​​​​​Under what circumstances will the Futures Martingale Bot automatically terminate?

The Futures Martingale Bot can be automatically terminated for the following reasons:

 

1. Your Stop Loss is triggered.
2. Your profit target per round is met, and the “Enable Loop” is disabled.
3. Your position is liquidated.
4. The trading pair is delisted.
5. Your account is under a Trading Ban due to security reasons.

Why is the quantity for the add position order not multiplied by my position multiplier set?

 

 

 

1. Bybit Futures Martingale Bot applies your preset multiplier to the last order cost instead of the order quantity. Therefore, the quantity of the current order may not necessarily be a preset multiple of that of the previous order.

 

2. When trading USDT Perpetual contracts using the Futures Martingale Bot, there is a minimum order size requirement that must be met. When calculating the margin for an order, if the calculated margin falls below this minimum requirement, the system will automatically round up the order quantity to meet it. This rounding-up process may result in a situation where the ratio between the last order and the current order does not match the predefined position multiplier. 

Why am I seeing a negative PnL per round?

 

 

 

The Take Profit order in Futures Martingale Bot is a conditional market order to ensure guaranteed execution when the Profit Target is reached.  A market order is prone to slippage as it is executed at the prevailing market price. Hence, if the Profit Target per round is too low and the trading pair has limited liquidity, it is possible that the slippage can lead to an overall loss, even if the Take Profit order price is achieved.

Bonuses and fee savers are yet to be supported in Futures Martingale Bots.
