General Section
This section defines the identity and trading limits of your bot.
Field | Description |
Name | Internal bot name for your reference (e.g. “BTC DCA Long”). It does not affect execution. |
Side | Direction your bot is allowed to trade: |
Long – only enter long positions
Short – only enter short positions
Both – can take long and short based on signal |
Pairs - Select which trading pairs the bot is allowed to trade (e.g. BTC/USDT, ETH/USDT). You can select multiple.
Max Long Positions - Limits the number of open long positions at one time for this bot.
Max Short Positions - Limits the number of open short positions at one time for this bot.
Max Open Positions - Total combined positions (long + short) that this bot can open.
Base Order Section
This defines how the bot opens its initial position after a signal is received.
Field | Description |
Size | Determines how much of your account to allocate to the initial base order. This is not the full position size — DCA may increase the total size later. |
Size Type | Choose how the size is calculated: |
Percent – e.g. 2% of account balance
Dollar – e.g. $500 per trade
Market – enters immediately at market price
Limit – (if available) places a resting order at a specified price |
Margin Mode - Applicable for margin/futures markets:
Cross – shares margin across positions
Isolated – margin is isolated per position (limits risk)
Leverage - Sets the leverage used for this bot’s trades (if supported by the exchange and pair).
Use Volume Filters - Enables a filter to ignore signals on pairs with low trading volume. Useful to avoid slippage and illiquid markets.
Tips
Set Max Open Positions to prevent the bot from overtrading in volatile environments.
Use Cross Margin for flexibility, or Isolated Margin for strict risk control.
For tighter control over risk per signal, use Dollar-based sizing.
