Commands for position size, leverage, margin and stop-loss

/setPositionSize, /setLeverage, /setPositionLimit, /setMarginType, /setStopLoss and /setStopType decide how much each trade puts at risk; each has a matching show command, such as /myLeverage.

These six settings decide how much money each trade uses and how much it can lose. Send the value on the same line (/setLeverage 3), or the command on its own to be asked.

Command Values Starts at What it does
/setPositionSize 5 to 50 USDT on Tier 1, to 10,000 on Tier 2, to 50,000 on Tier 3 25 The margin each trade uses. The position on Binance is that margin times your leverage: 25 USDT at 2x is a 50 USDT position. During the free trial the bot trades at most 10 USDT a trade, whatever this says.
/setLeverage 1 to 20 2 How many times your margin goes into each position. Higher leverage leaves a smaller move against you before Binance liquidates the position, roughly 100% divided by the leverage. Where a coin allows less than your setting, the bot uses the coin's maximum.
/setPositionLimit 1 to 10 on Tier 1, to 100 on Tier 2, to 500 on Tier 3 10 The most coins the bot holds at once. It counts every open position on your futures account, the ones you open yourself included, so a full limit means new signals are skipped. The free trial holds at most 3.
/setMarginType ISOLATED or CROSSED ISOLATED Isolated: each position has its own margin, and a loss on it cannot take more than that margin. Cross: your whole futures balance backs every position.
/setStopLoss 0 to 90 (%) 35 How far the price may move against an entry before the bot closes it. Send 20 for a 20% stop, not 0.2. 0 means no stop.
/setStopType SINGLE, COMBINED or OFF SINGLE SINGLE: one stop per entry, measured from where that entry filled. COMBINED: one stop for the whole position, from its average entry. OFF: no stop order at all, whatever /setStopLoss says.

Show your current value: /myPositionSize, /myLeverage, /myPositionLimit, /myMarginType, /myStopLoss, /myStopType.

The stop has to fit the leverage. The stop is a price move, not a share of your margin, and it only protects you if it is closer than the liquidation price. On isolated margin the bot refuses a stop it can never reach and tells you the largest one that works; if you raise the leverage, it asks you to lower the stop first. On cross margin a wider stop is saved with a warning, because the loss can then draw on your whole futures balance. Details: how the stop-loss works and why positions get liquidated.

At the starting values, one trade of 25 USDT at 2x is a 50 USDT position, and a 35% stop loses about 17.50 USDT on it before fees and slippage. /summary does this arithmetic for your own settings.

The position size calculator and the liquidation price calculator show the same numbers for any coin before you change anything.
