Harvest · Semi-active

Harvest the gains.
Keep your core.

Sell only the profit shares above your cost basis on each reversal, then redeploy them on confirmed dips — your core position keeps riding.

How It Works

A self-repeating profit cycle

Every strategy moves through six states automatically. Profit harvests and rebuys repeat in a loop — you set it once and Fuselit handles the rest.

Fund & Configure

Choose a stock, set your dollar amount, and pick a strategy preset. Fuselit places the buy order through Alpaca immediately.

02 — AUTOMATE

Profit Arm & Harvest

Once you're up the Profit Arm %, peak-tracking begins. When price drops the Trail Distance from that peak, profit shares above your cost basis are sold — your core position keeps riding.

03 — PROTECT

Core Position Keeps Riding

Only profit shares above your cost basis are ever sold — never your core. The profit pool is redeployed on a confirmed dip + bounce. Hard stop rises after each harvest, never falls.

Core Mechanism

Arm → track peak → harvest profit

Price must first cross the Profit Arm before peak-tracking begins. Once armed, the running peak is tracked. When price drops the Trail Distance from that peak, only the profit shares above cost basis are sold — your core stays in the market.

Capital Protection

Only profit shares are ever sold

When the trail trigger fires, only shares representing gain above your cost basis are sold. Your core position stays in the market and keeps riding.

How a cycle plays out

One harvest-and-rebuy cycle, step by step

No specific stock — just the loop the strategy repeats on any position it holds.

1
Setup

You configure the trade

Choose a symbol, an amount, and a profile. Fuselit places the opening buy through your Alpaca account and locks in the hard-stop floor and profit-arm threshold from the fill price.

2
Rally

Price runs past the profit arm

When the position climbs past the profit-arm threshold, peak-tracking switches on. The trailing floor sits just under the running peak and follows it up tick by tick.

3
First harvest

The trail fires — only profit shares sell

On a reversal of the trail distance from the peak, Fuselit sells only the profit shares representing gain above your cost basis. Your core keeps riding and the cash goes to the profit pool. The hard stop ratchets up and never moves back down.

4
Rebuy

A confirmed dip redeploys the pool

After a harvest the pool waits for price to dip and then bounce — confirming a real reversal — before buying back in. The position is rebuilt and the cost basis updated.

5
Repeat

The pattern repeats

Each pass through the cycle harvests a little profit and nudges the hard-stop floor higher. The loop continues for as long as the position keeps making new highs and dips.

6
If it rolls over

The ratcheted hard stop ends it

If price instead falls to the hard stop, the whole position is sold and the strategy is done. Because the floor ratcheted up with each harvest, the exit sits well above the original floor.

FAQ

Common questions

Everything you need to know before you start trading with Fuselit.

Not by the profit harvest. Only the shares representing gain above your cost basis are ever sold — your core position keeps riding indefinitely. The hard stop loss will liquidate the full remaining position if price falls through it, capping your downside. Redeployed profit in new buy lots carries its own risk.
Once the stock rises above the Profit Arm threshold (default +4%), the strategy starts tracking the running peak. When price drops the Trail Distance (default 2%) from that peak, only the profit shares above your cost basis are sold. Core shares are never touched. The hard stop floor ratchets up to the harvest price after each sell — it only ever moves up.
There are five parameters per strategy: Hard Stop Loss (emergency exit %), Profit Arm (gain % before trailing starts), Trail Distance (reversal % from peak that fires the harvest), Buy Arm (drop % below last sell that arms the rebuy), and Buy Confirm (bounce % from trough that triggers the actual rebuy). Three presets — Active, Balanced, Patient — are provided as starting points.
The strategy calculates how many shares represent gain above the cost basis and sells only those. Your core shares keep riding. The profit pool waits: price must drop Buy Arm % below the last sell (arming the rebuy), then bounce Buy Confirm % from the trough before the pool rebuys. If the hard stop fires instead, the full remaining position is liquidated and the strategy ends.
Yes. The hard stop loss caps downside but does not eliminate it — in fast-moving markets, a position may be sold below the stop price due to slippage or gaps at open. Additionally, dry powder redeployed into new positions carries its own risk. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
