# Strategy Templates

Not sure how to set it up? You can refer to the following battle-tested parameters and fine-tune them according to your risk appetite.

## Template 1: Theta Harvester (Late-Stage)

Captures time decay in the final minutes of a round when BTC has already established a clear direction.

* Time Range: `13:00, 14:55`
* UP Price: `0.70, 0.90`
* BTC Change: `40, 9999`
* Buy Params: `🟢 Buy UP` | Limit `0.90`
* TP/SL: None (Hold directly until the 15-minute round ends, waiting for automatic settlement to get 1 USDC)

Logic: With less than 2 minutes remaining and BTC up $40+, the probability of a reversal is low. Buy and hold for automatic settlement at 1 USDC.

## Template 2: Breakout Scalper (Opening Range)

Captures momentum from sudden news or large spot market moves in the first 30–60 seconds of a round.

* Time Range: `00:30, 01:00`
* UP Price: `0.01, 0.89`
* BTC Change: 5`0, 9999`
* Buy Params: `🟢 Buy UP` | Market Buy
* TP/SL: NO

Logic: The first minute of BTC price action is a strong predictor of round direction. A $50+ move up in the opening 60 seconds suggests the round resolves UP.

## Template 3: Flash Crash Rebound

A small contrarian bet when panic selling drives UP prices to extreme lows mid-round.

* Time Range: `04:00, 11:00`
* UP Price: `0.01, 0.15`
* BTC Change: `-200, -10`
* Buy Params: `🟢 Buy UP` | Amount `$5` (Lottery play, control position size strictly)
* TP/SL: TP `0.45` / SL None (Run if it doubles, treat a wipeout like a losing lottery ticket)

Logic: Extreme mid-round price dislocations sometimes mean-revert. This is a low-probability, high-reward bet with a strictly controlled position size. Treat a total loss like a losing lottery ticket.
