# Trading Related Questions
Transaction Status in BuddyXai
Here’s what each status means in your transaction history:
* **Opened** – Orders that are currently active and running.
* **Cleared** – Positions that were active but have now been closed for a specific coin.
* **Closed** – A summary of all closed orders across all coins.
Why does my bot open only long or only short positions for an activated coin?
If your bot is opening only long without short (or short without long), check the following:
1. **Sufficient B-Points Balance**\
Make sure you have at least **15 B-Points** available.
2. **Minimum Order Size**\
Ensure your first order size meets your exchange’s minimum order size requirement.
3. **Cycle Strategy Enabled**\
In the BuddyXai app, go to your activated coin, tap **\[Cycle Settings]**, and confirm that **\[Cycle Strategy]** is enabled.
4. **First Order Settings**\
Make sure both **\[Enable Long First Order]** and **\[Enable Short First Order]** are turned on.
5. **Restart the Bot**\
Click **\[Stop]** and then **\[Start]** to refresh the settings.
Why didn’t the bot take profit at the highest profit %?
The most common reason is **exchange orderbook conditions**.
Imagine this: at a certain price, a large number of market orders enter the orderbook at the same time. This can cause **slippage**, meaning your sell order may execute at a slightly different price than the peak you saw.
BuddyXai’s bot always aims to take profit at the highest possible **ROE**.\
However, the final execution price depends on **real-time liquidity and order matching** in your exchange’s orderbook.
Why doesn’t the bot take profit when it reaches my target TP price?
BuddyXai’s bot uses **trailing take profit (TP)**.\
This means the bot analyzes market movements to find the **best exit price** — aiming to close the order with maximum profit and position itself for an optimal **new entry**.
If your profit for a coin shows **more than +100%** in OKX, Bybit, or Binance, try this:
1. Click **\[Stop]** for that coin in the BuddyXai app.
2. Click **\[Start]** again to refresh the bot’s operation for that coin.
Why are the profits in OKX/Bybit/Binance different from BuddyXai?
This difference is mainly due to **report timing** between exchanges and BuddyXai.
For the most accurate profit data:
1. Go to your exchange (OKX, Bybit, or Binance) **Order History**.
2. Find the **Closed Order** and check the **Realized PnL** (profit).
3. Compare that value with your **BuddyXai Statement**.
Also, remember:
* Exchanges may charge **funding fees** for open positions.
* These fees are applied by the exchange (OKX, Bybit, Binance), not BuddyXai.
* If you want more details about funding rates, please contact your exchange’s support team directly.
Why does the bot automatically disable Cycle Strategy?
This usually happens when your **B-Points balance** drops **below 15**.\
When that happens, the bot cannot open a new first order after taking profit (TP), so **Cycle Strategy** is automatically disabled.
💡 **Solution:**\
Top up your B-Points to **15 or more**, then restart the bot to continue automated trading.
What is the recommended setting to get started with BuddyXai?

This guide will walk you through:

💡 With these default settings, you can start trading safely while you learn more about BuddyXai’s advanced features.
How to change the Stop Loss value for a running coin?
You can update the **Stop Loss** directly in the settings of your activated coin in the **BuddyXai** app.
Once updated, the Stop Loss will trigger at the **new value** you set.
What happens if I change the first order size for a running coin?
If you change the **First Order (FO) size** for an activated coin that’s already running, the change will only affect the **next order** for that coin — not the orders already placed.
**Example:**
* User A starts trading **XRP** with FO = **5 USDT**.\
Execution:
* First order – 5 USDT
* Second order – 10 USDT
* Third order – 20 USDT
* Fourth order – 40 USDT
* Now XRP is currently at the **second order layer**. User A changes FO to **10 USDT**.\
New execution:
* First order – 5 USDT *(unchanged, already executed)*
* Second order – 10 USDT *(unchanged, already executed)*
* Third order – **40 USDT** *(based on new FO 10 USDT)*
* Fourth order – **80 USDT**
