Active Bots

The Active Bots section is the Futures Bots tab inside the Futures Terminal.

Use it when you want to monitor deals that are currently being managed by bots and when you need to adjust management settings after a position is already open.

What the tab shows​

This tab is built around active bot-managed deals.

At a practical level, it helps you review information such as:

  • the contract and direction of the deal;
  • the connected account;
  • leverage and related deal details;
  • deal code;
  • first-order information;
  • take profit, stop loss, and trailing stop parameters;
  • safety-order structure;
  • grid and back-to-entry related values;
  • timing, warnings, and possible errors;
  • whether the bot is currently enabled.

This makes the tab suitable for monitoring and everyday control of already running deals.

Editing an active bot-managed deal​

One of the main functions of this tab is the ability to edit a running deal.

Editing an active bot-managed deal

From the edit view, users can adjust key management settings such as:

  • Take Profit
  • Stop Loss
  • Trailing Stop trigger
  • Trailing Stop spread
  • Disable TP on hedge
  • TP and TSL trigger steps per safety order — for deals opened with steps.

This is useful when you want to adapt an already open deal to updated conditions without rebuilding the full setup from scratch.

All fields work as in Bot Settings: pick a value from the list or type your own. Only changed fields are checked. If an older deal holds a value outside today's limits, it does not block editing the other fields.

Editing TP, SL and TSL when part of the grid has filled​

If Bot Settings define TP / TSL steps, the deal moves to the next level after each filled safety order, and TP and the TSL trigger grow by their step. SL does not change. How to set the steps is described in Bot Settings.

The edit window of such a deal has a TP / TSL step-up block and a hint like "Level 1 of 14". The first number is how many grid safety orders have filled, the second is how many there are in total.

Editing rules:

  • TP and trigger fields show the values of the current level, not the original values from Bot Settings.
  • A new value becomes the current one. The bot re-places TP and TSL with it right away. The next levels are counted from the new value: each adds its step.
  • SL changes as usual. A new SL value applies on every level.
  • Levels already passed do not change. They are the deal's history.
  • A new step changes only the levels ahead. The orders on the exchange are not re-placed: the new step takes effect with the next filled SO.
  • A step needs its base value. A TP step can be set only while Take Profit is set, and a TSL trigger step only while the Trailing Stop trigger is set. Otherwise the field shows a hint to set the base value first.
  • If another SO fills while the form is open, saving is rejected with a message about the new level. Reopen the form and check the values. This keeps an edit from rolling TP back to a previous level.

Example. TP 2% with a 0.2% step, 5 SO in the grid, 2 have filled — the current TP is 2.4%.

ActionNow (after SO 2)After SO 3After SO 4After SO 5
Before the edit2.4%2.6%2.8%3%
TP changed to 3%3%3.2%3.4%3.6%
TP step changed to 0.5%2.4%2.9%3.4%3.9%

Also note:

  • Manual orders (Manual Safety Order) do not change the level. When a manual order fills, the bot re-places TP from the new average price with the same percentages.
  • TP and the TSL trigger are calculated from the average entry price, SL from the first order price.
  • For a deal whose bot settings have no steps, the step fields are inactive and TP, SL and TSL change as usual.

Safety Orders​

For each active deal, you can also open a separate Safety Orders view.

Safety Orders popup in Active Bots

This view is used to review the non-zero safety orders linked to the deal.

If the deal has TP / TSL steps, the view has TP after SO and TSL trigger after SO columns. They show which values take effect after each order fills. The row of the current level is highlighted: TP and TSL on the exchange are placed with its values right now. After you change values or steps in Edit Bot, the columns are recalculated.

It helps you:

  • inspect the current safety-order structure;
  • see which safety orders are already filled;
  • review the status of individual orders;
  • control whether a specific safety order remains under bot management.

Each listed safety order includes its own On/Off management switch. This is useful when you want more selective control over how the bot continues to handle parts of the order structure.

Manual Safety Order​

The Safety Orders view also supports adding a manual safety order.

Manual Safety Order popup

This manual order is created as a limit order.

When adding it, users can define:

  • the order price;
  • either the USD amount;
  • or the coin quantity.

This is helpful when you want to strengthen or fine-tune an already open deal with an additional manually placed order.

A manual safety order can also be added to a deal opened without a safety-order grid (0 safety orders in Bot Settings). The Safety Orders view of such a deal is empty until you add the first manual order. After a manual order fills, TP is re-placed from the new average price, while SL stays calculated from the first order price.

Enabling and disabling the bot​

The whole active bot also has its own enabled switch in the list.

This makes the tab important for adjusting deal parameters and controlling whether the bot remains active for that deal.

When using this control, keep in mind that the practical purpose of the tab is to manage an active bot-controlled position. If you disable bot control, the position may require more manual attention.

Typical workflow​

A common workflow in Active Bots looks like this:

  1. Open the Futures Bots tab inside the Terminal.
  2. Find the active deal you want to review.
  3. Check the core deal parameters in the list.
  4. Open Edit Bot if you need to adjust TP, SL, TSL settings or their steps.
  5. Open Safety Orders if you want to inspect the existing order structure.
  6. Add a Manual Safety Order if you want to strengthen the current setup.
  7. Use the On/Off management switch for a specific safety order when you need more selective control.
  8. Use the bot enabled switch when you need to control whether the bot remains active for that deal.

Summary​

Use Active Bots when you want to:

  • monitor active bot-managed deals;
  • adjust TP, SL, TSL-related settings and their steps after entry, including when part of the grid has filled;
  • review the safety-order structure of a running deal;
  • add a manual safety order;
  • control whether a specific safety order or the whole bot remains enabled.
