Cross Trades

The Cross Trades module allows you to copy trades onto alternate api keys. This is useful for those who want to trade on multiple exchanges or accounts at once.

It can be used to copy trades from one account to another, or to copy trades from one exchange to another. It even supports a form of basket trading where you can go long on one ticker and short on another, or vice versa.

caution

Cross Trades is currently in beta and may not work as expected. Please report any issues you encounter to the support team.

Accessing the Cross Trades module​

For the duration of the beta testing of this module you will need to be granted access. Please contact the team on Discord to request access.

Activating & Setting up the Cross-Trades module​

In the top right of your terminal when logged in you can access the module selector option and can select the Cross Trades module.

This will place the module on your layout and you can proceed to set it up and use it.

  • You will need to enable the 'Shared Worker' option in the settings of the Cross Trades module.

    • Do not enable the worker on more then a single instance.

  • In the top left of the module choose the account you wish to make as a master. You need to be logged in and have the account linked in order to use this option.

    • Make sure to toggle the On switch so that the module will be fully enabled.

  • After you have enabled a master account you can then click the button to add Copier's.

    • In these copier accounts you can select the account(s) you wish to copy trades to.

Configuring Copier Accounts​

Some of the settings you can adjust are the Weight, Weight Mode & the Execution type.

Cross Trades Settings

  • Weight: This is the amount of the trade that will be copied to the copier account. For example, if you set the weight to 0.5, then half of the trade will be copied to the copier account.

    • Note: Value's can also be set to negative. So if you long 1 BTC on the master account, and the copier is set to -0.5 then it will short 0.5 BTC on the copier account.

  • Weight Mode: This is the mode in which the weight will be applied. You can choose between 'Absolute' and 'Relative'.

    • Absolute: The weight will be applied as a fixed amount.
    • Balance: The weight will be applied as a percentage of the trade size.

  • Execution Type: This is the type of execution that will be used for the copied trades. You can choose between 'Market', 'Limit Slippage', and 'Chase'.

    • Market: The copied trades will be executed immediately at the market price.
    • Limit Slippage: The copied trades will be executed at a limit price with a slippage tolerance.
    • Chase: The copied trades will be executed at limit and will attempt to chase price as it moves. This is useful for fast moving markets where you want to ensure that the trade is executed but not at the expense of a market order.
