Avalisa PO Bot Settings Guide: Timeframe, Starting Amount and Martingale Steps

What this guide covers

The bot offers a Martingale strategy and, for Pro accounts, the rule-based Avalisa Bot mode. Everything below applies to Martingale mode, which every plan can use. The risk section near the end is not optional reading.

Setting 1: Timeframe (trade expiry)

The timeframe is how long each trade stays open before it closes as won or lost. The bot supports all mainstream Pocket Option timeframes, from very short expiries up through the longer ones.

How to think about it:

• Short expiries produce many trades an hour and amplify noise in fast markets.
• Longer expiries produce fewer trades and generally less per-trade noise.
• Our support experience is to prefer pairs with a payout above 90%, whatever the timeframe. A trade that pays less than it costs over time is a bad trade before the first candle moves.

There is no timeframe that works by itself: pick the one you intend to watch, then verify it on a demo account before considering real money.

Setting 2: Starting amount (base stake)

The starting amount is the stake on the first trade of every cycle; every later stake derives from it, multiplied by the loss multiplier. It is the most important number you set, because it scales the entire losing-streak exposure.

Sizing rule:

1. Decide the maximum you can lose in one losing streak — money you can afford to lose.
2. Divide that number by the cycle-cost multiple for your chosen steps and multiplier (table below). The quotient is your largest safe base stake.
3. Round down, then run a demo account at that size before going real.

Example: if you can afford to lose $300 in a streak and you choose 5 Martingale steps at a 2x multiplier, the full-cycle cost is at most 31× the base stake, so a base stake of about $9 keeps the worst case under $300. Never size backwards from how much you hope to gain.

Setting 3: Martingale steps and the loss multiplier

After each loss, the bot multiplies the next stake by your chosen multiplier: 2x (double), 2.2x, 2.4x, 2.6x, 2.8x, or 3x (triple). Martingale Steps is the number of such steps allowed before a cycle stops — or Infinite.

Limiting the step count is the real way to cap a losing streak. There is no separate stop-loss or daily-loss-limit setting in the bot; the step count is that setting. When the next stake would exceed your account balance, the bot pauses. A streak longer than your step limit ends the cycle at a known, bounded cost.

The verified cost of a full losing cycle, as a multiple of the base stake:

At 5 steps, the worst cycle costs 31× the base stake with doubling but 121× with tripling. The intermediate multipliers (2.2x to 2.8x) sit in between; if you use one, compute your own cycle cost from your exact step count — do not estimate.

Also note the direction setting for Martingale: Always Buy, Always Sell, or Alternating. Choose the direction you have tested on demo, and keep the Pocket Option tab visible while the bot trades — a minimised or backgrounded tab can delay trade-result detection.

Putting it together: a practical order of operations

1. Install the extension and follow the setup guide at avalisabot.vercel.app/guide; log in with your Pocket Option demo account.
2. Pick a timeframe and a pair with a payout above your Minimum payout % threshold; start with a threshold above 90%.
3. Set a small base stake, a step limit sized from the table above, and a Pair Scan option (Current pair only, Auto scan favorites, or Auto-switch favorite) matching what you intend to trade.
4. Run demo cycles, read the trade history in the dashboard, and adjust until the behaviour matches what you can afford.
5. Only then consider a real account — with stakes you can afford to lose.

Frequently asked questions

Does the timeframe affect how much I lose on a losing streak?

No. Cycle cost is set by base stake, multiplier, and step count only; the timeframe affects trade frequency and noise.

Is there a daily loss limit?

There is no separate stop-loss or daily-loss-limit setting. The Martingale step limit is the mechanism that bounds a losing streak, and the bot pauses when the next stake would exceed your balance.

Can I leave the steps on Infinite?

You can, but then a long losing streak is uncapped except by your account balance. Capping the step count is what makes the worst case calculable, and a calculable worst case is what this whole guide is about.

Does the bot work on demo accounts?

Yes, on both demo and real Pocket Option accounts. The recommendation is always to run your chosen settings on demo first.

Which plan do I need to test this?

The free Demo plan includes 10 Martingale trades, webapp bot access, dashboard access, and all supported timeframes — enough to see the mechanics. Unlimited Martingale trades and cloud settings sync are on the paid plans, described at avalisabot.vercel.app/pricing.
