What a live tap does ​

your boxtap: position openstargetentrystopdd, at least 0.15 %time exitwindow startwindow end
Diagram · not to scaleA box above the price opens a long. Target and stop are working from the moment the position opens; the window end is the deadline. A box below the price is the mirror image: a short, target at the box's top edge, stop above the entry.
  • Entry: buys or sells now, at the best price in Strike's book.
  • Target: closes at your box.
  • Stop: closes if the price goes the other way, the same distance from the entry.
  • Time exit: anything still open closes when the window ends, even with the app closed.

The target and the stop sit on Strike from the moment the position opens. When one fills, Strike cancels the other.

The Live board ​

Live, before a wallet is connected.Test build · example values
  1. Balance. Your Strike balance in dollars, with the network under it.
  2. ↑ boxes. Above the price, each opens a long.
  3. ↓ boxes. Below the price, each opens a short.
  4. The Live card. Your next step. Here it's Connect. On a market where Live is closed, it says why instead, before you connect too.

Each box shows its estimated gain if the target fills, after fees, at your size. The row holding the price is blank, because there's no side to open there.

An estimate is a guide

The amount on a box is what the plan expects right now. Fills, fees and slippage decide the result, and a box can lose money even when its target fills. Your stop limits the loss. Check the plan before you confirm.

Your money ​

  • Your funds stay in your own Strike account. strikeabox never holds them.
  • Your wallet signs every deposit and withdrawal.
  • The app shows your balance as Strike reports it, in US dollars.

This app trades on Strike testnet. There, your balance is in test dollars with no real-world value, and the app says "testnet" next to it. On a deployment where the operator turns on mainnet, Live uses real funds. Testnet and mainnet →

Good to know ​

  • One open box per market, and up to 3 at once.
  • Live boxes stay out of leaderboards and battles. Those run on Demo.
  • If Strike's book is too thin on a market, Live pauses there and says why. When Live is closed →
