An automated trading plan is a set of exit rules attached to a position before it needs them. Instead of watching a chart and deciding in the moment, you define in advance what gain triggers a sale, what loss triggers a stop, and how much of the position each rule controls.
The simplest version is a single take-profit and stop-loss pair. That is enough for a lot of trades, and it removes the two worst outcomes: riding a winner all the way back to break-even, and letting a loser run because selling makes it real.
Multi-stage plans handle the case where one exit does not fit. A position can sell a third at 2x, a third at 5x, and trail the remainder with a stop that follows the high — three different behaviours from one entry. A moon bag takes this further by deliberately keeping a small unmanaged remainder after the profit stages complete, on the theory that the occasional 50x pays for a lot of small bags going to zero.
Automation cuts both ways, and it is worth being blunt about it. A badly set stop-loss will crystallize a loss that a patient holder would have recovered. A trailing stop that is too tight will sell your best trade of the month during a routine wick. The value is not that automation makes better decisions than you — it is that it makes the decision you already reasoned through, at a moment when you would have been reasoning badly.
Basic Mode
Basic Mode gives every position the same take-profit, stop-loss, and trailing-stop treatment, with optional price protection and moon-bag behaviour. Set it once and it applies to new entries by default.
This is the right starting point. Get a feel for how the triggers behave on real positions before you start building tranches.
Plan Mode
Plan Mode splits a position into stages, each with its own trigger and its own share of the position. Built-in plans cover common styles; custom plans let you define the stages yourself.
Plans can be assigned as a global default, attached to a specific signal source, or applied to an individual position — which is how a promotion-driven entry ends up on tighter rails than a high-conviction one without you doing anything per trade.
The trade-off
Every automated exit is a bet that the rule you wrote calmly beats the decision you would make under pressure. That is usually true, which is the whole point, but it stops being true if the rule was wrong.
Prefer plans you can explain in one sentence. Then check whether trailing stops actually helped in your own trade history rather than assuming they always do — for some styles they systematically sell too early.
Common questions
Direct answers, including the ones where the honest answer is “no”.
A stop-loss sells at a fixed price level you set. A trailing stop follows the position's high and sells when price retraces a set percentage from that high, so it locks in gains as a position runs.
A moon bag is a deliberately unmanaged remainder of a position kept after your profit-taking stages complete. It gives up on optimizing that portion in exchange for exposure if the token keeps running.
Yes. Exit plans can be assigned globally, per signal source, or per individual position, so promotion-driven entries can run tighter exits than higher-conviction ones.
No. Exits execute against live market conditions, and volatile memecoins can gap through a stop level or become illiquid. Automation enforces a decision; it does not guarantee a fill price or a profitable outcome.
Trailing take-profit only begins trailing once a gain threshold is reached, and is gated by a drawdown condition. It is designed to avoid selling early during normal volatility on the way up.
