Why is my Trading Bot only scanning?

If your bot stays in Watching or Scanning the market mode without sending trade setups, this is expected behavior and not a glitch. Here is why it happens:

 

  • Strict strategy criteria: Monflex bots follow precise rules (such as specific moving averages or volatility levels). If market conditions do not line up, the bot waits rather than sending risky setups.
  • Market is closed: Exchanges only operate during standard market hours (09:30–16:00 EST).
  • Low market volatility: During quiet market periods, setups occur less frequently.
  • Trade limit reached: If your bot reached its trade limit, it stops scanning until you switch to a new bot.
