Why does the bot say my position size is below the coin's minimum order?
Binance sets a smallest order value and quantity step for each coin, and your position size times your leverage was below it for that coin, so the entry was skipped or refused; a larger position size fixes it.
The message you got: in /lastsignals, "your position size is below this coin's minimum order".
What it means. The order the bot sends is worth your position size × your leverage: 5 USDT at 2x is a 10 USDT order. Binance sets, for each coin, a minimum order value and a quantity step, and they differ between coins; its refusal for a too-small order usually names 5 USDT (error -4164). On a high-priced coin, the smallest quantity Binance allows can be worth more than your whole order, so the quantity rounds to zero. The bot checks this before sending and skips the entry; when Binance still refuses one (-4164, or -1111 for a quantity it cannot take), you see the same sentence. Other coins trade normally.
What to do:
- Raise
/setPositionSizeso that size × leverage clears the minimum with room to spare./summaryshows your size, leverage and the order value. - Or accept the skips. With a small size only some coins are skipped; nothing is wrong with your account.
- Raising leverage also makes the order bigger, but it brings liquidation closer; prefer a larger size at modest leverage. The position size calculator helps you choose.
