There are different ways to configure your buy amounts in the Base config under 'Coins and amounts' of your trading bot. Do you want to open trades based on a percentage of your funds or do you rather have a consistent order size? Keep in mind that certain signal configurations may override these settings, so it's important to review and align them as needed.

  1. Percentage of your funds If you prefer trades to be opened based on a percentage of your balance, you can use 'Percentage buy amount'. Determine the percentage of your balance, and the trading bot will open positions based on this percentage. Ensure that when you want to trade based on a percentage, the 'Minimum trade amount' should be lower than the Percentage buy amount.

  2. Consistent order size If you prefer orders to always have exactly the same size, you can choose to use 'Minimum buy amounts'. For example, set your Minimum buy amount to 1000 USDT. In this case, ensure that the 'Percentage buy amount' is lower than the 'Minimum trade amount'.3. Signal Configuration Overrides In some cases, trade sizes might be affected by enabled signal configurations, such as percentage profit or stop loss. To maintain fixed trade sizes, disable these configurations within your settings.For unlimited trade sizes, you can leave the 'Maximum Trade Amount Allocated' field blank.Regularly review your bot's performance to ensure that trade sizes align with your configured preferences. If discrepancies occur, double-check for unwanted signal configuration overrides.
