I Already Own This Coin

The “I already own this coin” option is used when you already hold an asset on the exchange before activating a strategy.

It allows Aurono to start managing an existing position under the same deterministic rules as any other strategy.

---

What This Option Is For

This option is intended for situations where:

• You already own the asset on the exchange
• You want Aurono to manage sells under defined rules
• You want to continue accumulating or distributing from an existing position

Without this option, every strategy starts from zero.

---

What You Provide

When enabling this option, you manually provide:

• The amount of coins you already own
• The average price you paid for those coins

Aurono does not infer or fetch this information automatically.

---

How Aurono Uses This Information

To initialize the strategy’s accounting, Aurono:

• Records the provided amount as the starting position
• Records the provided average price as the average cost base

This is purely an administrative registration:

• No order is sent to the exchange
• Nothing is bought or sold
• Your exchange balance does not change

From this point forward, the strategy behaves exactly like any other.

---

Average Cost Base Behavior

The provided average price becomes the strategy’s initial average cost base.

All future buys and sells:

• Update the average cost base normally
• Are subject to the same selling safeguards

Aurono will never sell below the average cost base.

---

What This Option Does Not Do

This option does not:

• Buy the asset automatically
• Import historical trades
• Modify your exchange balance
• Override safeguards or limits

Aurono only manages strategy logic from the moment the strategy is activated.

---

Typical Scenarios

This option is commonly used when:

• You are migrating an existing holding into Aurono
• You want to automate exits for assets you already own
• You want to layer rule-based accumulation on top of an existing position

---

Key Takeaway

“I already own this coin” defines the starting state of a strategy.

It tells Aurono:

• How much you already hold
• At what average price
• So all future decisions can be made consistently

From activation onward, Aurono enforces the same rules and safeguards as with any other strategy.
