Expert Mode

Expert Mode is a switch that unlocks per-order manual controls inside the grid table. Off (the default), the table is read-only and the bot manages every order. On, you can reach into the live grid and cancel or re-place individual orders by hand.

The switch carries a danger accent when on — a reminder that you are now editing orders the bot is actively managing.

What it unlocks

With Expert Mode on, each order row in the Buy/Sell currency cell can show one control, depending on the order's state:

Order stateControlWhat it does
NEW / PARTIALLY_FILLED (resting) cancelPulls this single order off the book.
CANCELED by you (manually pulled) re-placeRe-opens the order at a new price (via a popup).
FILLED / bot-cancelled / noneNothing to do; no control shown.

The appears only on an order you pulled — never on one the bot cancelled on its own. That distinction is deliberate: a bot-cancelled order is part of the strategy and should not be hand-re-placed by accident.

✕ — cancel one order

Removes a single resting limit order from the exchange book. Nothing is bought or sold — a limit order only trades when price reaches it, so cancelling it before then simply takes it off the book. Use it to pull one specific rung without touching the rest of the grid.

+ — re-place at a new price

On an order you have cancelled, opens a small price popup. You type a new price and the order is placed again there — a fresh limit order back on the book.

The price is entered in a popup, not inline, because the table re-renders every tick and would reset a field mid-edit.

This is hand-editing a live strategy

The bot keeps managing every order you don't touch. Cancelling or moving a rung by hand changes the shape of the position the bot is working — do it only if you understand the consequence for the averaged close and the scalp. For flattening a whole pair at once, use Managing a pair instead. Test your workflow on testnet first.

Expert Mode and the hybrid scalp

Expert Mode and the hybrid scalp can be on at the same time, but they do not share territory equally:

  • Plain DCA rungs — everything above the scalp's arm — are safe to edit. The bot passes over any order you cancel or re-place by hand and keeps managing the rest.
  • The carrying rung (the deepest held entry, where the micro lives) belongs to the scalp. Inside the scalp zone any resting close that is not the micro — including one you placed by hand — is pulled to make room for the micro. Your edit will be overridden on the next tick.
  • The tail slot (the rung right above the carrying one) sizes its order against the position. A manual order sitting on that slot blocks the tail, and a manual close resting elsewhere is not subtracted from it — the combined sell volume can exceed what the account holds, and the exchange will start rejecting orders.

The same applies to the whole-position exit: the hybrid re-prices it from the actual fills (and lowers it as micro profit is banked), so an exit you moved by hand will not survive the next scalp cycle.

Rule of thumb: to hand-edit the exit or anything near the scalp, switch the hybrid off first — it is a live toggle — make your changes, then decide whether to turn it back on. Editing plain DCA rungs does not require this.
