Badges & prices
The table shows a plan. Once the cycle runs, small colored badges are layered on the rows to show the live truth — where an order really sits, what the scalp is doing, and what actually filled. This page is the legend, and it answers the obvious question: the number on a badge — what price is that?

The color legend
| Color | Badge | Appears when | The price it shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| 🟡 Yellow | 560.09 | A live order rests at a price different from the plan column (re-placed, or the recomputed close). | The order's actual resting price on the book right now. |
| 🟢 Green | micro 557.90 × 0.168 | The micro-scalp is live on the book (or arming). | The micro sell price × the slice size being scalped. |
| 🔵 Blue | micro 557.90 … | The micro is waiting — price is above it, or out of the zone. | Where the micro would rest once price comes back under it. |
| 🔴 Red | micro 557.90 ✕ | The micro is blocked — it would cross the split. | Where the micro would need to sit; it can't be placed there. |
| ⚪ Grey/white | 558.45 / 0.020 | An order has actually executed (fully or partly). | The real fill — average price (quote ÷ filled) or filled quantity. Tooltip: real price / real qty. |
| ✓ / ✗ | green ✓ / red ✗ | Forecast on a zone rung (see Grid marks). | — (fit / no-fit, not a price.) |
A grey ×N may also appear on a close rung — that is the micro-fire counter: how many bounces this rung has banked.
Why yellow exists
The column shows the planned price. A live order can rest somewhere else — you re-placed it, or the close was recomputed from real fills. The yellow badge surfaces the real resting price so the table never lies. Hover it: current price (re-placed).
What a micro order is
A micro order is a small partial close of the deepest filled rung's own volume — a slice, not the whole position.
- On a Long cycle it is a SELL; on a Short, a BUY.
- It is priced at that rung's entry, marked up by Micro profit % + commission — a quick take-profit just above where the rung bought.
- When it fills, the bot re-buys the dip and re-arms, banking that bounce (×N).
It is completely separate from the whole-position close: the close sells everything at the averaged price and ends the cycle; a micro sells one rung's slice for a small profit and leaves the position open to keep scalping. The micro's job is to earn from the chop while the position waits for its real close.
How a buy or sell actually happens
Every price you see on a badge is a limit order — the bot does not buy or sell at market. A limit order rests on the book at a set price and only trades when the market reaches it:
- BUY rungs fill as price falls to them (averaging the position down).
- The whole-position close and the micro sells fill as price rises to them.
So a badge's number is always either where an order is resting (yellow, green, blue, red) or where one actually filled (grey). Nothing on the table is a market action — a fill happens only when price comes to the order.
