Paper Trading combines Perky SMC entries with Parente 5/2 confirmation. The Perky SMC strategy section controls signal scoring, entry filters, cooldowns, stops and the chart timeframe.

Currency pairs

Choose any pair available on Deribit or Binance using BASE/QUOTE. Deribit is preferred; a pair absent from its market catalog uses Binance spot. Select Binance spot below to use it directly. Each pair keeps its own quote currency, so different quotes can be enabled together. The paper account holds USD cash; fresh exchange conversions translate its budgets and trading results without changing native prices. SMC, charts and new position prices and targets use the applied pair. Existing positions retain their recorded native prices and saved levels. Parente always reads its original Binance spot/USDT training inputs for the base asset, independently of this setting. DVOL has its own Deribit-only pairs section.

Active SMC and GEX pairs: BTC/USD · ETH/USD · SOL/USDT. Save edits, then choose Apply saved settings to switch every enabled asset and refresh its analysis.

Analysis and simulation settings

A qualified Perky SMC setup supplies the paper entry, configured stop and TP1–TP3. Parente BUY must confirm the entry. The configured paper exit strategy closes the position on stop/TP3, Parente SELL, or the SMC CHoCH/BOS reversal; TP1 and TP2 are intermediate levels. GEX can guide targets for existing positions.

Paper equity, floor and minimum notional are USD. Rates and risk values are fractions: 0.005 = 0.5%. Fields ending in bps use basis points. Perky signals and the chart use the selected 1M, 5M, 15M, 30M or 4H timeframe.

Parente 5/2

Published trained model · 36 inputs → 128 → 64 → 32 → BUY / HOLD / SELL. Published weights, original feature scaler and frozen Binance base-volume calibration.

NN inputs: Binance spot/USDT · completed 4H candles · base-asset volume. SMC, charts, position prices and targets use your selected market pair; this never changes the trained NN inputs.

Parente-only leaves the trade open until a Parente SELL.

Perky SMC strategy

The default settings follow Perky SMC Ultimate V5 Filtered mode. Score components, pivot lengths, cooldown, stop calculation and optional entry gates below are applied to the same completed candles used by the SMC chart and paper strategy. EMA overlays and golden/death cross labels are chart-only; they do not qualify trades.

SMC target reachability

Advisory mode shows structural support without changing trades or qualification. Require mode filters new entries and rechecks their execution price; it does not move saved targets or force-close positions. Daily candles aggregate six complete UTC 4H candles from the selected SMC pair and feed, independently of Parente. Missing history stays unavailable. With a 4H SMC chart, choose Daily bias. A 50% entry-depth limit means longs in discount and shorts in premium. ATR distance is a movement envelope, without a target deadline. Inside bars or a narrow configured range flag balance. Intermediate liquidity is competing context, without a probability boost.

DVOL pairs

Configure DVOL separately from the dashboard currency pairs. Add only BTC or ETH pairs available on Deribit. Each uses Deribit's official volatility index and the matching Deribit reference price; its quote currency is shown on the DVOL page.

Saving applies these pairs immediately to DVOL. Parente inputs and the dashboard pair settings are independent.

Settings and database

Save edits in the form above, then apply them here. Existing paper trades and actual positions retain their recorded levels and costs. SMC criteria change the displayed market analysis. Paper settings apply to the simulation. Currency-pair changes require a cleared paper account and no open holding/watch in the previous pair. Parente keeps its fixed Binance/USDT input contract.

Settings file: /opt/pyPTA/adaptive_crypto_settings.json

Backups keep one complete copy of settings and trading data in backup/latest.zip. Each new backup replaces the previous copy.

For a fresh start, purge first, then apply settings. Purge backs up and clears all paper trades, pending orders, recorded holdings, buy watches and their history. Paper trading stays paused until you apply settings; market analysis continues. Paper cash then starts at the equity in your saved JSON.

Restore a backup

Review the saved settings and trading records in backup/latest.zip before replacing this study. Restore first backs up the current settings and data to the same archive. Historical queued alerts will be cancelled.

Guided restore supports complete SQLite backups compatible with the running paper strategy. It restores every saved history, including inactive strategy records.

Restart dashboard

Reload saved settings, the combined SMC + Parente paper strategy and market analysis. Current scans and alert deliveries finish before monitoring restarts. Saved balances and history are retained.
