Frequently Asked Questions

DipSkip is an automated trading platform that allows you to create and execute trading strategies using DipScript, a plain-English programming language designed specifically for trading. You can automate buy and sell decisions based on market conditions, profit targets, stop losses, and custom logic—all without writing complex code.

No! DipScript is designed to be readable and intuitive. If you can write "IF my profit is greater than $200 THEN sell all shares", you can write DipScript. Our platform includes an AI assistant to help you write and debug strategies, plus comprehensive documentation with examples.

Getting started is easy:

• Choose a subscription plan that fits your needs
• Connect your Tradier brokerage account (or use paper trading)
• Write your first DipScript strategy or use one of our templates
• Test in paper trading mode to validate your strategy
• Go live when you're ready

Absolutely! All DipSkip plans include paper trading mode, which simulates trades using real market data without risking actual capital. You can also backtest strategies against historical data to see how they would have performed in the past.

DipScript allows you to create sophisticated trading strategies including:

• Profit targets and stop losses
• Position averaging (buying the dip)
• Trailing stops based on peak profit
• Time-based conditions
• Multi-condition logic using AND/OR operators
• Dynamic position sizing
• Scalping and momentum strategies

DipScript has 5 core commands:

• TICKER - Specify which stock to trade
• IF/THEN - Create conditional logic
• OBTAIN - Reach a target position (only buys what's needed)
• SELL - Sell shares at market or limit price
• STOP - Immediately halt script execution

These simple commands can be combined to create complex trading strategies.

DipScript provides 20+ built-in variables that automatically track your trading activity:

• $PROFIT, $TOTAL_PROFIT, $PEAK_PROFIT - Track your profits
• $ALL, $HALF, $MAX - Position sizing
• $MARKET_PRICE, $LAST_BUY_PRICE, $LAST_SELL_PRICE - Price tracking
• $ACCOUNT_EQUITY, $BUYING_POWER - Account information
• $BUY_TRADE_COUNT, $SELL_TRADE_COUNT - Trade counting
• And more for comprehensive strategy automation

Currently, DipScript focuses on price-action and profit-based strategies using the 19 built-in variables. While you can't directly calculate indicators like moving averages within DipScript, you can implement price-based logic that achieves similar results. We're constantly working on expanding DipScript's capabilities based on user feedback.

We offer three subscription tiers:

• Basic ($39/month): 5-minute execution intervals, 3 active scripts, 100 AI prompts/month
• Professional ($69/month): 30-second intervals, 5 active scripts, backtesting, 500 AI prompts/month
• Premium ($129/month): 5-second intervals, unlimited scripts, unlimited AI prompts, priority support

All plans include paper trading, real-time market data, and email support. Annual billing saves up to 20%.

All plans include full access to paper trading mode, allowing you to test the platform risk-free. You can create and run strategies with simulated money before committing to live trading.

Yes! There are no lock-in contracts or cancellation fees. You can cancel your subscription at any time, and you'll retain access until the end of your billing period.

Execution intervals determine how frequently your script evaluates market conditions and executes trades. A 5-second interval (Premium) is ideal for scalping and high-frequency strategies, while 5-minute intervals (Basic) work well for swing trading and less active strategies. Choose based on your trading style and how quickly you need to react to market movements.

DipSkip never holds your funds. We integrate directly with Tradier, a regulated brokerage, where your money stays in your own account. DipSkip only executes trades based on your strategies—you maintain full control and ownership of your assets.

Pattern Day Trader (PDT) protection automatically prevents you from violating SEC day trading rules. If you have less than $25,000 in your account, DipSkip tracks your day trades and blocks orders that would trigger PDT restrictions, protecting you from account limitations.

DipSkip provides multiple safety features:

• Test strategies in paper trading mode first
• Backtest against historical data to validate performance
• Set position limits and max investment amounts
• Use stop loss conditions in your scripts
• Start with small positions and scale up gradually
• Real-time script validation catches errors before execution

Yes! You can stop any running script instantly, and you always have direct access to your brokerage account to manually close positions if needed. DipSkip provides real-time logs so you can monitor exactly what your strategies are doing.

Currently, DipSkip integrates with Tradier Brokerage for live trading. Tradier offers competitive pricing and robust API access. We're working on adding support for additional brokerages based on user demand.

Yes! Basic plan allows 3 active scripts, Professional allows 5, and Premium offers unlimited concurrent scripts. You can run different strategies on different stocks simultaneously, each with its own execution schedule.

Backtesting (available on Professional and Premium plans) allows you to test your strategy against historical market data. You can upload custom datasets or generate synthetic data to see how your strategy would have performed over different time periods and market conditions.

DipSkip currently supports US stock markets (NYSE, NASDAQ, etc.) through Tradier. You can trade individual stocks during regular market hours. Options and cryptocurrency support may be added in future updates.

DipSkip respects regular market hours (9:30 AM - 4:00 PM ET). You can configure execution windows for your scripts. While your scripts won't execute trades when markets are closed, they'll resume automatically when markets reopen.
