ADVANCED SETTINGS
Learn how to use the volatility advanced settings
This section covers more advanced features of the Volatility Bot. If you are not yet familiar with the basics, it’s recommended to review the introductory guide first here.
From ATH (All-Time High) vs Normal Mode
When you define a price drop (for example, 10% over 5 minutes), the bot needs a reference price to detect when that drop happens.
Normal Mode: the bot compares the current price with the price exactly 5 minutes ago. If the price is lower than the defined percentage, the bot buys.
FROM ATH: the bot uses the highest price reached within the 5 minutes time window as the reference. If the current price drops below that peak by the defined percentage, the bot buys immediately.
From ATH is more responsive to sharp spikes followed by fast drops. Combined with Mizar’s speed, this often allows the bot to buy in the same block or right after the drop, giving a strong execution advantage.
MA Filter (Moving Average)
The MA (Moving Average) Filter helps avoid buying immediately after a price spike. A moving average is the average price over a number of periods (for example, MA 9 is the average of the last 9 candles). Because it smooths out extreme moves, it helps filter out false signals.
This filter is useful when a token spikes and then drops quickly. In those cases, the MA filter can prevent the bot from buying into a weak setup.
Dynamic & Delayed Stop Loss
The stop loss can work in two modes:
Normal: stop loss is calculated from the first buy price
Dynamic: stop loss is calculated from the average entry price, taking all DCA buys into account
When using DCA, Dynamic stop loss is recommended because it adapts to your real average entry.
If you use DCA, make sure to set a stop-loss drop that makes sense. For example, if you have a DCA at -20% and a stop-loss drop at -5%, the following will happen: the stop loss will not be activated until the last DCA is executed. In this case, as soon as the DCA is executed, the stop loss will be immediately triggered because the DCA trigger price is already below the stop-loss drop price.
You can also add a stop-loss delay (for example, 10–20 seconds). This helps avoid selling during a large red candle, where price often rebounds shortly after. The delay allows the bot to wait briefly before executing the stop loss.
Note: a delay does not protect against rug pulls or massive sell-offs, since the bot will intentionally wait before selling.
Auto Retry
Auto Retry can be enabled on both buy and sell actions. If a DCA, take profit, or stop-loss transaction fails, the bot will retry automatically. This reduces failed trades and improves overall execution reliability.
Freeze Token After Trades
This feature is useful for young or unstable tokens. You can limit how many times the bot trades the same token (for example, 10 completed trades). Once that limit is reached, the token is frozen for a defined period (one week), preventing further trades and reducing long-term risk.
Cooldown Period
The Cooldown Period prevents the bot from immediately re-entering a trade after closing one. You can define a cooldown time in seconds. Once a trade on a token is closed, the bot will wait for the cooldown period before buying again. This helps avoid excessive overtrading during highly volatile moments.
