LabNarrative3Commas says v1 will be deactivated on September 11, 2026. Existing strategies do not transfer automatically to v2, and exchange API connections must be recreated. If you are rebuilding anyway, use the change as a chance to verify the bot against current market conditions before real funds are involved.
This is intentionally not a “feature-count” comparison. It shows where a familiar v1 workflow goes inside LabNarrative and where there is no direct equivalent.
| 3Commas v1 | LabNarrative | Migration note |
|---|---|---|
| Pair / pair list | Coins | Choose one pair, selected pairs, or an all-USDT Spot universe. |
| Base order size | Base order | Same job: capital used for the initial DCA entry. |
| Safety order size | Safety order | Same job: capital added when price reaches a DCA level. |
| Max safety trades / orders | Max safety orders | Maximum number of averaging orders in one position. |
| Price deviation | Deviation | Gap from the previous reference level before the next DCA order. |
| Safety-order step scale | Step scale | Controls how the gaps between later DCA levels expand. |
| Safety-order volume scale | Volume scale | Controls how later safety-order sizes change. |
| Max active deals | Max active trades | Limits simultaneous positions opened by the automation. |
| Take profit | Take profits | LabNarrative supports planned take-profit exits, including multiple TP levels. |
| Stop loss | Stop loss | Planned loss exit. Trailing and timeout behavior can also be configured. |
| Indicator start condition | Entry conditions | Rebuild supported indicator rules directly in the DCA automation. |
| Multi-pair DCA | Multi-pair DCA | One automation can scan a selected list of Spot pairs. |
| TradingView Signal Bot / TV-triggered workflow | Strategy Execution | TradingView sends the signal; LabNarrative executes it in Paper or Live Spot. |
| SmartTrade | Manual Trade + Positions | Useful for direct position management, but not a one-for-one SmartTrade clone. |
| Grid Bot | No direct equivalent | Do not migrate a grid strategy here yet. |
| Futures / short bots | No direct equivalent | LabNarrative currently focuses on Spot execution. |
LabNarrative DCA automations support single-pair, selected multi-pair and all-USDT Spot universes, plus configurable safety-order ladders, entry conditions, take profits and stop loss controls.
Check the capital ladder first →For TradingView-driven strategies, create a Strategy Execution automation, connect the generated webhook message, and run the signals in Paper before choosing whether to reproduce the workflow in Live Spot.
See the TradingView workflow →Paper and Live share the same analytics model for realized return, drawdown, win rate, profit factor, expectancy, capital usage and trade-level drill-down.
Open Paper analytics →Best fit: Spot DCA bots, multi-pair DCA, TradingView strategy execution, manual Spot positions and users who want a long-running Paper environment before moving to Live.
Current connected exchanges: Binance, Bybit, OKX and KuCoin Spot.
Not a fit yet: futures/short automations and grid bots. We would rather tell you that before you rebuild than force the wrong workflow.
For early migration users, we’ll help map the first setup into LabNarrative Paper at no charge. Tell us what kind of bot you are moving and the exchange. You can describe the settings or paste non-secret configuration details.
Never send API keys, exchange passwords, webhook secrets or seed phrases.
A migration is not only a data-entry exercise. Different platforms can interpret order sizing, entry conditions, averaging behavior and exit rules differently. The useful check is whether the rebuilt automation produces the behavior you expect.
LabNarrative’s workflow is simple: rebuild → Paper test → compare → choose → move Live at a size you control.
