".
- Botty closes the trade. Note: If the "Smart Secure" setting is active at the same time, and you receive "secure or close", Botty will always choose to secure rather than close.

Smart Pips

Smart Pips brings the Stop Loss closer each time a trade earns X Pips, where X is the number you enter in Botty's Smart Pips settings. Example:
- You have previously activated Smart Pips with 20 pips.
- A trade is currently winning 20 pips.
- Botty brings the SL closer to the entry point of the trade.
- This same trade currently wins 40 pips.
- Botty brings the SL 20 pips closer to the entry point of the trade.

Smart Partial Closure - Smart SL

Partially closes a trade when a "Smart Botty" (exept Smart Close) setting is active, the closing will be in the % you specify. Smart TP-Secure-Pips: Example: - "Smart TP Multiple" is active. - Partial closure is activated with 25% closure. - TP1, TP2, TP3 are active. - You receive a trade with 3 TP, Botty launches 3 trades. - TP1 wins. - Botty closed TP2 and TP3 at 25%. - TP2 wins. - Botty closed the TP3 at 25%. Smart SL: First you need to enter your pips limit, and when this limit is reached Botty will create a “ghost” SL. When the “ghost” SL is hit, Botty will partially close the trade. Example: - You have set your pips limit to 15. - Botty starts a trade with 3 TP - The trade reaches 15 pips, Botty creates a “ghost” SL close to the entry point - The trade reaches 30 pips, Botty creates a “ghost” SL at 15 pips in gain. - The trade goes back and loses 15 pips, Botty will detect the “ghost” SL hit, and it will partially close the trade.

Smart Entry

Smart Entry brings the Stop Loss to the entry point when a trade earns X Pips, where X is the number you enter in Botty's Smart Entry settings. Example: - You have previously activated Smart Entry with 50 pips. - A trade is currently winning 50 pips. - Botty moves the SL to the entry point of the trade.

Smart Notification

When this setting is enabled, Botty will send you notifications when: - Smart TP moves a SL - Smart Pips moves a SL - Smart Partial closure makes a partial closure - Smart SL creates a "ghost" SL - Smart SL, the "ghost" SL is hit and Botty makes a partial closure
