What is a Pump and Dump Strategy?
The Pump and Dump (P&D) scheme is used by speculative traders to manipulate a coin's value artificially.
- Pump: The price of a coin is intentionally inflated to attract buyers.
- Dump: Once the price peaks, assets are sold, causing the value to crash within minutes.
While some traders profit from this strategy, it carries a high risk of instant losses.
How Pump Protection Works
-
For GRID and BTD Bots:
- Pump Protection is enabled by default when Trailing features (Trailing Up or Trailing Down) are activated.
- If abnormal price movement is detected, the bot’s status changes to “Pump”:
- Trailing Up stops adjusting grids upward.
- Trailing Down stops adding grids downward.
- Disabling it increases risk, particularly for volatile trading pairs.
-
For DCA Bots:
- Prevents opening positions during abnormal price fluctuations (applies to both "Immediately" and "By indicator" signal options).
- Pump Protection remains mandatory for BTD Bots when Trailing features are active.
