Every control explained
Modes, thresholds and bands
These decide whether a round is worth touching in the first place.
- Consensus strictness / Trading mode: a single preset governing how tight every entry gate sits. Selective keeps entries rare and high-quality, taking only strong, confirmed moves. Balanced is the middle ground. Aggressive waves most rounds through on a wider band and lower thresholds: more trades, thinner signals.
- UP threshold / DOWN threshold: the size a move must reach before it registers. Under Constellation that means the average move across the assets that agree; under Simple and Advanced it is the chosen market's own spot move. Drop the threshold and smaller moves trigger, which buys you more trades on weaker evidence.
- Buy price range (entry band): entries happen only while the token trades between these two prices. Price roughly equals implied probability, so a band hugging $0.50 aims at near coin-flips that still have room to run, and a wider band lets more setups through.
- Avoid price range: nothing is bought while the price sits inside this band, which is how you skip genuine coin-flips around $0.49 to $0.51. Zero out both ends to switch it off.
- Trading hours: a 24-hour UTC grid where clicking an hour takes it off the table. The shading maps historical BTC volatility hour by hour, so the dead patches and the wild ones are easy to steer around.
- Assets (Simple & Advanced only): which 5-minute markets are live for you: BTC, ETH or the pair. Constellation pays no attention to this and always covers all six.
Constellation dials
Two further controls govern how Constellation goes looking for a straggler.
- Min assets agreeing: how many of the six have to be pointing the same way before Constellation starts hunting at all. Raise it and you get a stricter filter with fewer trades.
- Laggard gap: the distance a coin must trail the group, expressed as an implied-probability gap, before it counts as a laggard worth backing. Demand a bigger gap and only the obvious stragglers make the cut.
Sizing and bankroll
These decide how much capital rides on each position and how much is exposed at any one moment.
- Initial buy ($): how large the opening position is.
- Max per trade ($): the ceiling on a single position, counting the opening buy and every DCA add together.
- Max concurrent: how many positions the bot may hold open simultaneously.
- Bankroll ($): the capital you are putting to work. Sizing is measured against it, and it is treated as an absolute ceiling.
DCA and the stop-loss floor
DCA, or dollar-cost averaging, means topping up a position after entry when the price slips. A 5-minute market gives a trade all of 300 seconds to live, so any topping up happens in a hurry. Four behaviors to choose from:
- Standard: $3 goes in on the first dip and $2.50 on the second, to a ceiling of $10.50 per trade.
- Off: a single position with no top-ups. The plainest and least risky setting.
- Capped: a single $2 top-up, capped at $7 per trade.
- On confirm: a top-up lands only while the live signal still backs your original call. Once the market turns, it stands pat rather than feeding a loser.
The individual DCA dials (found under Advanced) set the precise figures:
- DCA #1 add ($) / DCA #2 add ($): how many dollars go in on the first and second dips.
- DCA trigger drop ($): the drop from your entry price required before a DCA top-up fires.
- Stop-loss price ($): this is a DCA floor, not a sell. Once the token slips under this price the bot stops averaging down. Selling is not on the table, because every 5-minute position runs to settlement and these markets offer no mid-round exit. All the stop-loss does is stop good money chasing a sinking one.
In a 5-minute binary, a sliding price usually means the market has decided against you, so averaging down often means doubling down on a loser. Off and On confirm are the safer picks for a style this fast and this directional.
Taking the other side of a long run
An override you can switch on. Enable it, then set a count N, which defaults to 7. Once a market closes the same way N times running, say seven straight UPs, the bot sets its usual signal aside for that round and takes the opposite side instead. It is a mean-reversion call: the run looks stretched, so it gets faded.
Runs that long are uncommon. Real BTC data puts a streak of 7 or more at roughly once or twice a day per asset, so this rarely fires and stays out of the way otherwise.
