Strategy explainer

Buy the Dip automation should make missed conditions and downside risk visible.

A Buy the Dip strategy is useful only when users understand what qualifies as a dip, how much can be deployed, and why the strategy may skip.

Design principles

Dip automation needs more than a trigger.

Users need to know whether the trigger is a percentage drawdown, reference price, signal, or manual review state.

If no condition is met, no funding is available, or venue checks fail, the product should say why the run did not happen.

A dip can become a deeper trend. Ottie should keep plan size, remaining runway, and worst-case assumptions close to the control.
