Urgent Request: Manual Control over Risk, Margin and Stop-Loss Logic (Combo & DCA)#559

On behalf of our large Bitsgap trading community, we would like to submit a high-priority request regarding risk and margin management, especially in the current volatile market environment.
Over the past months, we have identified several limitations that prevent professional and security-focused use of the Combo Bot and DCA Bot.

I) In the Combo Bot, our traders often manually add additional safety margin after the bot has started to increase protection during volatile market phases and to compensate for slippage. However, as soon as the Combo Bot moves into small profits, this manually added safety margin is automatically transferred back to the account balance without any notification. This removes the intended protection and significantly reduces the liquidation buffer, making deliberate and professional margin management no longer possible. We therefore strongly request an option to manually disable this automatic behavior, allowing users to decide whether the safety margin should remain active or be transferred back.
Another issue with the Combo Bot is that whenever a stop-loss is activated, the trailing function is always applied and cannot be disabled. While this may be convenient, based on extensive trader feedback and our own backtests, this behavior is not suitable for current market conditions. We therefore request the ability to manually enable or disable the trailing function and manage the stop-loss independently.

II) A major limitation of the DCA Bot is that it does not allow the stop-loss to be set above break-even unless the trailing function is used. Many traders intentionally run only a single DCA cycle (by setting the max price trigger below the current price) to avoid continuous re-entries in difficult market phases. However, even after all DCA averaging orders have been filled, it is still not possible to manually move the stop-loss above break-even. As a result, trades are always closed at a (small) loss when the stop-loss is hit. We urgently request the ability to manually place the stop-loss above break-even.

These changes are essential to enable flexible and risk-aware trading, especially for experienced users operating in challenging market phases, with the highest priority being the ability to disable the automatic transfer of safety margin. We would greatly appreciate it if Bitsgap could review and prioritize these improvements.
