Hi - just want to see if anyone has any suggestions on this setup I’m running on combo bots. The coverage is good in terms of drop, but I’m thinking it’s using a lot of money on deals for not a great profit. I think the problem might be in the DCA setup or potentially the balance of money between the grid and DCA sections.
Any suggestions welcome!
My 2 cents:
I think the base order / dca funds distribution is a bit odd. You start with 200, then first dca is 50, and aggressive step scale and volume scale. High volume scales are only good when you are expecting a significant drop. I prefer to have all DCAs evenly or max 1.05 volume scale, it will have better use of the funds and therefore better profitability.
A smaller volume scale only makes it less and less likely to catch smaller reversals. A better approach would be to add safety orders indicator based. The required change has still some issues, but at least finally it allows to configure e.g. to auto-scale the volume that it would only require a change of +6% to reach the minimum take profit of 1%. But notice that you can only limit the Max volume per DCA but not the Max volume per deal.
Ideally, I’d like the main grid to cover +/- 10% and that’s where the bulk of the trading is happening; the DCA element for me should (or at least what I would like for it to do should be) cover dips below the main grid to continue to grid trade at the lower level and then to take profit at a certain profit percentage (2.5% is the setting I have there).
So main grid trades $200 +/-10%, then if it dips below 10% then it continues to grid trade at that new DCA level +/-10% and so on. 53% deviation is probably far too much; I’d be fine around the 30-40% level.
I’m trying to get my head around the combo bot but maybe I’m not totally understanding it.
Think of Combo bot deals as dynamically placed grid bot deal which extends against the deals direction either grid level by grid level or per mini grid step. Each mini grid works like a multiple take profit grid bot deal in its range. Once a mini grid takes profit, it’s closed again. Only the profits of mini grids have an averaging effect on the combo deals average price.

Hi
I fixed the Bot slightly and just started it with 4 different coins, in a few days I will give you updates
Would you be willing to share what you changed so I can test a few things my end?
sure @
Based on the coin I did tests is put leverage from 2X to 5X, I put in @aressanch advice and increased the scale to 1.05 and modified the entry with 50 usdt and each DCa with 40 usdt, we average from 180% to 300% based on the coin with no loss and a maximum drow dawn of 17%

Hello can you share the link so that i can do backtest and see ???
Link is in the OP. Should still work… unless you mean blackdcrypto.
Hello everyone,
after a day let’s say I still haven’t closed an ooerazioen on all the open coins, I’ll update you
- Active minigrids is something I dont like
- I do min 5% used DCA TP as combo bot deals can take a while to close down all orders and slippage for 2.5% might lead to -ve deals
- I try to keep Base Minigrid levels and DCA Minigrid levels same i.e 10 and 3 here
- With combo bot what i found is catching reversals is pretty difficult because the DCA power is lost when sell orders get executed so wouldnt bother with high volume scale
- Keep spacing simple like TA settings step scale 1
- I would go low volume scale 1.05 and more DCA orders.
As example
