The market can be ruthless: first, it shows a confident reversal, gathering a crowd into positions, and then wipes everyone out in a couple of candles.
A real market situation: a sharp BTC rebound from $89,000 to $94,000, where thousands of traders decided “the reversal has begun.” But a few hours later, the market dropped back below the level and set a new local low.
What did the trader do?
The trader saw a sharp upward impulse and a breakout of local resistance. After that, he went long at $94,200. An hour later, the market dropped back below the level, the candles became weaker, but the trader stayed in the position.
BTC fell to $90,500, the trader couldn’t hold on and closed the trade at –3.9%.
What did the Veles bot do?
The bot doesn’t react and checks the structure:
✔ breakout of the level without consolidation — NOT a signal ✔ volume on the impulse is decreasing — NOT a signal ✔ no indicator crossover — NOT a signal ✔ price returned to the Turtle Zone channel — signal for no reversal ✔ RVI remains in the negative zone — confirmation of bearish strength
Result:
The bot does not enter the trade and, instead of the trader’s –3.9% loss, keeps the deposit and waits for real confirmation of the trend.
From a strategy perspective, the profit is +3.9% compared to the human, simply by not entering where the odds were against him.
💡 Sometimes the best entry is no entry at all. A human sees the emotions and the beauty of the candles, while the bot sees structure, logic, and statistics.
