SPM (Smart Position Management): 3-Layer Zigzag Recovery System
SPM (Smart Position Management) is ByTamer FX EA's position management engine. It combines traditional DCA (Dollar Cost Averaging) with a 3-layer zigzag structure, providing loss recovery without using stop-losses.
3-Layer Architecture
The SPM system opens a maximum of 3 layers per instrument profile. Each layer triggers based on the previous layer's own loss — not the main position's loss. This ensures natural price separation.
Zigzag Working Principle
The "Zigzag" name comes from each layer opening in the opposite direction of the previous one. This guarantees that at least one layer produces profit regardless of market direction.
Trigger Chain Logic
Layer Trigger Chain
SPM1 (MAIN) Opens
BHSS signal score 40+ → Position opens in primary direction
SPM1 Hits Loss Threshold
SPM1's own loss exceeds threshold → SPM2 triggers (reverse direction)
SPM2 Hits Loss Threshold
SPM2's own loss exceeds threshold → SPM3 triggers (reverse again)
FIFO Takes Over
SPM profits accumulate → Net +$5 triggers MAIN closure
SPM vs Traditional DCA
| Feature | Traditional DCA | SPM Zigzag |
|---|---|---|
| Direction | Single direction averaging | Zigzag — each layer reverses |
| Risk | Unidirectional risk accumulates | Hedge effect both directions |
| Trigger | Fixed price intervals | Based on previous layer's loss |
| Stop Loss | Usually present | None — FIFO-based closure |
| Max Layers | Unlimited (dangerous) | Max 3 (controlled) |
