I expected the setup to keep an eye on things and, if the BTC price dropped below that level at any time during those 24 hours, it&#8217;d buy. I&#8217;d get my BTC, regardless of what happened to the price after that point.<\/p>\n<p>What actually happens is that it does nothing at all until 30 minutes before the chosen period ends, the &#8220;settlement time&#8221; (always 8 a.m. on the day in question). Then it averages the price for the 30 minutes up to settlement time and compares that to the $68.000 buy price. It doesn&#8217;t matter if the price was higher or lower in the 23.5 hours before those 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media3.giphy.com\/media\/v1.Y2lkPTc5MGI3NjExdXNkNWhia21sb3A0M2Rvd3AwbHRmbGtlOHg2dHFjYXdieXZ6aXZ2bCZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaWQmY3Q9Zw\/YkhYP7iVp7DSUCFQEu\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"giphy.gif\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This changes how I do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.publish0x.com\/earning-a-million-through-crypto\/earning-pound-1m-through-crypto-spot-trading-with-benefits-xgnvnxv\">my dual investment<\/a> trades.<\/p>\n<p>It still works the same way in my head: pick the price at which I&#8217;d buy or sell, then look for the best offer.
