Hi,
I have setup a Hedge Combo Bot with the same Deal size amount for Short and Long. However when the bot started, the size of the shorts is almost double than the one for longs. It seems to me that this is a bug. if not, how can we calculate the same order size for short an long?
here is the bot link:

We have received your report regarding the strange deal size calculation in your Hedge Combo Bot. Thanks for providing the bot link, it’s very helpful. We are looking into this and will provide an update as soon as possible.
You have configured notional value instead of cost. I guess that’s why.
Its related to deal settings. You have 100 levels. Order size in futures calcualted based on highest price, in long its about 4 and half, so order size is 0.2, multiply it by 100 you will get 20 render, at current rate its. about 56
Short size at highest price (current) is 0.4, multiply it by 100 you will get 40 render, which is aroun 100 usdt now.
okay so that means that I always need to calculate the Orders accordingly? In my opinion this is not very user friedly. If I want to invest 100usdt for short than I want to invest it accordingly and I’m confused if I need to calculate it for every coin.
Anyway, thanks for making it clear.
This is because you have a big grid, and due to futures logic, the order size should be the same, so on lowest prices value will be lower, on higher closer to target.
On spot everything looks okay for this configuration:
Yes but the settings are not the same as on my version.
Okay, It is still confusing for me to callculate something when I’m able to put some value into the bot…it doesn’t make sense for me. Is it somehow possible to see how much the deals size is without any minigrids?
That’s what I was doing. Removing all grid lines to only have the base and DCA orders.
When calculating order size for such big grid in futures, there could be discrepancy between settings and deal budget, due to rounding rule, fee adjust, price step and etc. Also grid orders should be of the same base size, to ensure position will work as expected
In your case order size should be around 0.25 (its still in total will be less than 100, but closer), but order size step is 0.1, so it rounds down to 0.2, which is around 20% less.
You can check example orders, base order size is what going to be deal budget if DCA orders not enabled.
