Why does auto-trading need one-way mode?
The auto-trader works only in Binance's one-way position mode; if your futures account is in hedge mode, switch it on Binance before auto-trading, with no open orders or positions.
In one-way mode each coin has a single position, long or short. The bot's entries, take-profits and stops are built on that. In hedge mode Binance refuses its orders ("Order's position side does not match user's setting", -4061), and the bot tells you why.
Switching is done on Binance, not by the bot: on the futures trading screen choose USDⓈ-M, tap the settings icon at the top right, then Preference → Position Mode → One-way. Binance only allows it with no open orders and no open positions (errors -4067 and -4068 otherwise), and the setting now covers COIN-M futures as well, so cancel and close there too. If you use hedge mode for manual trading on the same account, keep auto-trading on a separate Binance sub-account instead.
