3D The 3D Indicator in the Arbitrage Bands Trading System is a 3 standard deviation cloud map of probability, showing a clear path in which the candles must travel. The 3D Indicator allows you to visually see the edge of probability for each band and eliminate improbable price points. This indicator uses 4 of the 7 bands of the Arbitrage Bands Trading System. 3D, indicator
3D Pro The 3D Pro Indicator takes 3D to the next level by using all 7 of the bands in our Arbitrage Bands Trading System. 3D Pro allows you to see probabilities on multiple timeframes or on the same band on multiple timeframes. 3D Pro, indicator
3rd Deviation As candles get to the edge of 3rd deviation of the band, it acts as a point of resistance and should slowly drift in the opposite direction. Arbitrage Band System
Aggressive Entries

While Aggressive TRAP looks for aggressive exits, this setting looks for aggressive trade entries.  With this setting, Arbitrage Trade Assist looks for opportunities that are counter to the long term trend.  The long term trend is just one of 12 possible entry points; by enabling this setting, you are willing to use the other 11 possible entry points before the long term trend changes.

ATA setting, risk management
Aggressive Trailing Stop As soon as the position is open, the Trailing Stop is active.  Whatever your trailing stop value is, if the position draws down that much, Arbitrage Trade Assist will close the position for that loss. ATA setting, risk management
Aggressive TRAP When you enable the Trend Reversal Awareness Protection (TRAP) setting, you have the option to enable Aggressive TRAP. This setting is ideal for ultraconservative traders.  Every time a pair’s price crosses any deviation, Arbitrage Trade Assist will take profit - regardless of if it is a buy or a sell.  Aggressive TRAP checks at every deviation for an opportunity to take profit - in both directions.  If you are positive in the trade, it will take the profit.

    Leverage

    The textbook definition of “leverage” is having the ability to control a large amount of money using very little of your own money and borrowing the rest. For example, to control a $100,000 position, your broker will set aside $1,000 from your account. Your leverage, which is expressed in ratios, is now 100:1. You’re now controlling $100,000 with $1,000.

    Limit Order A limit order is used to try to take advantage of a certain target price and can be used for both buy and sell orders. A limit order instructs the broker to trade a certain number of shares at a specific price or better. For buy orders, this means buy at the limit price or lower. For sell limit orders, it means sell at the limit price or higher. Limit orders guarantee a trade at a particular price. Limit Orders are generally more risky and require more prior planning, but do not need as much time watching the charts. Forex

    Margin Call A margin call occurs when the percentage of an investor’s equity in a margin account falls below the broker’s required amount. The broker's required amount will vary depending on the broker. A broker may force a trader to sell assets (regardless of the market price) to meet the margin call if the trader does not deposit funds. Margin calls can occur at any time due to a drop in account value; however, they are more likely to happen during periods of market volatility. Forex, margin
    Margin Locked When your percent of margin used reaches 25% or higher, your account is considered "margin locked." Arbitrage Trade Assist will still look for profit opportunities on all open trades, but will not enter any new positions until your margin used is below 25% again.

    Risk Limit

    Arbitrage Trade Assist uses the Risk Limit to determine how much money to risk in the market in total. By default, the system will use our standard 25% threshold, however, if you determine that you want to risk more or less, this is the setting to change.  Caution: Setting a Risk Limit greater than 25% could potentially pull you into a margin call. Watch your account and risk closely!

    RSI Line

    The black line within the Arbitrage Band is the RSI Line. The most important concept to remember is this: regardless of the band in use, the RSI Line may never leave the band. It may travel to the top of the band and the bottom, but it will never leave the confines of the band. The RSI Line color will vary depending on the band you are viewing: Arbitrage Band=Black, Novice Band=Orange, Intermediate Band=Blue, Advance Band=Purple, Apocalypse Band=Fuchsia.

    Scaling

    This trade strategy buys or sells in small increments instead of one big order or position. The advantages of this feature is to allows the trader to open a smaller position and increase the position size as the trade progresses in their favor. Using this feature will further reduce the risk on any new positions once the feature is enabled. The default scaling value is 50%. Remember that scaling will give smaller positions which means less drawdown but also smaller profits. This setting does not affect previous open positions. Note: If you have scaling of 33% or less, you should probably use Enforce Take Profit (with Take Profit Goals below) because of the broker fees to enter and exit trades.

    Self Governor You can limit the amount of money Pips is allowed to trade on your behalf. This will leave more cash available for you to withdraw at any time. It will also make your position size smaller for all future positions. If you enable this setting, you will choose the the dollar amount to self govern by using the drop-down menu. For example: If you have a $100,000 account balance and want to withdraw $5,000 each month, set the Self-Governor to $95,000. This way, your monthly withdrawal will not negatively impact your percent margin used and will not increase your risk of being margin called. Withdrawal of funds while upside-down in positions increases the percent of margin used (which could over allocate margin and result in a margin call).

    Snare

    If the Arbitrage Trade Assist algorithms detect that it is no longer probable for a trade to be profitable, ATA will close the position for the loss so that you are not stuck in a position for a long time. This decreased probability happens when your entry price falls outside of the trend top or trend bottom. In addition to closing the position for a loss, Snare will also automatically enter you into a position in the opposite direction. This new position will open without a new alert. If you enable this feature, you must also enable the pair(s) for which you want Snare to be active on. 


    If you enable this setting, your TRAP top will be set to 2 and your TRAP bottom will be set to -2. By default, Snare is disabled on existing accounts. 


    Warning! Be careful if you have open positions! If you turn on Snare with some negative positions, ATA could close some of those open positions for a loss. To prevent this, check WallStreet and know where your open positions are. On the Pair Manager page, you can choose which Forex pairs you wish to enable Snare.

    Trade Expiration

    Trade Expiration helps you not spend too much time in a trade that has gone in the wrong direction for your position. The time allotted before a trade expires is based solely on your Investment Setting. If the trade is open when the time expires, ATA will automatically close the trade, regardless of if it is for a profit or for a loss.


    If you enable this feature, it will only be active for new trades; it will not affect your currently open trades. Once you have a new open trade after enabling Trade Expiration, you can see how much time is left on the open trade by looking at the Open Trades table on your WallStreet page. It is depicted by a small clock; hover over the clock to see its expiration date.

    Trailing Stop While the previous Risk Management Settings are there to protect against large drawdowns, a Tailing Stop is there to protect your profit; it is the maximum amount of money you are willing to give back when you are in a positive position. The default value is 0.5% of full account balance, but you can change that value. This setting will not activate until the unrealized gains on that position is over your trailing stop value or that much under your trailing stop value. Once triggered, it is protecting your unrealized gains and protecting against further losses. The trailing stop adjusts up as your profit increases. If your profit decreases to a value greater than or equal to your trailing stop value, Arbitrage Trade Assist will automatically take profit.

    Trend Reversal Awareness Protection (TRAP) Trend Reversal Awareness Protection (TRAP) is a setting that prevents Arbitrage Trade Assist from entering into a new trade that has a low probability of success due to its location within the band system.  The TRAP setting has two pieces: TRAP Top and TRAP Bottom.  The default setting for Trap Top is +2 (meaning 2 standard deviations above the mean); the default setting for TRAP Bottom is -2 (meaning 2 standard deviations below the mean).  You can adjust these defaults to be anywhere between 3 standard deviations around the mean.  Your settings do not have to be symmetric.  If you only turn on the TRAP setting, then that range is your only trading universe.  For example, if you are in a long/buy position and the pair price reaches +2 standard deviations from the mean, Arbitrage Trade Assist will automatically take profit, regardless of your Take Profit Pips Goal.  You have the option to enable Aggressive TRAP.
