⚙️ Adjusting Your Robot’s Performance

Besides the built-in safety mechanisms within each strategy, you can also manage your robot’s performance and security manually by adjusting the coefficient.
If you’re planning to customize your settings, it’s important to understand a few key points.

📈 How the Ratio Affects Performance and Risk

Let’s look at an example:

The default Ratio for most strategies is 1.0.
Based on historical data, this usually means that the maximum drawdown for each strategy does not exceed 30% (note: this doesn’t apply to every strategy — recommended coefficients are provided individually).

• Want safer trading?
  You can lower the Ratio — for example, setting it to 0.5.
  This cuts the potential drawdown in half (from 30% to 15%) — but it also proportionally lowers performance.
• Want higher returns?
  Raising the Ratio to 2.0 doubles the potential profits — but it also increases the maximum drawdown to about 60%.

🛠️ Advanced Coefficient Setup (For Experienced Traders)

If you’re a more advanced trader seeking maximum performance, you can calculate your coefficient based on historical drawdowns over different periods.

Example formulas:

• Medium performance and risk:
  K = 50 / Drawdown over the last 12 months [%]
• High performance and risk:
  K = 50 / Drawdown over the last 6 months [%]
• Extreme performance and risk:
  K = 50 / Drawdown over the last 3 months [%]

Note:
If your calculated Ratio is greater than 10, it’s considered extremely risky.
In that case, it’s better to cap the coefficient at 10.

🔄 Important Before Switching Strategies

Before switching or disconnecting a strategy, always check if it has open trades.

• If it does (and it almost always will), it’s best to pause the strategy first.
• After pausing, no new trades will open, and the robot will gradually close all open trades over a few days.
• Once all trades are closed, you can safely disconnect and optionally connect a new strategy.

⚠️ If you disconnect while trades are still open, you must manage those positions manually.

Summary:

• Adjust the Ratio to balance performance and risk
• Pause the strategy before switching to avoid manual trade management
• Always monitor open trades before disconnecting
