Funding Hedge: Funding-fee Hedging for Shorts

Operating conditions

  • applies only when an active short position exists;
  • triggers only on negative funding;
  • fixed direction: short → long;
  • if conditions are not met, no hedge is executed.

Location

Settings → Hedge

Parameters

  • Enable funding hedge — enables/disables the feature.
  • Funding-rate threshold (%) — negative threshold (e.g., -2.0). Triggers when funding is ≤ threshold.
  • Seconds before funding — time window before settlement for opening attempts. Minimum 3 seconds.

Execution procedure

Before settlement:

  • attempts to open the long hedge;
  • open attempt timeout: 2 seconds;
  • if the hedge cannot be opened before the event, the hedge is skipped to avoid opening after settlement.

After settlement:

  • closes all positions opened as the hedge;
  • close timeout: 2 seconds;
  • close retries: every 2 seconds, up to 10 attempts.

Notice

  • Demo testing is recommended.
  • Use economically justified thresholds: if too low, open/close fees may exceed the funding benefit.
  • Many bots on one account may trigger a burst of orders, increasing API rate-limit and execution-delay risk.

Spot Bot: Entry and Averaging Logic (Spot-Bot)
Spot-Bot operates on the “leader → altcoins” model. The user selects a leader (BTC, ETH, or SOL), and the bot uses it as the main indicator of market direction. The bot’s goal is to identify altcoins with strong correlation to the leader and open spot positions when growth probability is confirmed for both the leader and the altcoin.
