Sequential Execution

Execute orders in a predetermined sequence as each price target is reached.

Scale In/Out

Gradually build or exit positions across multiple price levels to get better average prices.

Set and Forget

Define your entire trading plan upfront and let the bot execute it automatically.

Price Level Control

Specify exact prices for each order to execute your strategy with precision.

Flexible Sizing

Configure different order sizes for each level to match your risk management needs.

24/7 Monitoring

Bot watches price levels continuously and executes orders even while you sleep.

How Order Bots Work

Execute trading plans systematically

Order bots execute a list of orders sequentially as price levels are reached. For example, you might set buy orders at $45,000, $44,000, and $43,000 to scale into a Bitcoin position. The bot places the first order and monitors price. When filled, it places the next order automatically.

This is perfect for taking profits in stages ($51k, $52k, $53k) or entering positions gradually during dips. You define the entire sequence upfront—order types, prices, sizes, and conditions. The bot handles execution timing and order management.

Use Cases

Common order bot strategies

Take-profit ladders: Sell portions of your position at multiple resistance levels to maximize gains. Scale-in buying: Accumulate assets gradually during pullbacks to average down entry prices. Breakout trading: Place orders above resistance levels that execute when price breaks through.

Support/resistance plays: Set orders at key technical levels where reversals are likely. Range trading: Alternate buy and sell orders within a defined price channel. Complex exits: Implement sophisticated profit-taking strategies with multiple targets.

Order bot use cases
Advanced Configuration

Fine-tune your execution

Configure order types (market, limit, stop-limit), expiration times, post-only flags, and conditional logic. Set time-based delays between orders or wait for confirmation signals. Use percentage-based sizing relative to portfolio or position size.

Combine with technical indicators to trigger order sequences only when conditions are met. Monitor execution via detailed logs showing which orders filled, at what prices, and remaining orders in the sequence. Adjust the plan mid-execution if market conditions change.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is an order bot?

    An order bot automatically executes a predefined sequence of orders based on price levels or conditions. You specify the complete trading plan—order types, prices, sizes, and triggers—and the bot handles execution. When each order fills, the bot automatically places the next order in the sequence.

    This eliminates manual order placement while ensuring your strategy executes exactly as planned. Order bots are ideal for systematic position building, staged profit-taking, or any scenario requiring multiple orders at different price levels.

  • How is an order bot different from regular trading?

    With manual trading, you place each order individually and monitor constantly. Order bots automate the entire sequence—you define the plan once, and the bot executes all orders without further intervention. This saves time, ensures consistency, and removes emotional decision-making during execution.

    Order bots also provide better execution by monitoring 24/7 and reacting instantly when price levels are reached. You can implement complex multi-step strategies that would be tedious or error-prone to execute manually, especially across multiple assets.

  • Can I modify order sequences while running?

    Yes, HaasOnline allows you to adjust order sequences during execution. Cancel remaining orders, modify price levels, change order sizes, or add new orders to the sequence. This flexibility lets you adapt to changing market conditions while maintaining automated execution.

    You can also pause the bot to prevent new orders, resume execution when ready, or reset the sequence entirely to start fresh. Real-time monitoring shows which orders are pending, filled, or cancelled, giving you complete visibility and control.

  • What happens if an order doesn't fill?

    Configure expiration behavior for each order—wait indefinitely for the fill, cancel after a timeout period, or skip to the next order. For limit orders in fast-moving markets, you might set short timeouts to avoid chasing price. For scale-in strategies during consolidation, longer waits may be appropriate.

    The bot can also adjust order prices if the market moves away—chase with modified limit orders or switch to market orders if immediate execution becomes necessary. You control how aggressive or patient the bot should be with unfilled orders.

  • How do I determine optimal order levels?

    Use technical analysis to identify support/resistance levels, Fibonacci retracements, moving averages, or volatility bands. For scaling in, space buy orders at support levels where bounces are likely. For scaling out, place sell orders at resistance levels or psychological round numbers.

    Consider percentage-based spacing (every 5% move) for systematic accumulation or distribution. Backtest different level configurations to see which produces the best average prices and fill rates. Market depth analysis can reveal where large orders cluster.

  • Do I need coding skills to use order bots?

    No coding required. HaasOnline provides a visual interface where you define order sequences by specifying prices, sizes, and order types. Create your trading plan using simple configuration options—add orders to the list, set execution conditions, and start the bot.

    Advanced users can use HaasScript to create dynamic order sequences based on real-time market data, technical indicators, or external signals. But the vast majority of order bot strategies work perfectly with the standard configuration interface.
