Complete guide to configuring your NEXUS Trading bot. Every setting explained step by step.
This guide explains every setting in your NEXUS Trading bot. The bot uses a DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) strategy combined with BTC correlation signals to find profitable entries on altcoins.
All settings are applied within 60 seconds of saving — no restart needed.
💡 Quick tip: If you're new, scroll down to the Quick Setting Presets section. Pick “Conservative”, “Balanced”, or “Aggressive” and copy those values.
Controls when the bot enters a position (buys a coin)
When enabled, the bot waits for Bitcoin to drop and then bounce back before buying altcoins. This catches market reversals.
Why it works: Altcoins typically follow Bitcoin's lead. When BTC bounces from a drop, alts often follow with a delay — creating a profitable entry window.
The minimum percentage Bitcoin must drop to trigger the strategy. Lower = more sensitive, higher = stricter signals.
Default: 0.5 · Range: 0.1 - 5.0 · Recommended: 0.3-0.5
Minimum bounce percentage from the BTC low to confirm a reversal.
Default: 0.3 · Range: 0.1 - 5.0 · Recommended: 0.2-0.3
When no deep dip is found, the bot will buy any coin that has dipped at least this % from its 4-hour high. This is a fallback entry mode.
Default: 5 · Range: 0.5 - 10 · Recommended: 5-7
The preferred deep-dip entry. When a coin drops by this % or more, the bot buys immediately without waiting for BTC bounce confirmation.
Default: 10 · Range: 1 - 30 · Recommended: 7-12
How often the bot checks the market for opportunities. Lower = faster reactions, higher = less API usage.
Default: 60 · Range: 30 - 300 · Recommended: 60
Additional strategy that buys altcoin dips independently of BTC
Enable to let the bot buy altcoins purely based on their own dip from 4-hour high — no BTC bounce required.
Bot scans all symbols and buys the top 3 biggest dippers that have dropped at least this % from their 4-hour high.
Default: 3 · Range: 1 - 20 · Recommended: 3-5
💡 Tip: Buy Zone works alongside BTC Bounce Strategy. Both can be enabled at once for maximum opportunities.
Buying more of a coin when its price drops further to lower your average entry
Enable to allow the bot to add to positions when they drop further.
Comma-separated percentage drops from your first buy at which the bot will add another position.
Default: 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20
Example:
You bought ETH at $3000.
When ETH bounces back, you sell all positions for a combined profit.
🛡️ Conservative
5, 10, 15, 20⚖️ Balanced
4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15🚀 Aggressive
2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20When and how the bot sells positions for profit
Sell when the price rises this % above your buy price. Lower = more wins, smaller wins. Higher = fewer wins, bigger wins.
Default: 2.5 · Range: 0.5 - 20 · Recommended: 2.5-3
When enabled, deeper DCA positions get higher TP targets. A position that bounced from -15% should aim for a bigger recovery than one that just dipped -2%.
Default: Off (uses fixed TP for all positions)
Dynamic TP mapping (when enabled):
A safety net that sells positions in small profit before the main TP
Enable to allow the bot to close positions in small profit if the main TP isn't reached after a while. Frees up capital faster.
Close the position as soon as it reaches this profit %. The default 0.3% covers exchange trading fees and leaves a tiny profit.
Default: 0.3 · Range: 0.1 - 5 · Recommended: 0.3-0.5
Wait this many minutes before Early Exit can activate. This prevents instant flips that don't let positions grow.
Default: 60 (1 hour) · Range: 5 - 1440 · Recommended: 60-120
💡 How it works: A position must be at least 60 minutes old AND in profit ≥ 0.3% to qualify for early exit.
Pauses between bot actions to prevent over-trading
After a profitable sell, wait this long before buying the same coin again.
Default: 15 · Recommended: 15-30
Minimum time between new bounce entries (any coin). Prevents the bot from going on a buying spree.
Default: 60 · Recommended: 60-120
When a DCA signal is detected (price dropped to next DCA level), wait this long to confirm the dip is real before buying. Prevents buying on temporary spikes.
Default: 60 · Recommended: 60
Controls how much capital is used per trade
How many USDT the bot spends on one buy order. With multiple DCA layers, one position can grow to 5-10× this size.
Default: 100 · Range: 10 - 10000
Small account ($100-500)
$10-20 per trade
Medium ($500-2000)
$25-50 per trade
Large ($2000+)
$100+ per trade
The bot will never spend below this amount of USDT. It's your safety net.
Default: 1000 · Range: 0 - 100000
Example:
You have $2000 on Pionex and set USDT Reserve to $500. The bot will trade with up to $1500 — leaving $500 untouched.
Maximum number of positions you can have on the same coin. This limits concentration risk.
Default: 6 · Range: 1 - 20 · Recommended: 4-9
Controls which coins the bot trades
When enabled, the bot automatically selects the best coins to trade based on volume and profit simulation. Refreshes hourly.
Recommended: ON
Total number of different coins the bot will trade simultaneously. More symbols = more opportunities but more spread capital.
Default: 25 · Range: 10 - 60
🎯 Focused
10-15 symbols
⚖️ Balanced
20-25 symbols
🌐 Diverse
30-60 symbols
Only needed if your Pionex API keys change
To create new API keys:
⚠️ Security: Never share your API keys. NEXUS only needs trading permission, never enable withdrawals on your API.

Capital protection focus, slower growth
Best for most users
Maximum opportunities, higher risk
Start small: Begin with $100-$200 and small position size ($10-$20). Learn how the bot works before scaling up.
Watch the market widget on the landing page — it shows you the current market mood and recommended settings.
Be patient: DCA strategies need time to work. Some positions may stay open for days waiting for a bounce.
Don't panic: A coin at -15% is normal. The bot is averaging down to lower your entry price.
Adjust gradually: Change one setting at a time and observe results for a few days before changing more.
Reserve is your friend: Always keep some USDT in reserve. It lets the bot DCA on deep dips when opportunities are best.
