How the signal bot works

From first click to your first paper signal trade, in three steps.

1

Define entry and exit rules

Set the condition that triggers an entry, your stop-loss and take-profit levels, and how much of your paper balance to use per trade.

2

Backtest it on past prices

Replay the same rules on up to 90 days of history. You see what the rules would have done on those prices.

3

Run it on paper, live

Start the bot on your paper balance and watch it trade against live prices. No exchange account or API key is involved.

// SIGNAL MECHANICS

Six indicator modes, one state machine, and the risk layer around it

A signal bot here is either holding a position or it is not; it never goes short. Every indicator mode feeds that same simple state, and what changes between modes is only what counts as a reason to act.

Trend-following and mean-reversion modes, plus a combiner

Five standalone modes are available. SMA crossover and MACD follow trends: they act on a condition that stays true, not on the single instant of a crossing. Bollinger Bands and RSI trade the other way, buying weakness and selling strength. Volume is a confirmation mode, because volume has no direction of its own and can only support a price move already under way.

The sixth mode, combo, runs any selection of the other five and requires them to agree. You choose between unanimous agreement among the active signals and a simple majority of those that currently have a view. There is deliberately no looser "any one of them" option: that is the same thing as running the signals separately, and it would produce more false entries rather than fewer.

Entries and exits are paper limit orders, offset from price

A fired signal does not buy at market. It places a paper limit order a set percentage below price to enter, and above price to exit. That order fills at its own price once the live price reaches it, and pays the exchange's maker rate.

The trade-off is straightforward: if price runs past your limit without touching it, the order simply does not fill. Entry and exit offsets are set separately, and an order still waiting when the signal reverses is cancelled. One difference from live trading is worth knowing. A paper limit fills in full on the first touch, where a real one may sit behind other orders at the same price and miss.

Risk controls that sit outside the indicator

A stop-loss percentage sells at market whatever the indicator says, because a stop that might not fill defeats its own purpose. A maximum position value caps the size of an entry in cash terms rather than refusing the trade outright. A trend filter can require price to be above a longer moving average before any entry is allowed.

The drawdown halt stops new entries once your paper account's equity falls a set percentage below its high point. It measures the whole paper account rather than one bot, so a fall on a grid can halt a signal bot too. That is deliberate: the limit is about the account you are practicing with, not about one strategy's share of it.

The position is the strategy's own, never the account's

A signal bot keeps its own record of how much it holds and what it paid, rather than reading the account's overall position. That balance is shared with your manual trades, your grid inventory and every other bot.

Without that separation, a signal bot's stop-loss could sell coins a grid bot was laddering, or its exit could sell a position it never opened. Pausing is a real state as well: a paused signal bot keeps its position and its place on screen until you resume it or stop it, instead of vanishing from the list of active pairs.

// SIGNAL MODES

The indicator modes and their defaults

Every period and threshold is editable; these are the values a new bot starts from.

Mode What fires it Defaults
sma Short moving average crossing a long one, held as a condition rather than an instant. 5 / 20
bollinger Mean reversion from the lower band back toward the middle band. 20, 2.0 sd
rsi Buy below the oversold threshold, exit above the overbought one. 14, 30 / 70
macd MACD line above its signal line to hold long, below it to exit. 12 / 26 / 9
volume Current candle volume above the recent average, confirming a price move. 20, 1.5×
combo Any subset of the five above, required to agree before acting. all_agree | majority

Shared risk settings across every mode: stop-loss percent, max position value, trend filter window, and volatility multipliers that can widen a stop or target but never tighten one. Lookback is capped at 500 points. Every account can run up to 2 signal bots at once.

// PRICE SOURCES

The same rules, reading four exchanges' prices

Every indicator mode and every risk control above works the same whether the bot reads WOO X, Binance, Bitfinex or Bitkub prices. No account on the exchange is needed. A rule you have tuned on one pair can be pointed at another without rewriting it.

One caveat, stated plainly rather than buried: a signal bot reads a stream of live prices and does not see candle highs and lows, so its volatility sizing is worked out from how widely those prices are spread rather than from a textbook ATR. That is a genuine difference from the same idea on a charting platform.

// SIGNAL BOT FAQ

Signal trading bot — FAQ

01 // SIGNAL BASICS What is a signal trading bot?

A signal bot watches the market for a condition you define, such as an indicator crossing a threshold. When the condition fires, it enters a trade and then manages it with your own stop-loss, take-profit and sizing rules. On Vectixs every one of those trades is a paper trade.

02 // NO EXCHANGE ACCOUNT Do I need an exchange account or an API key?

No. Vectixs is paper trading only. Your signal bot trades a simulated balance against live public prices. No real order is ever placed, so there is no exchange account to connect, no API key to paste and no deposit to make.

03 // NO-CODE SETUP Do I need to know how to code to set up rules?

No. Entry conditions, stop-loss, take-profit and sizing are all set in the same dashboard used for every other bot type.

04 // VENUE CONNECTIVITY Which exchanges' prices can a paper signal bot use?

Live public prices from WOO X, Binance, Bitfinex and Bitkub. Fees are simulated at each exchange's published rates. Paper orders fill at the observed price, with no partial fills and no slippage beyond the fee model, so paper results can differ from live trading.

05 // COST Is the signal bot free?

Yes. Vectixs is free and there is nothing to buy. Every account gets the same limits: up to 2 signal bots running at once and backtests on up to 90 days of history. Paper bots on an account nobody has signed into for 14 days are stopped automatically, and an email warns you at day 11.

06 // MODES Which indicators can a signal bot trade on?

SMA crossover, Bollinger Bands, RSI, MACD and a volume-confirmation mode, plus a combo mode that requires any subset of those five to agree. Every period and threshold is editable, and each mode can be backtested on historical candles before you start it.

07 // ORDER TYPE Does a signal fire a market order?

No. Entries and exits are limit orders placed a configurable offset from price, which pay the maker fee rather than the taker fee. The cost is that an order price runs past without touching may never fill. The one exception is the stop-loss, which sells at market by design.

08 // COMBO How does the combo mode combine signals?

Either every active signal must agree, with none of them still warming up, or a simple majority of those that currently have a view. There is no "any one signal" rule, because that is the same as running the signals independently and would increase false entries.

09 // SHORTING Can a signal bot go short?

No. The state machine is flat or long. It buys when the signal fires and sells when the opposite fires, so a bearish reading closes a position rather than opening an inverse one.

10 // DRAWDOWN HALT How does the max-drawdown halt decide to stop?

It compares your paper account's equity with the highest point it has reached. Once equity falls further below that high than your limit allows, the bot opens no new positions until you resume it from the dashboard. A position already open can still exit normally. The halt reads the whole paper account, so every bot and manual trade on it counts toward the figure.
