Optimized for instruments where letting the trailing stop catch the move is more valuable than a fixed sell ladder. **Tsl2Sell (Mode 7) is the trailing-stop-dominant mode** — exits are driven primarily by the trailing stop rather than a fixed sell ladder. Suitable for trending instruments where the next high is unpredictable but durable, and you want the position to ride sustained moves. ## The mode at a glance | Property | Value | | -------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | | **Mode number** | 7 | | **Buy logic** | Simplified vs BasicMode | | **Sell logic** | Trailing-stop dominant | | **Trailing stop** | Yes — the primary exit mechanism | | **Recommended capital** | `~$10,000` | | **Reserve recommendation** | `~$5,000` (`50%` of trading capital) | | **Best regime fit** | Sustained trends with unpredictable peaks | | **Worst regime fit** | High-frequency chop | ## When to use Tsl2Sell Symbols making sustained directional moves where the eventual peak is hard to call. The trailing stop captures the move and exits at a controlled distance from the peak. A fixed sell ladder caps the upside at `+5%` (BasicMode) or `+8%` (FullBullMarket). Tsl2Sell can ride to whatever high the trend produces, exiting on the pull-back. The mode's calibration. Below `$10,000`, switch to LowMoney. Above `$15,000`, BasicMode or FullBullMarket may be more appropriate. Mode 7 has reduced buy-ladder complexity vs BasicMode. Fewer splits, more reliance on trailing-stop exits to capture P\&L. ## The trailing-stop trade-off A `+30%` rally that BasicMode would have closed at `+5%` (full sell ladder filled) — Tsl2Sell holds through, trailing-stop tracks the highs, exits when the move retraces by the trailing distance. On well-chosen trending instruments, this is meaningfully more profitable than a fixed sell ladder. The trailing stop exits at the trailing distance below the peak. Whatever the peak was, the exit price is some percentage lower. A `2%` trailing distance means: if the peak was `$80,000`, exit is at `$78,400`. The `2%` between peak and exit is the cost of the trailing-stop strategy. Trailing stops are locally re-priced — they live on your VPS. If your VPS is offline during a period of new highs, the trailing-stop reference doesn't advance. For most modes this is a minor edge case; for tight trailing stops on volatile instruments, this can mean a slightly lower exit price. In sideways markets, the trailing stop frequently triggers small losses (every minor pullback after a small rally trips the stop). Net effect: many small-loss trades. Tsl2Sell is regime-dependent. Use only when you're confident in trending behaviour. ## When NOT to use Tsl2Sell * ❌ **Chop or unclear regimes** — the trailing stop trips on noise, eroding capital. * ❌ **First month operating unCoded** — regime calling is hard; default to BasicMode first. * ❌ **Capital below `$10,000`** — split sizing becomes inefficient. * ❌ **Multiple highly-correlated pairs** — if all your pairs are trending similarly, regime risk concentrates. * ❌ **You're not watching** — Tsl2Sell needs operator attention to switch off when the regime breaks. ## Best practices * ✅ **Use only with confirmed trend signals** — multiple confirmations across timeframes. * ✅ **Pair with momentum-aligned instruments** — BTC during a clear bull run, not during chop. * ✅ **Watch for regime breaks** — switch back to BasicMode if the trend signs reverse. * ✅ **Hold 50% reserve** for averaging or alternative pairs if regime breaks. * ✅ **Backtest on the specific instrument and regime** — Tsl2Sell behavior is highly regime-dependent. * ✅ **Check the Dashboard daily** — Tsl2Sell needs operator attention more than BasicMode. * ✅ **Be prepared to switch off** — regime mismatch with Tsl2Sell is more painful than with BasicMode. * ✅ **Consider a sub-account** — keep Tsl2Sell isolated from your validated BasicMode operation. * ✅ **Treat the kill switch as your most important control** during regime shifts. ## What's next Trailing-stop with stronger buy ladder for `~$20,000`. The default — switch back during regime uncertainty. Validate Tsl2Sell behavior on your target regime. Trailing-stop risk in your overall framework.
