# Protection & Max Losses

The **Max Consecutive Losses** protection automatically pauses a copied wallet if it strings together too many bad trades in a row.

***

## How it works

The bot counts consecutive losses on each copied wallet:

* ✅ **Winning** trade → counter reset to zero
* ❌ **Losing** trade → counter +1

When the counter reaches your threshold, the wallet is **automatically paused**.

***

## Example

Setting: **Max 3 consecutive losses**

```
Trade 1 → ❌ Loss    →  1/3
Trade 2 → ✅ Profit  →  0/3  (reset)
Trade 3 → ❌ Loss    →  1/3
Trade 4 → ❌ Loss    →  2/3
Trade 5 → ❌ Loss    →  3/3  →  🔴 AUTO PAUSE
```

***

## Notification

When the pause triggers, you receive a Telegram message:

```
⚠️ Copytrade paused — [wallet]
3 consecutive losses reached.
Re-enable from the Copytrade menu.
```

***

## Re-enable the wallet

The wallet is not deleted — it is just paused.

1. Menu → **📋 Copytrade**
2. Select the wallet
3. Press **Re-enable**

The loss counter resets to zero.

## Setting

| Value  | Behavior                                       |
| ------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| 0      | Protection disabled                            |
| 3 – 5  | Recommended for most wallets                   |
| 8 – 10 | For very active wallets with many small trades |

> This protection applies **individually** per wallet. Pausing one wallet does not affect the others.
