| 3D | The 3D Indicator in the Arbitrage Bands Trading System is a 3 standard deviation cloud map of probability, showing a clear path in which the candles must travel. The 3D Indicator allows you to visually see the edge of probability for each band and eliminate improbable price points. This indicator uses 4 of the 7 bands of the Arbitrage Bands Trading System. | 3D, indicator |
| 3D Pro | The 3D Pro Indicator takes 3D to the next level by using all 7 of the bands in our Arbitrage Bands Trading System. 3D Pro allows you to see probabilities on multiple timeframes or on the same band on multiple timeframes. | 3D Pro, indicator |

| Aggressive Entries | While Aggressive TRAP looks for aggressive exits, this setting looks for aggressive trade entries.

| Aggressive Trailing Stop | As soon as the position is open, the Trailing Stop is active. Whatever your trailing stop value is, if the position draws down that much, Arbitrage Trade Assist will close the position for that loss. | ATA setting, risk management |
| Aggressive TRAP | When you enable the Trend Reversal Awareness Protection (TRAP) setting, you have the option to enable Aggressive TRAP. This setting is ideal for ultraconservative traders.

Remember that scaling will give smaller positions which means less drawdown but also smaller profits. This setting does not affect previous open positions. Note: If you have scaling of 33% or less, you should probably use Enforce Take Profit (with Take Profit Goals below) because of the broker fees to enter and exit trades. |

| Self Governor | You can limit the amount of money Pips is allowed to trade on your behalf. This will leave more cash available for you to withdraw at any time. It will also make your position size smaller for all future positions. If you enable this setting, you will choose the the dollar amount to self govern by using the drop-down menu. For example: If you have a $100,000 account balance and want to withdraw $5,000 each month, set the Self-Governor to $95,000. This way, your monthly withdrawal will not negatively impact your percent margin used and will not increase your risk of being margin called. Withdrawal of funds while upside-down in positions increases the percent of margin used (which could over allocate margin and result in a margin call). | ATA setting, risk management |

| Snare | If the Arbitrage Trade Assist algorithms detect that it is no longer probable for a trade to be profitable, ATA will close the position for the loss so that you are not stuck in a position for a long time. This decreased probability happens when your entry price falls outside of the trend top or trend bottom. In addition to closing the position for a loss, Snare will also automatically enter you into a position in the opposite direction. This new position will open without a new alert. If you enable this feature, you must also enable the pair(s) for which you want Snare to be active on. If you enable this setting, your TRAP top will be set to 2 and your TRAP bottom will be set to -2. By default, Snare is disabled on existing accounts.

| Trailing Stop | While the previous Risk Management Settings are there to protect against large drawdowns, a Tailing Stop is there to protect your profit; it is the maximum amount of money you are willing to give back when you are in a positive position. The default value is 0.5% of full account balance, but you can change that value. This setting will not activate until the unrealized gains on that position is over your trailing stop value or that much under your trailing stop value. Once triggered, it is protecting your unrealized gains and protecting against further losses. The trailing stop adjusts up as your profit increases. If your profit decreases to a value greater than or equal to your trailing stop value, Arbitrage Trade Assist will automatically take profit. |

| Trend Reversal Awareness Protection (TRAP) | Trend Reversal Awareness Protection (TRAP) is a setting that prevents Arbitrage Trade Assist from entering into a new trade that has a low probability of success due to its location within the band system. The TRAP setting has two pieces: TRAP Top and TRAP Bottom. The default setting for Trap Top is +2 (meaning 2 standard deviations above the mean); the default setting for TRAP Bottom is -2 (meaning 2 standard deviations below the mean). You can adjust these defaults to be anywhere between 3 standard deviations around the mean. Your settings do not have to be symmetric. If you only turn on the TRAP setting, then that range is your only trading universe. For example, if you are in a long/buy position and the pair price reaches +2 standard deviations from the mean, Arbitrage Trade Assist will automatically take profit, regardless of your Take Profit Pips Goal. You have the option to enable Aggressive TRAP. |
