What Is the Optimized Liquidation Bot?

Updated over a week ago

The Optimized Liquidation Bot is a fully automated scalping bot built directly into Wick Hunter. It’s designed to counter-trade liquidation events using proprietary VWMA bands (volume-weighted moving average) as confirmation.

Instead of relying on external signals or indicators, this bot scans real-time liquidation data from exchanges and looks for price spikes that deviate outside of calculated VWMA bands — then enters precise counter-trades with defined risk.


Why Use the Optimized Liquidation Bot?

  • Designed for quick, reactive scalps during liquidations

  • Automatically trades high-volume wipeouts

  • Only enters when VWMA confirms price overextension

  • No TradingView or external signals needed

  • Fully integrated with Wick Hunter’s automation engine


How It Works

  1. Wick Hunter continuously monitors exchanges for large liquidation events

  2. It calculates VWMA bands to define "normal" price range based on historical volume

  3. When a liquidation spike pushes price outside of the VWMA band, the bot checks all configured filters

  4. If conditions are met, it enters a counter-trend trade

    • Longs are triggered by long liquidations that drop price below the VWMA band

    • Shorts are triggered by short liquidations that push price above the VWMA band

  5. Wick Hunter manages everything — entry, DCA, TP, SL, and invalidation


Settings & Configuration

These settings let you control how aggressively or conservatively the bot trades:

Setting

What it does

Long/Short VWMA Risk Level

How many consecutive candles can stay outside the VWMA band before entry (1 = safest, 3 = aggressive)

Minimum Long/Short VWMA %

Required distance from VWMA (as %) to validate a liquidation trigger

Liquidation Size Decile

Minimum size of liquidation events — higher = only large events qualify

Timeframe

Determines the VWMA calculation window (e.g. 5m, 15m, 1h)

Days Optimized

Number of days used to generate the optimized VWMA band for the pair

These parameters give you full control over signal quality, frequency, and trade aggressiveness.


🛠 Example Setup

  • VWMA Risk Level: 1 (conservative)

  • Min VWMA %: 0.5%

  • Liquidation Decile: 90th percentile (only large events)

  • Timeframe: 5m

  • Days Optimized: 30

In this setup, the bot will only enter a counter-trade if a major liquidation event drives price at least 0.5% beyond the VWMA band, and only if it fits your risk and time filters.
