General Discussion / Re: use stop loss for leveraged trading on BitMex?
« on: May 20, 2019, 07:03:02 PM »thanks, makes sense.
There is obviously also the stop limit parameter in misc settings. In my case that's set to 60% anyway.
So I guess when using, say, a 10x leverage and setting stop buy and stop sell in the margin settings to 6 would achieve the same result, only it would put the stop on BitMex's order book when opening the position whilst gunbot would look after the stop limit parameter itself?
Might be interesting to have it on the order book as an insurance if gunbot is offline for some reason.
Hi Larz, for Margin trading, when you use stop_limit from "Misc" tab, it's executed when the ROE reachs the amount you set.
If you want to leave the stop loss placed as "insurance", you can use stop loss buy and sell from "Margin" tab.
