Trades fewer round-trips than BasicMode but holds positions for longer rallies. **FullBullMarket is the trailing-stop alternative to BasicMode for operators with high regime confidence.** Wider sell targets, trailing-stop arming on profit, fewer total round-trips. It outperforms BasicMode in clear sustained up-trends, underperforms in chop. Pick based on your regime confidence. ## The mode at a glance | Property | Value | | ----------------------- | ------------------------------ | | **Mode number** | 1 | | **Buy splits** | Multiple (mode-specific shape) | | **Sell-ladder** | Wider targets than BasicMode | | **Trailing stop** | Yes — arms on profit | | **Recommended capital** | `~$20,000` | | **Best regime fit** | Sustained uptrends | | **Worst regime fit** | Chop, sustained downtrends | ## When to use FullBullMarket Multi-week or multi-month trend continuation looks likely. The trailing stop captures more of the rally than BasicMode's fixed sell ladder. FullBullMarket trades fewer round-trips. Per-trade P\&L is larger but trade frequency is lower. The variance of monthly returns is wider. Once a position is profitable, the trailing stop arms and locks in gains as the price makes new highs. This is FullBullMarket's main differentiator. If the trend turns out to be chop, FullBullMarket will under-trade and underperform BasicMode for that period. Acceptable trade-off when you're confident. ## When NOT to use FullBullMarket * ❌ **In chop or unclear regimes**. FullBullMarket trades less than BasicMode in non-trending markets. You're paying opportunity cost in fewer round-trips. * ❌ **In your first month** of unCoded operation. Regime-calling is a skill that develops with experience. * ❌ **For pairs without clear trend signals**. Picking FullBullMarket because "I think this might be a bull market" without confirmation is regime-guessing — bad decision-making process. * ❌ **At capital below `$15,000`**. The mode's split sizing requires sufficient capital. At lower levels, switch to LowMoney or MinimalMoney. ## How FullBullMarket differs from BasicMode | Aspect | BasicMode | FullBullMarket | | ------------------------------- | -------------------------- | ------------------------------ | | **Sell-ladder rungs** | Narrow (`+0.25%` to `+5%`) | Wider | | **Trailing stop** | None | Arms on profit | | **Round-trip frequency** | Higher | Lower | | **Per-trade P\&L** | Smaller | Larger | | **Chop performance** | Better | Worse | | **Sustained-trend performance** | Worse | Better | | **Predictability** | High | Lower (trailing-stop dynamics) | ## How a FullBullMarket trade flows Same buy-ladder concept as BasicMode. Splits fire incrementally as price falls. Wider rung spacing than BasicMode. Captures larger price moves. Once profit threshold is reached, the trailing stop arms. As price makes new highs, the trailing stop re-prices upward. As price falls back from a high by the trailing-stop's distance, the position exits. Whichever happens first. Trailing-stop exits during sustained moves; sell-rung exits during measured moves. ## Trailing stop behavior — what to know The trailing stop doesn't activate immediately on a buy fill. It arms once the position has reached a configured profit level. Until then, behavior is similar to a fixed sell ladder. This prevents a fast-and-sharp bounce from immediately tripping the stop right after entry. Once armed, the trailing stop sits at a configured distance below the highest observed price. As new highs are made, the stop moves up. The stop never moves down. A `2%` trailing distance means: if the price hits `$70,000`, the stop is at `$68,600`. If price subsequently hits `$72,000`, the stop moves to `$70,560`. If price falls back to `$70,560`, the position closes. The trailing stop is locally re-priced — it lives on your VPS, not on the exchange. If your VPS is offline during a period of new highs, the stop reference doesn't advance. On reboot, the stop is at its last server-side level. For most modes this is a minor edge case; for tight trailing stops on volatile instruments, this can mean a slightly lower exit price. ## Best practices * ✅ **Use only when regime confidence is high** — sustained trend signals confirmed. * ✅ **Pair with strong fundamentals** — a clear trending narrative across the asset. * ✅ **Start with `$15,000–$20,000`** to give the buy ladder room to work. * ✅ **Hold reserve at 50%** — same as BasicMode. * ✅ **Watch trailing-stop activation in the Live Trades panel** to build intuition. * ✅ **Keep VPS clock synced** — trailing-stop logic is sensitive to clock drift. * ✅ **Be prepared to switch back to BasicMode** if the trend breaks. * ✅ **Backtest against the regime you expect** — validate behavior on similar historical windows. * ✅ **Don't run FullBullMarket on multiple high-correlation pairs** — concentrate the regime risk. * ✅ **Treat the kill switch as your most important control** — flip it for unfamiliar behavior. ## What's next The default starter — pick this if you're not sure about regime. Even more trailing-stop-driven, for `~$10,000` capital. Validate FullBullMarket on the regime you expect. How FullBullMarket fits into your risk framework.
