How the Spot Martingale Strategy Works on BYDFi (PC)
The Spot Martingale Strategy is an automated trading tool designed to help users take advantage of market fluctuations by placing a series of buy and sell orders based on predefined rules. This guide explains how the strategy works on the BYDFi web platform, how to set it up, and includes a real-world example.
🔁 What Is the Spot Martingale Strategy?
The Spot Martingale Strategy works by averaging down your buying price as the market drops and aiming for profits when the price rebounds. Once the take-profit level is reached, all assets are sold, and the next cycle begins automatically.
🚀 How to Start the Spot Martingale Strategy
1. Access the Strategy
Log in to your BYDFi account on the official website and navigate to BOT in the top navigation bar.
2. Learn the Basics
Click “Explore Trading Bots” to access the Help Center and view the Beginner’s Operating Guide.
3. Access the Trading Interface
Click on Spot Martingale to open the trading interface.
4. Choose a Trading Pair
On the Spot Martingale page, click the coin pair dropdown in the top-left area (e.g., BTC/USDT) and select the pair you wish to trade.
5. Configure Strategy Parameters
Fill in the following fields to define how your Spot Martingale strategy will operate:
🔹 Trigger Conditions
- Price Scale (%): The percentage drop in price that triggers each safety (add-margin) order.
- Take-Profit Ratio (%): The profit percentage at which the system will automatically sell and complete the cycle.
🔹 Investment Settings
- Initial Order Amount: USDT amount for your first market buy (range: 12–20,000 USDT).
- Safety Order Amount: The amount allocated for each safety order (≥ 12 USDT).
- Max Safety Orders: The maximum number of safety orders (e.g., 8).
🔹 Current Balance
- Displays your available USDT balance for strategy use.
🔹 Advanced Settings (Optional)
- Trigger Price: Set a specific price to activate the strategy.
- Price Scale Multiplier: Adjusts the spacing between safety orders (e.g., 1x = fixed spacing, 1.5x = wider spacing as price drops).
- Safety Amount Multiplier: Increases each subsequent safety order size (e.g., 2x = doubles each time).
- Stop Loss Ratio (0.05–99.99%): Ends the strategy when losses exceed this threshold. Optionally auto-sell the base asset at market price.
After setting the parameters, click Create Strategy to activate it.
After Creation:
- Your investment amount is locked.
- A market order is executed immediately for the initial position.
- Safety limit buy orders are placed based on your parameters.
- A take-profit limit order is placed and dynamically adjusts with the average cost.
⚙️ Strategy Execution: How It Works
- Each time a safety (add-margin) buy order is filled, the system recalculates your average cost.
- The take-profit price updates dynamically based on the new average.
- Previous take-profit orders are canceled and replaced.
- Once the take-profit order is filled: All untriggered safety orders are canceled. A new cycle begins using your original settings.
You can terminate the strategy manually at any time and choose whether to sell the base coin at market price.
⛔️ Stop Loss & Risk Triggers
- The strategy will automatically terminate if the stop-loss ratio you set is hit.
- In cases of asset delisting, trading suspension, or major system anomalies, the strategy will auto-stop to protect your capital.
