Trading Futures with Altrady

·

Futures trading has become a cornerstone of modern cryptocurrency investing, offering traders the ability to leverage positions and profit from both rising and falling markets. Altrady, a powerful multi-exchange trading platform, supports USDⓈ-M perpetual futures across several major exchanges — including Binance, Bybit, Kucoin, and BingX — making it an ideal tool for active futures traders seeking centralized control over decentralized markets.

This guide dives deep into how to effectively trade futures using Altrady, covering supported features, account setup, order types, and position management — all while maintaining clarity, precision, and alignment with current trading best practices.

Supported Exchanges & Key Features

Altrady currently supports USDⓈ-M (USDT-margined) perpetual futures only, meaning coin-margined contracts are not available. Each exchange offers slightly different capabilities in terms of trading modes and leverage.

Binance Futures

Binance Futures on Altrady includes:

In multi-asset margin mode, your total balance reflects actual holdings plus unrealized PnL. The "Available Balance" is what you can actively use for opening new positions.

API Key Setup

To connect Binance Futures to Altrady:

  1. Create a Futures account on Binance and select your quote currency (USDT or BUSD).
  2. Generate an API key with Spot, Read, and Futures permissions enabled.
  3. Add the key to Altrady via the official integration guide.

Ensure Futures trading rights are explicitly allowed — otherwise, you won’t be able to place orders.

Bybit Futures

Bybit offers robust futures functionality through Altrady:

Connecting Your Account

Kucoin Futures

Kucoin’s integration is more limited but still functional:

Due to this fluctuating leverage model, risk management becomes even more critical when holding long-term positions.

API Integration

Follow the standard procedure to add a Kucoin API key that includes Futures permissions. This single key handles both Spot and Futures data synchronization.

BingX Futures

BingX provides flexible futures trading options:

Like others, BingX requires a properly configured API key that grants Futures trading access.

Setting Up Your Futures Trading Account

Each futures exchange requires a dedicated trading account within Altrady, linked with its own API key that has Futures permissions enabled. This ensures secure, real-time communication between Altrady and the exchange for order execution, balance updates, and position tracking.

⚠️ Once a position is opened (fully or partially filled), you cannot change the leverage. Always confirm your desired leverage before entering a trade.

Exchange identifiers used in Altrady include:

These codes may appear in widgets or settings when managing multiple exchanges.

Understanding the Trading Widget

The Trading widget in Altrady mirrors the core functionality of each exchange's native interface, with three additional fields specific to futures:

  1. Leverage Amount – Set your desired multiplier (e.g., 5x, 10x)
  2. Leverage Type – Cross or Isolated margin
  3. Reduce-only – Prevents increasing an existing position; useful for closing trades safely in One-way Mode
💡 If all balances show as zero in the Trading widget, Reduce-only is likely enabled. Disable it to resume normal trading.

In Hedge Mode, the interface replaces Buy/Sell with Long/Short + Open/Close actions, providing clearer directional control.

All standard order types — Market, Limit, Stop-Limit, etc. — are supported for both long and short entries and exits.

Placing Regular Orders

Regular orders follow a traditional two-step process: entry followed by manual exit setup.

Entry Process

  1. Turn Reduce-only OFF
  2. Choose leverage type and amount
  3. Enter trade details (side, size, price)
  4. Use percentage-based sizing based on leveraged value
  5. Submit the order

Exit Strategies

You can exit in two ways:

Option 1: Via the Trading Widget

Option 2: From My Positions

🛠 Missing historical trades can cause inaccurate position calculations. See below for fixes.

Using Smart Orders

Smart Orders are one of Altrady’s most powerful features — enabling automated strategies that combine entries, take profits, stop losses, trailing stops, and timed triggers in a single workflow.

Features include:

🔁 Always manage Smart Orders within Altrady — any changes made directly on the exchange will break synchronization.

A completed Smart Order generates a Smart Position, grouping all related trades for accurate analytics in My Positions and the Break Even Calculator.

Managing Positions: My Positions & Break Even Calculator

Altrady’s analytical engine treats positions independently from exchange-level management. This means:

Due to limited historical data provided by exchanges (often just 24 hours), initial position accuracy may suffer.

Fixing Inaccurate Positions

Option 1: Import Full Trade History (Recommended)

  1. Manually import your full trade history (requires paid subscription)

  2. For each market:

    • Delete the current position in the Position Info widget
    • Click “New” to rebuild using imported data
    • Set start date before first trade
    • Save

You can also define custom start/end dates by right-clicking the chart and selecting:

Option 2: Start Fresh

  1. Open Position Info widget
  2. Set end date of current position to today
  3. Save — it will auto-adjust to last trade
  4. New trades will begin fresh positions
