DCA : Start Only Fresh Deals

DCA bots are one of the most powerful tools on 3Commas.

I can see the potential of the new Signal Bot, but as it forced us to use Trading View alerts, if we don't code pine script, it's just impossible to use.

Even if we are just interested in 10 or 20 cryptos, We have to create and handle tens of alerts for starting and closing deals.

More over, Trading View alerts are set up for a certain time scale, a precise exchange, and most of the parameters can't be edited after the creation.

If we miss something, we have to began from scratch.

This lead to a huge amount of work to create and manage signals for the bot.

So I won't give up DCA bot for a while !

Thanks to paper trading, I created a lot of different bots to test them during a long period and improve them on any kind of market conditions.

I've found a pretty efficient MACD + RSI combination, combined with a trading view alert to start the bots only in certain global market conditions.

But,

Today, most of my losses are due to the fact the bot start deals even if the signal is a bit "to old".

Indeed, when I use MACD in hours for exemple, I want the deal start at crossing lines time, not 1, 4, or 8 hours later, otherwise it's to late.

The issue is that if the wallet doesn't have enough funds, the DCA can start new deals only when funds are released and always take signal passed since several hours, so the dip is to far and the chance that the trade start on a top is very high.

It leads to tens of bad deals that make me lost money, even if the original Signal is well timed.

---So an option, under "Start Deal Condition", like "Start Fresh Deals Only", with maybe a "Maximum Time Out", will be a major feature!

---Another nice feature will be to have the ability to set up multiple take profits.

---And an option to bring the stop loss at enter price

Will probably allow to limit losses due to bad starting signals.

I think the best feature will be to have 2 stop loss.

One classic stop loss like the one that already exists with trailing capabilities, and a second one that can automatically bring at enter price and eventually different take profits levels.

Conclusion :

But for now, the most essential feature is the "Start Fresh Deals Only", because it's the main cause of losses for a lot of good bots.
