⚠️ Crypto involves risk: you may lose part or all of the capital you invest. Theta is not a financial advisor and does not guarantee any return. Only invest what you can afford to lose.

Why trust it

Trade-only key, no withdrawals

The API key reads and trades — but can't withdraw. Your funds never leave your exchange account.

Never sells at a loss

No stop-loss, by design: if price drops, the bot holds and reopens later. You only realize a gain.

Free test mode

Simulate with a virtual balance, no time limit, before risking a single real cent.

Grows on its own, public plan

Half of each profit reinvests, half goes to a vault; the pilot climbs from $100 to $10,000 following a published plan. A rule, not a promise.

How the trailing stop works for LINK

The trailing stop doesn't sell at a fixed price — it follows the peak. If you set +3%:

  1. 1Bot buys at $100.
  2. 2Price rises to $103 — target hit. The trailing stop activates and starts tracking the peak.
  3. 3Price rises further, to $110. The trailing stop follows: new ceiling = $110.
  4. 4Price drops 2% from the peak ($107.80). Bot sells — a bigger profit than $103.

In our corrected backtest, selling at the target beat trailing — that's why it's the default (trailing is an option for strong trends). In a 5-year by-regime study, the Cycle doesn't beat simply holding through a strong bull; its value is discipline: it locks small green gains and never sells at a loss (nor below your configured target).

Frequently asked questions

Does the bot sell LINK at a loss if it drops a lot?
No — the bot never sells at a loss. If Chainlink falls below your average cost, it holds the position and reopens the cycle once price recovers. You only sell in profit — which matters for a DeFi coin like Chainlink (a decentralized oracle network connecting smart contracts to real-world data).
Does Theta have access to withdraw my balance?
No. You connect Theta to your Binance, Bybit and Coinbase account with a read-and-trade-only key. Without withdrawal permission, it's impossible to move your LINK off the exchange.
Which profile should I pick for LINK?
"Balanced" is the recommended starting point. As DeFi, Chainlink tends to be highly volatile — "Active" (+1.5%) turns over more and rides the swings.
Does the bot trade LINK on its own, even with my PC off?
Yes. Theta runs on cloud servers — even with your computer off, the bot monitors LINK/USDT on Binance and executes orders nonstop. You can get Telegram alerts if you like.

DCA or Cycle: which one is for you?

Cycle buys LINK on the dip and sells in profit — ideal if you want to realize gains on Chainlink without ever selling at a loss. DCA (Accumulate) buys at intervals and holds, never selling — ideal if you just want to stack Chainlink for the long run. Both use the same trade-only key, no withdrawals.
