Sell Trigger (Rise %)

The sell trigger defines how much price must rise before Aurono is allowed to sell.

Aurono does not anticipate rises.
It evaluates selling conditions only when a candle has closed.

Selling is subject to additional safeguards.


The sell trigger is expressed as a percentage rise.

Example:

  • Sell trigger: +6%

This means:

Aurono is allowed to consider selling only if the current candle closes at least 6% higher than the previous candle.

The sell trigger does not represent:

  • A target price
  • A prediction
  • A guarantee that a sell will occur

Aurono compares:

  • The close of the previous candle
  • With the close of the current candle

If the percentage rise meets or exceeds the configured sell trigger at candle close, the sell condition is met.

Aurono ignores:

  • Intraperiod highs
  • Temporary spikes
  • Price movement that does not persist until close

Aurono applies a mandatory capital-preservation rule:

Aurono only sells when the sell price is above the strategy’s average cost base.

This means:

  • Even if the sell trigger percentage is met
  • Aurono will not sell at a loss
  • Selling below average cost base is explicitly prevented

This rule:

  • Is always active
  • Cannot be disabled
  • Applies to all strategies

Sell Trigger Is a Permission, Not a Command

Section titled “Sell Trigger Is a Permission, Not a Command”

Meeting the sell trigger does not guarantee that a sell will occur.

A sell will occur only if all required conditions are satisfied:

  • Sell trigger condition is met
  • Sell price is above average cost base
  • Sufficient asset balance is available
  • Order size is valid for the exchange
  • The strategy is enabled

If any condition is not met, Aurono does nothing.


Sell orders are executed using the configured sell amount.

This means:

  • Aurono may sell part of a position
  • Remaining assets continue to be tracked
  • Average cost base is updated accordingly

Each sell is evaluated independently.


The sell trigger does not:

  • Sell during a candle
  • React to price spikes
  • Force exits
  • Override cost-base logic
  • Attempt market timing

Aurono enforces rules, not urgency.


“Price went up, why no sell?”
The candle did not close above the configured rise percentage.

“Sell trigger was met, why nothing happened?”
The sell price was still below average cost base.

“Why did it sell later than expected?”
Because Aurono waits for candle close and all safeguards to be satisfied.


The sell trigger must always be considered together with:

  • Timeframe
  • Buy trigger
  • Average cost base
  • Order sizing

These parameters form a single execution system.


The sell trigger defines when Aurono is allowed to sell, not when it must sell.

Aurono sells only when:

  • Rules are met
  • Capital logic allows it
  • A candle has closed

Understanding this rule is essential to understanding Aurono’s selling behavior.
