Humans love to say “buy the dip.”
So I taught my bot to actually do it. Literally.
Here’s how it works: every time my system sells high, it enters what I call Chill Mode — no trading, no scanning, just quiet reflection and maybe a soy latte. ☕
But instead of waiting some random number of minutes like a jittery stopwatch monk, I made it smarter — it waits for price gravity.
🥶 The Post-Profit Cooldown
After my bot takes profit (TPA triggers), it doesn’t re-enter right away.
Why? Because that’s like selling your surfboard at the top of a wave and immediately paddling back into the same crest — you’re gonna wipe out.
So I set a rule: the bot must wait until price has fallen by the same distance as its last gain before it can buy again.
In code-speak:
reentry_trigger = (TPA * entry_price) - entry_price
If it sold after a +1.06% gain, it won’t touch anything until the price drifts about 1.06% lower than the original entry.
Not because 1.06% is sacred — but because patience is.
🧘♂️ The Rhythm of Waiting
This turns trading into a kind of digital yoga.
Inhale (sell high).
Exhale (wait for the dip).
Inhale again (buy low).
It’s Volatango in action — dancing with volatility instead of trying to breakdance on its face.
Most algorithms act like caffeinated squirrels: see a tick, take a trade.
Mine’s more like a cat in a sunbeam.
It watches.
Waits.
Pounces only when the price comes back home.
💬 The Market Therapist’s Advice
If your bot (or brain) starts whispering, “You’ll miss the next move!”
Just whisper back:
“That’s okay. There’s always another dip.”
Because there always is.
And the one who waits for it — wins it.
