The orders will stay up indefinitely, since the bot renews all orders. if the price falls the bot will create orders all the way down. It'll stay at a loss until the orders get filled. However i only use the long feature on coins that have potential to move upwards and I use the short feature on all the coins that I mine with my miners(or in game currency that I earn from various steem games). So on many markets I make money if the coin goes up or down, doesn't matter really.
