FIBO — Fibonacci grid bot (“Aftershock”)

FIBO lays a grid of buy and sell orders on Fibonacci retracement levels inside a price range you define. It automates the “Aftershock” (AS) trading strategy: working the correction wave that follows a growth phase — buys on the retracement levels, sells one level up. When several levels fill, the sells are re-placed around the average entry — part of the position exits at breakeven, part with profit; once the sells execute, that level’s play is complete. In a strong one-way trend the grid accumulates a position — that is what stop-loss rules are for.

Prerequisites: the bot lifecycle and the shared config blocks.

How it trades

1. You define the range — bottom ("0") and top ("1") — and intermediate Fibonacci levels (0.236, 0.382, 0.5, 0.618, 0.786), each as a channel with its own buy price, sell price and share of the deposit.
2. The bot places buy orders at channel levels below the current price. When a channel’s buy fills, its sell order goes out at that channel’s sell price.
3. When several levels fill, the sells are placed around the average entry — in the terminal this looks like take-profits shifted to breakeven (knowledge-base example: levels 0.5 and 0.382 both fill → everything is offered at 0.5; one buy exits flat, the other with profit). Once the sells execute, the play is complete — per the AS methodology a worked level is not re-traded — the strategy terminates (FIBO has no auto-restart: restart/reuse exist only for Channel and Squeeze).
4. Optional trailing delays entries: buys follow the falling price and execute on a configured reversal, catching knives closer to the bottom.

Minimal working config

Verified POST /v2/bots body — five channels (three active + the two required boundaries):

{
  "type": "FIBO",
  "settings": {
    "type": "FIBO",
    "symbol": { "base": "SOL", "quote": "USDT" },
    "ticker": "SOLUSDT",
    "name": "SOL Fibo Basic",
    "exchange": "binance-futures",
    "timeFrame": 900000,
    "deposit": { "value": "300", "asset": "USDT", "strategy": "fixed", "allocate": "no_reserve" },
    "positionSide": "LONG",
    "trailing": false,
    "strategy": "fixed",
    "channels": [
      { "name": "1",     "depositePercent": "0",  "buy": "68.50", "sell": "69.50", "fiboPrice": "68.50" },
      { "name": "0.500", "depositePercent": "35", "buy": "66.50", "sell": "68.50", "fiboPrice": "66.50" },
      { "name": "0.382", "depositePercent": "30", "buy": "66.00", "sell": "68.00", "fiboPrice": "66.00" },
      { "name": "0.236", "depositePercent": "25", "buy": "65.00", "sell": "67.50", "fiboPrice": "65.00" },
      { "name": "0",     "depositePercent": "10", "buy": "64.00", "sell": "66.50", "fiboPrice": "64.00" }
    ],
    "mergeChannels": false,
    "green": 2
  }
}

Then POST /bots/{id}/runs — and watch the botStatus and orders channels.

Channel definition — FiboChannelDef

⚠️ Channels "0" and "1" are mandatory. They define the grid boundaries; the bot validates their presence and refuses to start without them — even with depositePercent: "0".

FIBO-specific fields

Everything from the shared blocks applies (symbol — object form; timeFrame — milliseconds), plus:

✳ — required (full required set: type, symbol, exchange, deposit).

Advanced example — all 7 levels, trailing, prepared stop-loss

Verified config: full Fibonacci ladder, trailing from a fixed timestamp with a 30% cap, 30-day TTL, a pre-configured but disabled breakeven stop (enable it later at runtime via update_stoploss), and waitFullSell discipline:

}

Pitfalls

• Missing "0"/"1" channels — the most common start failure. Add both, even at 0%.
• depositePercent must sum to 100 across channels (boundaries may be "0").
• The field is spelled depositePercent — a copy of the platform’s internal name; a «corrected» depositPercent is silently ignored (remember, deep validation happens at start).
• trailingFrom older than one year is rejected.
• timeFrame here is milliseconds (60000 = 1m) — unlike ALGO where it is minutes (the shapes table).
• In strong trends the grid accumulates inventory: cap the damage with a real (enabled) stop-loss or maxRangePercent.
