Most of the time your bot previews a trade and waits for you to confirm. Automated Trading flips that: you set the rules once, and your bot executes within them without asking every time. The limits you set are enforced on the backend, not just suggested in chat.
Automated Trading is off until you turn it on. It only runs after you explicitly opt in (see Risk Controls for how permission levels work). Soft phrasing like “can you handle this for me?” does not switch it on.
This is different from Thorp, which sends you signals to act on. Automated Trading acts for you, inside your constraints.

​
The Rules You Set

You define hard constraints and the backend enforces them on every trade. Defaults are deliberately loose, so set them to match how much rope you actually want to give the agent.
ConstraintDefaultWhat it does
Max concurrent positionsUnlimitedCaps how many positions can be open at once
Per-position allocationUncappedCaps how much capital one position can use; anything over the cap is automatically sized down
Leverage ceilingBTC/ETH 10x, altcoins 20xSkips any decision that would exceed it
DirectionBoth waysRestrict to long-only or short-only if you want
Margin modeCrossThe managed Agent runs cross-margin, unlike manual perps, which are isolated
These limits are enforced by the backend, not offered to the AI as soft suggestions.

​
How It Runs

Once enabled, the agent works on a loop:
  1. Pull market data across your holdings.
  2. Form decisions in one pass, for every coin at once.
  3. Apply your rules and drop anything that breaks a constraint.
  4. Execute the trades that pass.
  5. Attach TP/SL to the resulting positions automatically.
It re-checks your positions about every 150 seconds, so it reacts on that cadence rather than tick by tick. Every decision it makes, including ones your rules block, is logged to your decision history in the dashboard.
You can point the Agent at your own exchange testnet account (for example Binance Futures or Hyperliquid testnet) to dry-run a strategy before committing real funds.
Turning off authorization is not the same as closing your positions. If you disable the agent, any positions it already opened stay open and any in-flight trades keep going. Close positions and cancel orders yourself if that is what you want.

​
Tips

  • Start tight. Set a real allocation cap and leverage ceiling before you enable it, rather than leaving the loose defaults.
  • Check in on positions. The agent attaches TP/SL, but you still own the risk. Review what it is holding.
  • Disabling stops new trades, not open ones. If you want flat, close out manually after turning it off.
