Great question! You can do that in the r/Bitty_Bot Testing Area. Any commands posted in r/Bitty_Bot will trigger a response from the bot, but will not actually save a notification, prediction, or paper trade. Perfect for testing to make sure you have the format right!

Sure! Just send Bitty Bot a message and he will be happy to help fix it. Note: Please send a support message as quickly as possible, Bitty Bot may refuse to fix mistakes that seem like they are from regret instead of an honest typo!

Bitty Bot gets price information from Coinbase Pro and only Coinbase Pro.

Originally, Bitty Bot checked the price via the Coinbase API roughly twice a second. However, this was not fast enough to catch quick wicks during times of high volatility. As of Jan 14 2024, in addition to rapidly checking the current price, Bitty Bot will also get every 1 minute candle from Coinbase and run the high and low prices of the candle against all trades, predictions, and notifications. This ensures that absolutely no price triggers are missed.

Yes! As of Jan 28 2024, Bitty Bot accepts sats via the Lightning Network so users can pay to reload their Paper Trading Cash Balance. Your cash balance is allowed to go negative and still allow you to trade, but you are limited to a max trade size of $5k + Leverage. For example, 10,000 sats (worth $6.66) will reload your balance $100,000.

For fairness, you can only reload if your balance is below $100k and you cannot reload your balance past the original $100k. (For example, if your balance is -$200k you can reload a max of $300k to get your balance back to $100k)

Bitty Bot is about giving back and adding fun to the r/BitcoinMarkets community, not making a profit. All sats paid will be put into a Prize Pool for use in future trading tournaments.

Learn More About Balance Reloads

The Bitty Bot Prize Pool is the amount of sats users have paid Bitty Bot for things like balance reloads. All sats in the Prize Pool will be used for future trading tournaments and other prizes. Bitty Bot does not keep any sats for itself.

When you use leverage to paper trade, you are borrowing money from the Bitty Bot Bank to trade with. For example, if you write the command !bitty_bot long $20,000 10X you will be longing a TOTAL of $20,000 worth of BTC.
$2,000 will come from your cash balance and $18,000 will be borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank.

However, using leverage puts you at risk of liquidation. Sticking with the same example, let's assume the current price of Bitcoin is $50,000. Longing $20k means you longed 0.4BTC ($20k/$50k). This means your liquidation price would be $45k ($50k*(1-(1/10X))).
If the price of Bitcoin touches $45k or below, the 0.4BTC is now worth only $18k (0.4*$45k), the amount you borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank.
Bitty Bot forces your trade to close, pays the Bank back the $18k you borrowed, and the $2k spent from your cash balance is lost.

Stop losses can be used to close a trade before your liquidation price is hit, preventing a total loss on a trade.

Leverage Formula: Cash_Spent = Total_Amount * (1 / Leverage_Amount)
Ex: $2,000 = $20,000 * (1 / 10X)

Liquidation Price Formula: Liquidation_Price = Trade_Open_Price * (1 - (1 / Leverage_Amount * -1_If_Short))
Ex: $45,000 = $50,000 * (1 - (1 / 10X))

Stop loss and take profit prices can be used to trigger a trade to close automatically at a certain price. A trade can have a stop loss price, take profit price, or both, or neither.

If the price of Bitcoin is currently $50k and you write the command !bitty_bot long $20,000 10X sl $48,000 tp $59,000 you are setting a stop loss at $48k and a take profit at $59k.

In this trade, you are longing 0.4BTC and your liquidation price is $45k, resulting in a total loss of your $2k in cash if liquidated. However, due to the stop loss at $48k your trade would be automatically closed (with no slippage) if the price of BTC hits $48k or below.
Closing at $48k would result in $1,200 (($48,000 * 0.4) - $18,000) returning to your cash balance, only an $800 loss vs the total loss of $2,000 if liquidated.

On the other side, if the price of BTC hits $59k or above, your trade will be automatically closed (with no slippage) at $59k to lock in a profit of $5,600 (($59,000 * 0.4) - $18,000) that will be added to your cash balance.

You can use the "edit" command to add, change, or remove your SL and TP at any time without closing your trade. Example: !bitty_bot edit sl $48,000 tp remove

Due to the limitation of only being able to have one trade open at a time, it is not currently possible to "hedge" a long-term long trade with a temporary short trade, or vice versa. However, this can be worked around by being able to instantly replace one trade with another, with no slippage.

For example, if you currently have a 10X long open because you are long-term bullish, but think the BTC price could go down in the short term, you can instantly replace your 10X long with a lower-leverage long, or a short, simply by placing a new trade.

Placing a new trade will instantly close your current trade at the current price, and open your new trade at that same price, with no slippage.

This feature allows you to quickly "hedge" or reposition your trade without having to first close your existing trade and risking the market price changing rapidly before you can open your new trade in times of high volatility.

To utilize this feature, simply write a new trade command. Bitty Bot will close your current trade and open the new one in a single response.

Limit Commands allow you to set long and short paper trades (or close or edit a trade) in advance that will trigger at a certain price, the Limit Price.

For example, if the current price is $50k and you would like to place a 100X short with your MAX balance if we drop to $49k the command would be !bitty_bot limit $49,000 short max 100x

Limit Commands also allow you to set a partial close, or edit a Stop Loss or Take Profit at a certain price, to set things like trailing stop losses!

!bitty_bot limit list is used to view and delete your set limit commands.

!bitty_bot limit delete all is used to immediately delete all your set limit commands.

When a Limit Command is triggered, the trade command (after the limit price) will be immediately run and open your trade as if you sent the command to Bitty Bot manually. This means if you have a trade open when the limit command is triggered, your open trade will be closed at the limit price and your limit command will execute at the limit price.

Note: Trade commands on limit orders are not verified UNTIL THE LIMIT COMMAND TRIGGERS. If you have a typo in your trade command, or you do not have sufficient balance to open the trade, the trade open will fail. If you have a trade open when your limit command triggers, and the trade command cannot open your new trade, your existing trade will still be closed! Watch out for typos!

See Paper Trading Command Examples below for more Limit Command examples.

For all examples, assume the current BTC price is $50,000.

!bitty_bot long $50,000 - 1 BTC is longed at 1X (no leverage). $0 is borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank and $50k is deducted from the user's cash balance. Cannot be liquidated due to 1X leverage. No stop loss or take profit is set.

!bitty_bot short $100,000 5X - 2 BTC is shorted at 5X. $80k is borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank and $20k is deducted from the user's cash balance. Liquidation price = 50,000 * (1 - (1 / 5X * -1)) = $60,000, -1 is added to the calculation due to it being a short. No stop loss or take profit is set.

!bitty_bot long $2,000,000 20X sl $48000 - 40 BTC is longed at 20X. $1,900,000 is borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank and $100k is deducted from the user's cash balance. Liquidation price = 50,000 * (1 - (1 / 20X)) = $47,500. A stop loss is set at $48,000.

!bitty_bot short $1,000,000 50X tp $45000 - 20 BTC is shorted at 50X. $980,000 is borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank and $20k is deducted from the user's cash balance. Liquidation price = 50,000 * (1 - (1 / 50X * -1)) = $51,000. A take profit is set at $45,000.

!bitty_bot long $5,000,000 100X sl $49900 tp $52000 - 100 BTC is longed at 100X. $4,950,000 is borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank and $50k is deducted from the user's cash balance. Liquidation price = 50,000 * (1 - (1 / 100X)) = $49,500. A stop loss is set at $49,900. A take profit is set at $52,000.

!bitty_bot long MAX 100X sl $49900 tp $52000 - If the user still has a balance of $100k, 200 BTC is longed at 100X. $9,900,000 is borrowed from the Bitty Bot Bank and $100k is deducted from the user's cash balance. 'MAX' calculates the maximum trade amount based on the user's cash balance and selected leverage. Liquidation price = 50,000 * (1 - (1 / 100X)) = $49,500. A stop loss is set at $49,900. A take profit is set at $52,000.

!bitty_bot edit sl $45000 - A stop loss is set to $45,000 for your currently open trade and a take profit, if set, is NOT changed.
