What are Futures Combo Bots?
Futures Combo Bots are automated trading tools designed to help users create and manage a portfolio of contracts according to specified ratios. These bots automatically adjust positions to maintain the preset proportions, even when market conditions change. This ensures the portfolio remains aligned with the user's strategy, offering enhanced operational efficiency and flexibility in various market conditions.
Please refer to Introduction to Futures Combo Bot for more details.
How do Futures Combo Bots work?
Futures Combo Bots allow users to create and manage a portfolio of contracts with a minimum of two (2) and up to 10 contracts. You can customize your portfolios by setting parameters, including contracts, position direction, position proportion (accurate to 1%), leverage, and rebalancing mechanisms (proportional threshold and/or time intervals). Additionally, orders can be placed using AI strategies for optimized trading decisions.
Example
- Allocation: BTCUSDT (Long, 30%) and ETHUSDT (Short, 70%)
- Leverage: 1x
- Rebalance Condition: 10% Deviation
- Investment: 100 USDT
When one of the contracts triggers a rebalance condition, the system will automatically rebalance the portfolio. For instance, if BTCUSDT hits 40% or falls below 20%, the system will trigger a rebalancing, reverting the allocation to BTCUSDT at 30% and ETHUSDT at 70%.

What happens during rebalancing if the value of one of the contracts in my portfolio is less than the minimum order size?
If the value of one of the contracts in your portfolio is less than the minimum order size during rebalancing, the system will handle it as follows:
Example 1: Adjusting below minimum order size
- Current Position Qty: 5 XYZ
- Minimum Order Qty: 1 XYZ
- Target Adjustment: 0.2 XYZ
The position will be adjusted to the minimum order size of 1 XYZ.
Example 2: Adjusting to an amount close to the minimum order size
- Current Position Qty: 5 XYZ
- Minimum Order Qty: 1 XYZ
- Target Adjustment: 4.2 XYZ
No adjustment will be made since the difference (5 − 4.2 = 0.8) between the current and target positions is less than the minimum order size.
From the above examples, if the difference between the current and target positions is greater than the minimum order size, the position will be adjusted to the minimum order size. Otherwise, if the difference between the current and target positions is less than the minimum order size, no adjustment will be made.
Can I adjust my Futures Combo Bot parameters?
Yes. You can adjust the parameters of your running Futures Combo Bot via the Bot Details page. To start, go to View My Bots and find an active bot whose parameters you wish to adjust. Then click on Details → Modify.
