I am trying to get the best way to use CAT but I need an example to get what I am missing.
Let me make an example.
I buy 1 bitcoin at 1000USD (ping order)
I put a gain of 1% so 0.5% fees and net gain 0.5%.
Bitcoin keep rising.
First pong order close at 1010USD with a net gain of 5
This generate a new ping (buy) order at 1020. But I have only 1005 in my portfolio so I cannot buy 1 bitcoin but only 0.9
That generate a new pong at 1020 so another 5USD of net gain.
And so on until the price keep rising.
Let us assume that we close here the sequence
Bitcoin value 1020. My balance 1000+5+5=1010
So I was in a rise period, I have succesfully completed ping pong trades but I have less money in my account compared to what I will have if I have done nothing.
So what am I missing? From my calculation the only way to make more money on a rising edge is that the ping (buy) order gerated after a pong is at a lower price compared to the pong that generated it. But if I am on a rising phase that would not happen.
Can anyone give me an example to understand where I am wrong?

Thanks
