Entry distribution
If a signal has several entry prices, the bot has to decide what share of the amount goes to each one. Four settings on the Entry screen handle that.
What it is
| Setting | What it does | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Entry distribution | A ready-made strategy for splitting the amount between entries | 5 options |
| Amount distribution by orders | A manual percentage map <order number> - <percentage> | exactly 100 % in total |
| Entry Zone (auto-levels) | If the signal has exactly two entry prices, treats them as the bounds of a zone and places N evenly spaced entries inside | 3–20, 0/DELETE to switch off |
| First Entry price increase | Shifts the first entry price: up for LONG, down for SHORT, so the level is not missed | 0.05–20 % |
Distribution strategies:
| Value | Button | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
EQUAL | Equal | Evenly: 100/N to each entry |
DECREASING_EXP | Decreasing (more near market) | Most on the entry nearest to the market, each next one half as much |
INCREASING_EXP | Increasing (averaging) | Most on the entry farthest from the market, each nearer one half as much |
SKIP_FIRST | Skip first | The farthest entry gets 0 %, the others share equally; with a single entry — 100 % |
CUSTOM | ✏️ Custom (manual % input) | Your own percentage map; this is the default |
Where it is in the bot
Signal bot card → Trading settings → Entry. The screen heading is “Trading Settings → Entry”, the sub-screens are “… → Entry → Distribution” and “… → Entry Zone”.
How to set it up
- Strategy. On the Entry distribution screen press the button for the option you want or send the name as text:
EQUAL,DECREASING_EXP,INCREASING_EXP,SKIP_FIRST,CUSTOM. The bot shows “Distribution preview:” and confirms: “✅ Distribution strategy changed to:EQUAL”. - Manual map. On the Amount distribution by orders screen send the whole layout in one message, for example
1-50 2-30 3-20. Anything not listed counts as zero; the total must be exactly 100 %. Numbers run from 1 to 10 with no repeats; separators are a space, a comma, a semicolon or a line break. The Reset to 5×20% button returns the default layout: entries 1–5 at 20 %, 6–10 at 0 %; the bot replies “✅ Reset to default: 5×20%”. - Entry Zone. Enter the number of levels from 3 to 20; to switch it off send
0orDELETE. The bot replies “✅ Entry Zone: 5 levels”. - First-entry shift. Pick one of the suggested values or enter your own in the range 0.05–20 %.
Example with a calculation
A LONG signal on ETH with three entries: 3,000, 2,950, 2,900. Trade amount 300 USDT.
| Strategy | Entry 3,000 (nearest) | Entry 2,950 | Entry 2,900 (farthest) |
|---|---|---|---|
EQUAL | 100 USDT | 100 USDT | 100 USDT |
DECREASING_EXP (4 : 2 : 1) | 171.4 USDT | 85.7 USDT | 42.9 USDT |
INCREASING_EXP (1 : 2 : 4) | 42.9 USDT | 85.7 USDT | 171.4 USDT |
SKIP_FIRST | 150 USDT | 150 USDT | 0 |
CUSTOM 1-50 2-30 3-20 | 150 USDT | 90 USDT | 60 USDT |
Entry Zone. The same signal but with two prices: 3,000 and 2,850. With Entry Zone = 4 the bot expands the zone into four levels with a step of 50: 3,000, 2,950, 2,900, 2,850 — and says so in the opening notification: “📐 Entry Zone: range 3000–2850 expanded into 4 entry levels.”
First-entry shift. With a value of 0.5 % and a LONG signal with an entry at 3,000, the first order is placed at 3,015: if the market does not quite reach 3,000, the entry still happens.
Limits and allowed values
| Parameter | Range | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Order number in the map | 1–10 | repeats are not allowed |
| Sum of percentages | exactly 100 % | everything not listed = 0 % |
| Entry Zone | 3–20 levels | only when the signal has exactly two entry prices |
| First Entry price increase | 0.05–20 % | 0 % by default |
Common errors and what the bot says
- “Sum of percentages must equal 100%” — the layout was sent in pieces (for example
1-50on its own); send all the numbers at once. - “Duplicate order number” / “Order number must be in the range of 1 to 10” / “Invalid percentage format” — correct the map.
- “Unknown strategy: "EQUAL2". Valid options: EQUAL, DECREASING_EXP, INCREASING_EXP, SKIP_FIRST, CUSTOM” — a typo in the name.
- “Enter a whole number of levels (3 to 20), or 0/DELETE to disable” and “Entry Zone: allowed range is 3 to 20 levels” — the number of levels is outside the range.
- “⚠️ Entry Zone (4 levels) not applied: the signal has 3 entry price(s), but the zone needs exactly 2 — lower and upper bounds. The trade was opened with the prices from the signal.” — this is not an error: the zone only works with two prices.
- “⚠️ Entry Zone not applied: both entry prices in the signal are identical. The trade was opened with the prices from the signal.” — a zone of zero width is skipped.
- “Setting value must be in the range 0.05% - 20%” — the first-entry shift is outside the range.
