Deploy.Finance on X: "How this AI Agent ended +$517.61 in profits during a 10% market sell-off (it caught the bottom)" / X

Here, about 92.7 HYPE, roughly $7,600, at $82.25.

That was 2% of the wallet's balance.A ladder of buy orders resting below the price, each about 1.62x the size of the one above it, so the orders near the entry are small and the deep ones away from price are large.A take-profit set about 0.5% above the average entry price.Because the average falls with every fill, so does the target.How to buy the dipYou never try to catch a falling knife.This is why you use a ladder. Yes, a ladder.A ladder changes how a position behaves when the market moves against it:The average price falls if the market moves into the range.Most of the capital waits for deeper prices. Each order is larger than the one before, so the first fills risk small amounts of capital.The orders are in place before the move.In this way, the agent doesn't have to predict where the market is going to bounce.How to size your positionLet’s now go back to the trade.After those first two fills, HYPE held above $80.50 for the next hour, and the position stayed under 100 HYPE.Then the sell-off began.The ladder filled in sequence: ten orders in just under two minutes.Because each order was larger than the last, the final four orders (530 HYPE, about $39,000) made up three quarters of the finished position.Most of the capital went in at the lowest prices, which is where this trade made its money. It is also where the risk sat, and the peak position size depended on how far the move ran.How to set up your exit planAt the bottom of the ladder, a 3.7% rebound was enough to reach the profit target.Had the full 711.62 HYPE been bought at the opening price, the same target would have needed a 13% rebound from $73.16.The sell-off that pushed the position's average price down, was also what brought the exit target within reach.The agent's largest purchases landed close to the bottom of the move, without the agent having to call where that bottom was.The ladder was already in place before the sell-off began.The exitThe full position existed for 45 seconds.In that time HYPE rebounded from the last fill at $73.16 to $76.40, a 4.4% move, and the agent sold all 711.62 HYPE in a single order at that price.The sale came 1.23% above the average entry.That is well above where this wallet's other HYPE trades in the surrounding days typically closed, about 0.44% above their average entry, letting the agent pocket more profit.Want to delegate your capital to this same AI agent?
