What does AutoTrade.Enabled control?

The AutoTrade.Enabled setting is the master switch for automatic trade execution in the Extreme Volatility Monitor.

Example configuration:

AutoTrade:
  Enabled: true

⚙️ How It Works

When AutoTrade.Enabled = true:

• The bot will automatically open trades when the configured volatility thresholds (Threshold, TradeTriggerOn, etc.) are met.
• Trades will follow the configured direction (Reverse or Momentum), symbols, and initial amounts.
• Risk management settings such as Stop-Loss, Take-Profit, and DCA are applied to auto-trades.

When AutoTrade.Enabled = false:

• The bot will not open trades automatically, even if volatility exceeds the threshold.
• Existing trades continue to be managed normally.
• Alerts and emergency closes still function as configured.

🎯 Key Takeaways

1. Enables automatic entry

   • Only controls whether trades are executed automatically.

2. Does not disable monitoring

   • The volatility engine still calculates average movement.
   • Pump or crash alerts are still sent.

3. Emergency protection still works

   • Emergency closes are applied even if AutoTrade is disabled.
   • Provides safety without opening new positions.

📊 Example Scenario

AutoTrade:
  Enabled: false
  Threshold: 1.8
  TradeDirection: "Reverse"

• Market moves 2% in 1 minute → exceeds Threshold
• No trades are opened because AutoTrade is disabled
• Telegram/Discord alerts are sent
• Existing positions may still be closed if emergency close conditions are met

🚀 Summary

AutoTrade.Enabled toggles automatic trading during extreme volatility:

• ✅ True → Trades are executed automatically
• ❌ False → No auto-trades, but alerts and emergency close protections remain active

It allows you to monitor and protect your positions without committing to automatic entries.
