Manually Closing a Position

Taking action directly in your broker account to close a trade opened by a strategy.

Should be done only after stopping the strategy to avoid unintended trades or exposure.

Stop BTCUSD strategy → manually sell open BTCUSD position

Strategy Orders vs Broker Orders

Distinction between trades opened by Capitalise.ai strategies and trades manually executed via the broker.

Feature / Tool

Description

Key Details / Parameters

Example / Notes

TradingView Alerts Integration

Automate strategies using TradingView alerts with Capitalise.ai via webhooks.

Alerts can be based on chart elements, indicators, or custom Pine Script. Webhook URL + JSON message needed. Supports multiple IDs for triggering multiple strategies.

VWAP strategy: Buy when price crosses below lower VWAP band; set webhook URL and message from Capitalise.ai wizard in TradingView alert.

Dynamic TradingView Alert Condition

Allows untriggering a webhook when the TradingView condition is no longer valid.

Add "untrigger": true to JSON message. Ensures strategy condition resets if market moves unfavorably.

Example: Buy BTC/USDT if RSI <30 and price above lower VWAP; untrigger if price drops below VWAP lower band.

Trailing-Take-Profit (TTP)

Locks in profits by activating trailing stop only after reaching a profit threshold.

Profit threshold (nominal/$ or %), trailing stop value (nominal/$ or %), only triggers once threshold is met.

“Close position at trailing take profit (Profit: 5%, Trailing Stop: 2%)” → monitors for 2% drop after reaching 5% profit.

Trailing Stop Loss (TSL)

Dynamically adjusts stop loss as price moves in favor, locking in profits while limiting losses.

Amount or % trailing stop. Applies per entry (hit). Can combine with other exit conditions.

“Close position at trailing stop of 10%” → triggers if P/L drops 10% from peak.

Automate Trailing Stop Loss

Video tutorial demonstrating no-code automation of trailing stop loss on Capitalise.ai.

Visual walkthrough, no additional parameters beyond TSL setup.

Video: Link

Total Stop Loss (Total SL)

Maximum cumulative loss allowed for the strategy. Stops strategy if loss threshold reached.

Value in USD (negative for loss). Independent of individual strategy hits. Cannot be triggered by profit.

Set total SL = -$10,000 → strategy stops if total loss hits $10,000.

Dynamic Entry Limit Price
