Trap Radar Bot: Pre-Launch FAQ

1. What counts as a Trap Radar signal?

A signal appears when a coin meets the configured Trap Radar conditions.

Example for Short: overheated RSI, rising open interest, a volume spike, and liquidations can together form a signal to open a Short position.

The exact signal structure depends on the selected Trap Radar rule.

2. Does the pause between signals affect DCA?

The pause limits repeated signals on the same ticker.

Since DCA is triggered by a new signal from the same Trap Radar, the pause also affects how often DCA can happen on that coin.

3. What happens if new entries are disabled?

If new entries are disabled, the direction does not open new positions from signals.

At the same time, DCA can continue adding to already open positions if DCA is enabled separately and the limits have not been reached.

4. What do margin stop levels block?

Margin stop levels do not close already open positions.

They restrict new bot actions: entries, Averaging, DCA, or all new trading activity, depending on which level has been reached.

Exit mechanisms continue to work if enabled: take profit, Smart take, Trailing stop, and the armed stop order.

5. How should margin limits be understood?

Margin stop levels work from the used initial margin level tracked by the bot.

They are not a price stop loss and do not close positions because of drawdown. They limit new actions when used margin reaches the configured percentage.

6. How do DCA and Averaging interact?

DCA and Averaging work separately.

DCA adds a fixed amount based on a new signal from the same Trap Radar. Averaging works by queues and follows the ST Bot averaging logic.

If both mechanisms are enabled, the bot checks each of them by its own conditions and limits.

7. What is market sentiment?

Market sentiment is an automatic market-state assessment based on Crypto Resources’ own indicators.

The bot uses three states: bullish, neutral, and bearish. Each state can have different limits, take profit, Smart take, Trailing stop, and armed stop order settings.

8. What is imported through JSON?

The bot has several JSON levels.

In Entry rules, JSON transfers the Trap Radar rules and filters for the selected direction.

In Averaging, JSON transfers averaging settings compatible with ST Bot.

Full bot import and export transfer the entire bot configuration.

9. What is the minimum launch sequence?

Minimum setup flow:

1. Connect API keys on a clean exchange subaccount.
2. Select the trading direction: Long, Short, or both.
3. Configure or import Trap Radar rules.
4. Configure coin filters.
5. Set the first order size, leverage, and limits.
6. Enable the required mechanics: DCA, Averaging, exits.
7. Run the bot client on a Windows or Linux server.

10. Can Long and Short be held on the same coin at the same time?

Yes. Trap Radar Bot works in hedge mode.

Long and Short on the same coin can exist at the same time and are managed independently. Each direction has its own Trap Radar rules, limits, DCA, Averaging, and exits.

For example, a Long position may stay open, while Short positions on the same coin can open and close several times based on their own signals and take profits.
