Hedge Bot

Open opposite-side tranches on a ladder when a position you hold moves against you.

The Hedge Bot attaches to a position you already have. When price moves against it by a distance you choose, it opens an opposite-side trade (a tranche) on the same pair. It never opens the first trade and never picks a pair.

It works on USDT perpetual futures and nothing else, and needs an account in Hedge Mode. Spot, coin-margined, USDC perpetuals: no hedge mode exists there, so they are never attached.

Warning. A hedge is not a stop loss. It keeps the position open and offsets part of the loss with a second position. Your main position can still be liquidated. It also costs margin, fees and funding on both legs.

The one setting everyone misreads

Size % is the total hedge you want to hold at that level, as a % of the main position, not the size of the next order. A ladder of 25 / 60 / 70 builds coverage to 25%, then 60%, then 70%. Above 100% the pair is net opposite.

Ladder Distance % is measured from the main position's current blended average entry, so every DCA fill moves the remaining levels.

New Hedge Bot forms start blank; templates apply only when you press one.

  1. Press Moderate Hedge (the recommended starting point), then read the ladder it produced against your real position size. Use Slow Hedge for less hedge coverage.
  2. Set Auto-attach to Manual only, and attach one position from Attachable positions.
  3. Add pairs you never want hedged to Never attach to.
  4. Preview the ladder in the Hedge Simulator before you enable it.

See Hedge stops & exits for how tranches are protected and how the pair closes.
