TradeBotPro Pro Version

Basic strategy based on simple price change and volume thresholds. Identifies general momentum or mean reversion.

Advanced algorithms incorporating **RSI (Relative Strength Index)** and **MACD (Moving Average Convergence Divergence)** for more nuanced and precise entry/exit signals. Distinguishes between strong momentum for day trades and oversold conditions for swing trades.

✘ **Not Included.** The Lite version can only purchase whole shares. This limits your investment to stocks affordable in full share increments, potentially leaving idle cash.

Example: With $35, you cannot buy a stock priced at $100.

✓ **Included.** The Pro version intelligently buys fractional shares for eligible stocks. This allows you to deploy nearly 100% of your capital, even into high-priced stocks like Google ($170+) or Nvidia ($1200+).

**Benefit:** This means you can significantly increase your MAX STOCK PRICE window, gaining access to a much wider range of companies with higher growth potential that were previously out of reach for smaller investments. Every dollar works harder for you.

✘ **Not Included.** The Lite version is limited to trading traditional stocks (equities) only.

✓ **Experimental Options Module.** The Pro version includes an experimental module to trade options (Calls/Puts). This feature, while high-risk, offers the potential for amplified returns on correct market predictions.

**Benefit:** Diversify your strategies and potentially capitalize on market movements with greater leverage.

✘ **Not Included.** If the bot is stopped or crashes, it loses track of its previous trades, realized P/L, and open positions. You would need to manually re-configure or re-enter data.

✓ **Included.** The Pro version automatically saves its internal state (total profit, daily P/L, open trades) to a file. This ensures your progress is never lost, even across restarts or system interruptions.

**Benefit:** Seamless operation and peace of mind, knowing your bot can pick up exactly where it left off.

✘ **Not Included.** The Lite version relies solely on its internal tracking, which can become inaccurate if you manually buy/sell positions or cancel orders outside the bot.

✓ **Included.** At startup, the Pro version actively reconciles its internal state with your live Alpaca brokerage account. It rebuilds its list of open positions and recalculates realized P/L from your order history, ensuring 100% accuracy even after manual interventions.

**Benefit:** Your reported profit/loss and active positions are always perfectly aligned with your brokerage, eliminating discrepancies.

✘ **Stops at Market Close.** The Lite version is designed to stop trading and liquidate swing positions at market close, requiring manual restart the next trading day.

✓ **Auto-Resumes at Market Open.** The Pro version remains running and automatically detects market open, seamlessly resuming trading activities without any manual intervention from you.

**Benefit:** Truly set-and-forget automation, maximizing trading hours without constant monitoring.

✘ **Not Included.** The Lite version does not have global limits for daily profit/loss or maximum concurrent trades, making it harder to control overall account risk.

✓ **Included.** The Pro version features configurable daily profit targets and stop-loss limits that can halt trading for the day if reached. It also limits the number of concurrent open positions to prevent over-exposure.

**Benefit:** Protect your capital and enforce disciplined trading strategies at an account level.

Basic configuration for profit targets and stop losses.

✓ **Advanced Configuration.** Granular control over RSI, MACD thresholds, volume filters, and other technical indicator parameters to fine-tune strategies.

**Benefit:** Adapt the bot's behavior to different market conditions and personal trading styles.
