Deal limits
The «Deal limits» section lets you set a hard cap on the number of simultaneously active bot deals per exchange account. It’s a safety net: if you have several bots on one account, the limit keeps them from going over a reasonable total load.
Limits live at the account level, not at the individual bot level — that is, they count deals from all bots running on that account.
Settings table
Section titled “Settings table”The table has one row per exchange account of the current liquidity, with columns:
- Account — account name.
- Total limit — max simultaneously open deals on this account combined (regardless of direction).
- Long limit — separate cap for long deals.
- Short limit — separate cap for short deals.
- Action — «Edit» button to change the values.
How the limits work
Section titled “How the limits work”- Limits combine with bot-level conditions: the stricter one wins. If a bot is configured to a max of 5 simultaneous deals and the account limit is 3, the bot won’t exceed 3.
- Long and Short limits are subsets of the total. If total = 100, Long = 80, Short = 50 — the combined deals across both directions still can’t exceed 100.
- When the limit is reached, the bot does not open a new deal until one of the existing ones closes.
When to set them
Section titled “When to set them”- Test accounts. Set a small limit so an experimental bot doesn’t run away and pile up unnecessary positions.
- Isolated risk profile. On a conservative-strategy account, restrict tightly; on an aggressive one, leave a wide cap.
- Protection against bugs in your own scripts — if webhooks or external signals might re-send commands.
