Wick Sniper

Live-tested ~1 month on Bybit + KuCoin. Most days it looked excellent — high win rate, many small profits. Then one cascading dump (especially unstable coins like AVAX) erased a large chunk of capital. Archived as research; not offered as a live product bot.

❌ Why It Lost

01

Looks great until it doesn’t

On Bybit and KuCoin the bot printed many flat/small wins. Win rate stayed near 98%+, so the equity curve climbed steadily for weeks.

02

One loss can be huge

With 10x leverage and DCA layers, a single cascading dump against the position can lose far more than dozens of winning scalps combined.

03

Unstable coins (e.g. AVAX)

Some pairs don’t mean-revert cleanly. AVAX-style moves can keep falling through every DCA layer despite filters meant to protect capital.

04

Verdict: failed research

Tested live ~1 month. Profitability was real on good days — risk profile was not acceptable for a product bot. Kept here for transparency only.

🧪 What Was Tested

Not deployed as a CryptoBotiq product bot. Details page exists for research transparency.
