Plan the downside
Set your daily stop first. Then size each trade so one idea cannot decide your whole result.
Pixi help
Pixi keeps the important numbers close: what you are risking, what leverage changes, how a position is protected and what happened after fees. This guide turns those controls into simple habits.
Before every trade
A calmer routine
Set your daily stop first. Then size each trade so one idea cannot decide your whole result.
Use optional TP and SL controls when opening a position. Check the chart levels after the order fills.
Use candles, trend, Bollinger bands and volume together. One touch or one colour is never the whole story.
Activity and Stats help separate a repeatable process from a lucky outcome. Include fees in every review.
Leverage without the fog
Leverage lets a smaller amount of margin control a larger market position. That can make capital more flexible, but gains, losses and fee impact all move against the larger exposure.
A 5% move in the market is roughly a 15% move on that margin before fees and slippage. A move against you also brings liquidation closer.
It can provide useful exposure without committing all available cash, leaving room for other positions or a cash buffer.
It magnifies mistakes, reduces room before liquidation and makes repeated fees more important. Higher leverage is not the same as a better opportunity.
Reading Bollinger bands
The middle line is a moving average. The outer bands widen when recent price movement is more volatile and narrow when it is calmer.
Price can keep walking along an outer band. Look for trend, candle behaviour, volume and your planned risk.
Narrow bands show lower recent volatility, but they do not tell you which direction comes next.
A 5-minute setup can look very different on 1-hour candles. Check the timeframe that matches your plan.
Spreading risk
Diversification is about what drives the positions, not just how many lines appear in a list. Several crypto assets may fall together; a group of technology-linked markets can react to the same news.
Available USDC gives you room for volatility, fees and deliberate changes. “Max” uses that room; it does not create safety.
Pixi’s Total card compares combined notional exposure with current equity. It can reveal portfolio risk that looks small one position at a time.
Ask what could make several positions move together. Smaller, genuinely different positions can reduce concentration, though diversification cannot prevent loss.
Wallet security
Pixi encrypts the primary wallet key in your browser using your passkey. The seed phrase and plaintext private key stay on your device. Pixi cannot restore a phrase you lose.

Short answers for the moments when you want to check one thing and get back to your plan.
Yes. Pixi uses recorded fills to report the closed position’s USDC profit or loss after trading fees, including earlier reductions. If those records are still arriving, she says the amount is pending and checks again while Voice is active. You can ask for recent closed results later, and the final closing Activity row also shows the after-fee P&L. A TP or SL hit alone does not prove a completed close or its realized amount.
Yes. Say something like ‘show me Ondo on the 15-minute chart’. Pixi opens the matching position or asset chart and brings it into view. You can use 5m, 15m, 1h, 4h or 12h. She keeps unfinished trade tickets and financial forms intact, and asks you to finish or close them first.
One scheduled Codex task reviews outstanding feature requests every Monday at 09:00 Amsterdam time, then implements, tests and deploys suitable approved changes. New requests and bug reports from the authenticated timoshisa administrator are included by default. Say “review only” or “do not implement” to opt out of implementation. Pixi’s unsolicited ideas and other users’ requests stay review-only. Existing requests keep their approval until you ask to change that exact request. Sensitive or ambiguous changes need a decision. There is no always-running feature worker, separate task per feature or progress-monitor task. Ask Pixi for the saved status or release reference. Being queued means waiting for the weekly cycle, not that work has started or shipped.
For opening or adding to a position, your spoken percentage uses the Trading balance row: free main-account trading cash after committed margin and reserved Trading profits. For example, 25% of a $40 Trading balance requests $10 of margin, even if total equity is higher. Pixi reads back the percentage, margin amount, leverage and protection terms before asking for natural spoken confirmation. A 100% request still has to fit current venue capacity and fee reserves. If it does not fit, Pixi explains the shortfall and asks for a smaller percentage and a fresh confirmation; she never silently resizes it. Material balance changes require another preview. Reductions remain a percentage of the existing position, and margin-risk alerts remain a percentage of total equity.
Your profit-share setting reserves a share of new realised profits above the account’s high-water mark. Earlier losses must first be recovered; deposits and unrealised gains do not count as realised profit. You can review the baseline and explicitly reset it in Settings. Reserved Trading profits remain separate from the amount available for new positions.
New accounts require a unique invite link issued by a Pixi admin. Each link expires 14 days after it is issued and can be used for one signup. You can open it multiple times before completing signup; opening the link does not use it up. If your link has expired or already been used, ask an admin for a new one. Existing accounts can sign in or recover their wallet without an invite.
Approve your withdrawal once with your passkey. Pixi then shows its progress, moves any needed available legacy-account funds to your main trading account, and sends one withdrawal towards your saved Base address. Normal confirmation delays are checked automatically—you do not need to press Resume or start again. The amount and destination stay fixed. Confirmation of the trading-account transfer does not mean Base delivery is already complete; Circle finishes that step automatically. If the exchange confirms a withdrawal failed before sending funds, Pixi asks you to review and approve a new attempt. A device restart before submission may require approval again because Pixi does not store your unlocked main-wallet key.
Before a trade, Pixi shows the margin, leverage, estimated instrument quantity, venue fee and maximum slippage. You can add optional take-profit and stop-loss protection. While a position is open, Pixi keeps the current value, fee-adjusted P&L, protection levels and risk progress visible. Afterwards, Activity keeps a simpler record of buys, sells, deposits and withdrawals, with six-month CSV and PDF exports.
Margin is the money set aside for the position. Exposure, sometimes called notional, is the market value controlled after leverage. For example, $10 of margin at 3× creates about $30 of exposure before fees and price movement. Pixi labels the order amount as margin and floors the estimated quantity to the instrument’s valid lot size.
Your daily stop resets at midnight in your selected timezone, using your combined trading equity. With $1,000 at midnight and a 20% stop, the starting stop level is $800. You can also choose a fixed dollar allowance. Reset profit target and daily stop in Settings starts both from the current Trading balance and clears stop extensions to 1× the saved daily limit. Percentage stops use the day’s starting equity plus deposits and minus withdrawals. For example, a 5% stop on $1,000 becomes a $100 allowance after another $1,000 is deposited. Cash movements do not count as trading profit or loss, and fixed dollar allowances stay fixed. Existing extensions keep their granted dollar allowance or the funded default, whichever is larger. Pixi includes estimated exit costs when checking the stop. A breach pauses new trading and asks Pixi to close your trading positions. Closing must finish before trading resumes. Fast markets and execution slippage can carry losses beyond the stop.
Near the stop, you can extend it so the current daily loss uses no more than 75% of the active allowance, leaving 25% as headroom. Once daily losses use less than 65% of the extended allowance, Reduce extended stop can tighten it towards today’s default while retaining at least 25% headroom. The control stays visible but is disabled until that recovery is confirmed. Extensions normally expire at the next local midnight. If removing one would leave less than 25% headroom, Pixi retains enough extension to preserve that room. Changing the stop in Settings also preserves this headroom. An extension allows a larger loss; it does not make a trade safer.
Your profit target can run over a day, week or month independently of the daily stop. Percentage daily targets compound across the days remaining in that period; fixed dollar targets add equal daily amounts. At midnight, the tracker’s daily starting point moves with the stop, while weekly or monthly P&L and days ahead or behind continue across the whole period. The green P&L delta under the balance always reports the entire selected period. The profit target is a planning guide, not an automatic stop or a promise of returns.
They are optional Pixi protections attached to a position. Their percentages refer to the position’s fee-adjusted leveraged return, matching its displayed P&L. A 10% take profit asks Pixi to close at +10% net position return, not a 10% market-price rise or fall. Stop loss uses the same return basis for losses. Leverage is already included in these percentages. They are monitored by Pixi’s backend rather than placed as Hyperliquid TP/SL orders. Fast markets, price gaps, connectivity and execution slippage can still produce a different final result, so protection reduces risk but cannot remove it.
Pixi can show both the venue liquidation level and a separate protection level on a position chart. The protection level is intended to reduce exposure before the venue liquidation threshold is reached. Treat both as danger lines, not targets. If either is close to current price, reducing leverage or position size gives the trade more room.
A venue can reject an order because the market has reached an open-interest cap, the instrument is temporarily unavailable, the minimum order size is not met or the requested quantity is outside its allowed lot size. These limits come from the venue and can change. Pixi surfaces the venue’s message so you can decide whether to wait, choose a smaller valid order or use another market.
Pixi applies the same kind of capital and liquidity discipline as size grows. Small orders can fill immediately when the venue permits; larger orders are checked against the instrument’s live volume, maximum position size, leverage and available margin, then filled progressively to reduce market impact. The technical term for that progressive execution is TWAP (time-weighted average price). Pixi handles it automatically, so the experience stays simple as you scale from small positions to larger capital.
Pixi uses live market and account updates while the app is visible, and refreshes current account data after the app returns from the background. A chart’s current candle can still change until its timeframe closes. When checking a sensitive decision, look at the displayed update, order preview and protection levels together instead of relying on one animation.
Your primary wallet key is encrypted in your browser with your passkey. Your seed phrase and plaintext private key are not sent to Pixi. Sensitive actions such as adding or deleting a withdrawal address, withdrawing funds or revealing the private key require fresh passkey verification. Pixi’s delegated risk authority is separately scoped for protective actions rather than general access to your wallet.
Write it down in the original order and keep it offline somewhere only you can access. Never put it in chat, email, a screenshot or an unfamiliar website. Pixi cannot recover it for you. Recover the wallet through Pixi rather than assuming another wallet app will display the same address.
Yes. Entry and exit fees reduce the result, and the execution price can move between preview and fill. That effect is more noticeable on frequent or highly leveraged trades. Pixi shows an estimated venue fee, maximum execution slippage and fee-adjusted P&L so the cost is easier to see.
