Learn about ATA bots, their distinct features, and how they compare to Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) bots. Discover the key factors contributing to Mizar's leadership in ATA bots and understand the process of investing in them.

ATA bots represent a cutting-edge approach to cryptocurrency trading, distinguished by their adaptability and real-time execution.

At the heart of ATA lies the concept of continuous engagement with the market. Trades are executed in increments until a predefined level of profit is achieved, whether absolute or relative. This iterative process allows for swift capital turnover and minimizes exposure to prolonged market fluctuations.


Unlike Dollar Cost Averaging (DCA) bots, which rely on increasing position sizes by executing Safety Orders in response to adverse price movements, ATA strategies use a dynamic blend of position sizing and profit-taking mechanisms to optimize returns and manage risk.


When comparing ATA strategies with DCA bots, several key distinctions come to light: 

  • Safety Orders and Risk Management: Unlike DCA bots, ATA strategies don't rely on triggering safety orders if prices move against the average entry price. Instead, ATA dynamically adjusts the size of the position by using a mix of adding and removing funds at dynamic levels. This approach offers a fluid and responsive way to manage risk in real-time market conditions. 

  • Maximum Investment and Base Orders: The maximum investment of ATA bots is primarily determined by the base orders executed when a new position is opened, as well as the maximum add funds allowed by your subscription. The maximum investment reflects the total sum of additional funds that can be added at a single point of time. ATA's base orders tend to be larger than those of DCA bots since ATA does not rely on DCA as a risk management technique. 

  • Duration of Positions and Market Exposure: ATA bots typically keep positions open for longer periods compared to DCA bots. However, the exposure to the market varies based on the amount of funds added and removed. This flexibility allows ATA bots to adapt to changing market conditions while maintaining a balanced exposure to potential opportunities. 

  • Unrealized PnL vs Realized PnL: DCA bots rely on a single final exit and operates with unrealized Profit and Loss throughout the entire holding period. In contrast, ATA bots employ numerous exits for partial sales and aims to minimize unrealized Profit and Loss throughout the trading process.

  • Hedging with Long and Short Positions: ATA bots often utilize a blend of long and short positions on the same pair to hedge against market volatility and minimize risk. This strategy allows ATA bots to capitalize on both upward and downward price movements, enhancing overall portfolio performance and resilience.


One prominent example of ATA implementation is the Rocket Science v2.4 available on Mizar's marketplace. This bot introduces the concept of managing batch sizes and executing forced-auto-hedges to adapt to evolving market conditions.


How to invest in ATA bots?

Investing in an ATA bot shares many similarities with investing in DCA bots, albeit with a few nuanced differences: 

  • Maximum Additional Funds: To invest in an ATA bot, you'll need to specify the maximum amount of funds that the bot is allowed to add to positions at a single point of time. This parameter ensures that the bot operates within predefined limits and helps manage risk effectively. 

  • Calculation of Maximum Investment: The maximum investment is calculated as the sum of the base order multiplied by the maximum number of positions selected, along with the maximum allowed add funds. This calculation gives investors clarity on the total amount of capital that might be invested by the ATA bot. 

  • Absence of Safety Orders: Unlike DCA bots, ATA bots do not rely on safety orders to mitigate risk if prices move against the average entry price. Instead, ATA dynamically adjusts position sizes and employs real-time risk management techniques to navigate market fluctuations.

Is there anything I should be aware of regarding ATA bots before utilizing them?

As always, it's crucial to grasp the fundamentals of futures trading before delving into any trading activities on Mizar. Moreover, we strongly advise maintaining funds beyond the Maximum Investment and exceeding the trader's recommendations. While ATA offers advanced risk management, significant market swings could lead to liquidation, resulting in a complete loss of funds. Additionally, we emphasize never investing more than you can afford to lose, under any circumstances.
