Hold Loop

Buy once, then you decide.

One planned buy — now or at a dip — and then it holds. Nothing sells on its own except an optional stop-loss; you add, trim or sell by hand, with an optional alert at a target.

ControlsAll figures illustrative, per $100 invested. Part 2 is the day it goes wrong — every strategy has one.

How it works

01The loop buys once — immediately, or when the price dips to your trigger.
02From then on it holds. It never sells on its own.
03An optional alert notifies you when the price is +X% above your entry.
04You add, trim or sell by hand. An optional stop-loss is the only automatic sale.

Buys once — now, or at a dip trigger — and then holds. It never sells on its own: you add, trim or sell by hand from the loop’s card, with the same history and notifications as every loop. An optional alert pings you at +X% over your entry — a notification, never an order.

The math, on paper

Buy $100 at $97 (a −3% dip trigger): ≈ 1.031 coin
Alert at +25% = $121.25: a notification, nothing sold
You trim ≈ $35.80 worth at $117: +$6.12 gross
Modeled round-trip fees (0.02%/side): ≈ $0.01
Modeled net profit: ≈ +$6.11
The rest: held until you sell or a stop fires

Worked numbers assume 0.02% per side (the current Binance.US fallback schedule) and exclude spread and slippage. They are illustrations, not forecasts; fees vary by exchange and tier.

Best for

Coins you want to hold with a plan, and manual trades you want tracked in one place.

When it struggles

No automatic exit: a falling coin stays held until you act or the optional stop-loss fires.

Good to know

The alert is a reminder, not a sale. If you rely on it, make sure notifications reach you.

What you set

Entry: Buy now, or at a dip below a price
Order size: The one buy — add more by hand later
Alert when % above entry: Optional notification — default +25%
Stop-loss: Optional — the only automatic sale

Questions

Why use a Hold Loop instead of just buying on the exchange?

You get a planned entry (including a dip trigger), a live view of the position against your entry, an alert at your target, and every add, trim and sale recorded next to your other loops — while every sell stays your decision.
