SafeTrade, YFDAI’s automated low-frequency trading bot, available on StackedInvest.com to YFDAI holders as well as the general public, has concluded its original 60-day trials (snapshots of participants has been taken), during which YFDAI token-holders were offered and many took advantage of the opportunity to stake and earn up to 80% discounts on future bot-leasing fees. The trading bot took a few directional positions in BTC and ETH against the USD, applying conservative leverage, and deploying swing and scalp trading algorithms, in the midst of an aggressively bullish market. The results are in and even in such a singularly trending market, the bot earned its keep by adding results above and beyond a simple buy-and-hold strategy.

Also, as a reminder, the leasing and referral fee-share to be earned by YFDAI are to be directed toward the general buy-back-and-burn program that will permanently remove YF-DAI tokens from circulation.

Getting Started using SafeTrade

The YFDAI BTC and ETH trading systems operate on both a scalp and swing functionality using a preset range of filtering parameters to determine the following:

a) Whether to enter a long or short position

b) Whether the position is to be a scalp trade or a swing trade

Scalp/Swing trades use different stop losses/take profits for the trade.

The systems also use a ‘Profit Lock’ functionality that at a defined trigger % will place a close order at a certain % above the entry price. This locks in a small profit if the trade starts to turn into a losing trade.
