How Does Isolated Margin Mode Affect Futures Grid Trading Bots?

Good news! You can now toggle on isolated margin mode to different futures grid trading bots. This can be useful if you’re trying out different strategies and/or you want to manage liquidation risk for each individual bot. We break down some of the basics below.

Q: What is Isolated Margin? How can it be applied to a Futures Grid Trading Bot?

A: Isolated Margin is a feature that enables traders to transfer the margin (investment amount) for a Trading Bot to an independent margin wallet, after activating the bot. This incurs the following benefits:

- Segregates trading bot funds, preventing them from affecting manual trading funds and orders.

- Enables traders to run multiple trading bots simultaneously for the same market.

Q: How does Isolated Margin work after the Trading Bot is activated?

A: Once the user activates the trading bot, the system will automatically transfer the funds to an independent trading bot wallet. After the trading bot is shut down or concludes its run, our system will automatically close its orders and positions, and then transfer the remaining funds back to the original futures trading wallet.

Q: Can I add collateral after activating my trading bot, so I can reduce liquidation risk?

A: Users can see active bots by clicking the Bot tab at the top of the Positions interface. By clicking the edit button next to Bot Margin, a pop-up window will appear, enabling you to adjust the margin of that particular bot. Users can transfer USDT from the futures trading wallet to add to their margin (currently only USDT is supported as collateral) or transfer USDT out of the bot’s margin back to the futures trading wallet (this may increase your liquidation risk for that particular bot).

Q: What is the maximum number of Futures Grid bots that I can run?

A: Only 5 Futures Grid bots can be active for the same market simultaneously. There are no limits for the number of bots that can be run across all markets.
