Balance settings
Balance settings define the investment limits, in a strategy made with the strategy builder.
| Label | Config Parameter | Default Value | Detailed Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trading limit | TRADING_LIMIT | 20 | This setting defines the order amount per trade. On USD margined futures, this amount represents USD; on coin-m futures, it represents contracts. You should set this according to your trading strategy's investment size per transaction. |
| Trading limit all-in | TL_ALLIN | false | This option allows you to use all available base currency to invest per buy order at the time the trade is placed. This can be useful if you want to automate leveraging all available funds without specifying a set amount. |
| Min volume to buy | MIN_VOLUME_TO_BUY | 0.00000001 | The minimum order value necessary to execute a buy order. It is important to verify this value on your exchange as the default is only an estimation and may vary depending on the trading pair. |
| Max open contracts | MAX_OPEN_CONTRACTS | 99999999999999999 | Sets the upper limit on the size of your futures position, expressed in quote units. Orders that would exceed this limit are not executed, ensuring you do not exceed your risk thresholds. Especially crucial for managing risk in highly volatile markets. |
| Leverage | LEVERAGE | 0 | This setting adjusts the leverage for opening new positions. A setting of 0 applies cross margin. This is specific to exchanges Bitmex and Binance Futures; on other platforms, you'll need to set leverage directly on the exchange |
