What Do Trading Limit and Maximum Investment Mean in Gunbot?

For many spot strategies, Trading Limit is the notional value of a typical buy order. Maximum Investment usually caps the total notional position size that the strategy may build for the pair.

Consider USDT-BTC with a Trading Limit of 100. For a strategy that uses Trading Limit for its normal buy size, a typical buy represents about 100 USDT of BTC at the time of the order.

A strategy may place more than one buy while building a position. Maximum Investment is the setting that usually limits how large that accumulated position may become in notional terms.

• Trading Limit: the notional size of a typical buy.
• Maximum Investment: the usual cap on the total notional position size.

Exact behavior still depends on the selected strategy. Some strategies use these settings differently or expose additional sizing controls, so check the strategy documentation before assuming every buy will have the same size.

For many spot strategies, two related concepts also matter:

• Unit cost is Gunbot's spot accounting value for the holdings that remain on the pair. It keeps tracking the break-even price, including configured buy and sell fees, through long sequences of buys and partial or full sells.
• Gain is commonly a profit target above that unit cost.

On futures, the comparable value is average entry price. The exchange provides it for the current futures position; it is separate from Gunbot's spot unit-cost calculation.
