SELL IT

Every buy signal will be checked afterwards for a maximum of 5 days.
If certain criteria apply, a sell signal is generated.
We send this sell signal via API, push to bots and telegram.
No sell signal is generated below 2.5% profit. This means that no sell signal will be sent below 2.5% profit from the buy price.
Please note that sell signals are an optional tool to your existing strategy.

How it works

Each buy signal is sent with a unique signal ID. (eg. bin_1234567890 for a Binance signal). We use our trailing stop-loss (TSL) logic to calculate a sell signal and automatically send a sell signal with the same signal-id. This allows you to match the sell signal to the correct buy signal.

There are 3 calculation cases

Optimal case

1. Buy signal is triggered at 100,-
2. The price rises to 103,-
3. The stop loss value is generated and set at 100,-
4. The price drops to 102,-
5. The stop loss value remains unchanged as the price has fallen.
6. The price rises to 105,-
7. The stop loss is increased to 103,- due to the price increase.
8. The price drops to 104,-
9. The stop loss value remains unchanged as the price has fallen.
10. The price continues to drop and hits the stop loss value. Now the sell signal is triggered at 103,-

Broken case

1. Buy signal is triggered at 100,-
2. The price rises to 103,-
3. The stop loss value is generated and set at 100,-
4. The price drops to 102,-
5. The stop loss value remains unchanged as the price has fallen.
6. The price rises to 105,-
7. The stop loss is increased to 103,- due to the price increase.
8. The price drops to 104,-
9. The stop loss value remains unchanged as the price has fallen.
10. The price continues to drop and hits the stop loss value. Now the sell signal is triggered at 103,-
11. However, the price continues to rise to 104, - and
12. even to 106, - before
13. The price drops back to 100,- or even less. In this case, the sell signal was already triggered at 103, - and was sold at 3%. The problem is that you theoretically could have reached a price of 106,- , but you could not foresee this.

Invalid case

1. Buy signal is triggered at 100,-
2. The price stays the same at 100,-
3. The price rises to 103,-
4. The stop loss value is generated and set at 100,-
5. The price drops to 102,-
6. The stop loss value remains unchanged as the price has fallen.
7. The price drops to 101,-
8. The stop loss value remains unchanged as the price has fallen.
9. The price rises to 102,-
10. The stop loss value remains unchanged because the price has not risen enough (not over 103,-)
11. The price drops to 101,-
12. The stop loss value remains unchanged as the price has fallen.
13. The price continues to drop and hits the stop loss value. Now the sell signal is triggered at 100,- ! In this case, we still do not send a sell signal because no minimum profit has been reached

API

API sell signals

The structure of the sell signals is identical to the buy signals, the only difference is the signal mode buy or sell.
You can specify via your API settings if you want to get buy and/or sell signals. More infomations about this settings you can find under API settings.
Note: the previous signal mode rise, volume and highrising are thus outdated.

BOT (push) sell signals

Sell signals are also sent to our BOT users. Please note the signal mode as well as the signal ID to match the buy signals with the sell signals. If you only want to use buy signals, please filter the signals according to signal mode.

Telegram sell signals

To activate sell signals in telegram you have to activate the output mode sell in your settings.
In addition for those who also use telegram signals, the output mode can also be set to sell in your telegram settings.
More infomations about this settings you can find under Telegram settings
If you click the signalID in your telegram sell signal you get to the sell signal detail page for this signal.
Depending on your connection speed and the connection quality of the telegram server you will receive the sell signal at the same time as it was generated.

Important facts for sell signals

• Initial calculation only takes place with at least 1% profit. This means that below 1% no sell signal calculation process is executed.
• Depending on the current price behavior, the TSL is updated and if the price drops below a certain limit, the sell signal is triggered.
• Sell signal calculation is currently running for a maximum of 5 days. This means that a sell signal, if not previously triggered, can be sent for a maximum of 5 days after the generation of the buy signal.
• No sell signal is generated below 2.5% profit. This means that no sell signal will be sent below 2.5% profit from the buy price.
• The sell signal price can be below the actual maximum profit. That means if the price drops during a TSL process, a sell signal is generated with eg. 5.5% profit as the price drops below the TSL limit. However, if the price rises again a few hours later, and the sell signal has already been generated, it is not possible to generate another sell signal.
  Therefore, it is possible that a sell signal was sent with 5.5% profit, but the price can subsequently rise to a maximum of eg. 12% profit.
• Depending on the price trend, it is possible that not every buy signal that has reached at least 1% profit will generate a sell signal.

Probability to generate a sell signal (min 2.5%)*

* The probability that a buy signal will also send a sell signal. 100% = every buy signal generate a sell signal. (started with sell signals from 2018-11-07)
