Your bot is built so nothing moves your money without your say-so. Two things control that: the permission level that decides when it asks before acting, and the risk alerts you set to flag when a position runs past your comfort line.
Permission Levels
Your bot operates at one of a few levels depending on what you are asking it to do.
| Level | Covers | Behavior |
|---|
| View only (L0) | Market data, analysis, backtests, balance checks, reading your preferences | Runs freely, no confirmation |
| Confirm first (L1) | Buying and selling, opening or closing positions, withdrawals, changing risk settings | Shows a preview and waits for your approval |
| Auto-execute (L2) | The same actions, run without asking | Only active if you explicitly opt in |
What needs confirming
| Action | Confirm? |
|---|
| Buy or sell, open or close a position | Yes, preview then you approve |
| Move funds between your own accounts (wallet → perps account) | No, it’s just moving your own money, so it goes through |
| Withdraw to an external address | Yes, and more strictly: re-check the chain, token, address, and amount |
| Check quotes, analysis, backtests | No, it’s read-only |
Some safety checks can’t be switched off. Even with auto-execute on, any trade that fails a safety validation stops and pings you. And withdrawals to an external address always confirm, regardless of auto-execute. These stay on no matter what.
Trade confirmations don’t expire, so you can review at your own pace. The one exception is cross-chain bridge quotes, which carry a countdown because the price they quote is time-sensitive.
Risk Alerts
You can set thresholds that tell your bot when to flag you. These are reminders, not brakes. They notify you; they do not auto-close positions or halt trading. You stay in control of what to do next.
| Alert | How you set it | Resets |
|---|
| Daily realized loss | Any amount above 0 USDT | Daily at 00:00 UTC |
| Max daily drawdown | A percentage from your peak equity, e.g. 5% | Daily at 00:00 UTC |
| Max leverage | A multiple of notional to equity, e.g. 5x | Clears once you reduce below it |
Tips
- Set alerts before you size up. A drawdown alert is most useful before a bad day, not after.
- Remember alerts don’t act for you. When one fires, you still have to reduce or close the position yourself.
- Leave the safety checks alone. They only ever stop trades that fail validation, so they cost you nothing on normal orders.
