Does the market seem to turn against you the moment you trade?
That's not always bad luck — it's usually a missing exit plan, a fee you didn't account for, or not knowing which tool (spot or derivatives) actually fit the trade. This page is the plain-English version of what you're working with here, no jargon assumed, so those decisions stop being guesses.
What Wingman actually does
Three jobs, running together on every trade — not three separate products.
1. Reads the market for you
Not more numbers — what the numbers mean, in plain English, continuously: bigger picture, what to do with it right now, whether the order book is showing something real.
How Wingman thinks →2. Executes it, fewer clicks
Review-then-confirm to open, one click to close, one click to reverse direction entirely — see the exact flow below.
3. Protects it automatically
The Algo watches your open position and exits it on rules you set — target, stop, or a trailing exit — without you staring at a chart.
Jump to the Algo →Spot vs. derivatives
Both are on the same trade panel, on their own tab. They're not different skills — they're different tradeoffs on the same trade.
Spot
You buy the actual coin. It's yours — you can hold it as long as you want, move it, or sell it later. Because you're buying the real asset, it costs more per coin for the same dollar amount, and you can only profit if price goes up: buy low, sell high, one direction.
Your true cost is the price you paid plus the fee on that buy — and when you sell, the fee on that trade comes out too. "Breakeven" means the price where both fees are covered, not just the price you paid.
Derivatives
You're trading a contract on the price, sized in contracts rather than coins, not the coin itself. It takes less of your capital to open the same size position — which also means price moves against you faster in percentage terms. You can go either direction: long if you think price rises, short if you think it falls.
More capital-efficient, and two-directional — but that same efficiency is what makes a real exit plan matter more here than on spot. That's the whole reason the Algo exists.
The Algo — your exit plan, running on its own
Every trade needs an exit plan: a price to take profit, a price to cut the loss, and a rule for what happens between them. The Algo runs that continuously, on Wingman's own server — not your browser — so it's still watching even if you close the tab.
Target & stop
Two fixed prices you choose. No trailing, no judgment calls — it closes the moment either one is touched.
Trail % or trail $
Your stop follows price as the trade moves your way, locking in gains instead of giving them all back on a reversal.
Trail algo (momentum exit)
The trailing distance adjusts to how fast price is actually moving against you, scaled by a patience dial from −5 (hair-trigger) to +5 (rides it out longest).
What it honestly can't promise
It's a software trigger checking price every few seconds, not an order resting directly on the exchange — a big enough gap between checks can slip past your stop, the same risk any stop-loss carries. It's not a guarantee of an exact exit price. A real resting Coinbase stop-limit order is also available if you want that as a second layer.
Placing and managing a trade
Opening a trade — two steps
Pick a size, hit Review — you'll see the exact price and fee before anything is real. Hit Confirm and it's placed. On spot, a slider lets you size by percentage of your available cash instead of doing the math yourself.
Closing — one click
One Close button, market price, done — no separate ticket to build for the exit.
Changed your mind mid-trade? ⇄ Reverse — one click
Closes your current position and opens the opposite side in a single action — two real orders from one click, instead of manually closing, then building a whole new order the other way.
