Advanced Trading: Limit Orders, DCA, & Perpetuals ⚙️

Automate your strategy and access powerful trading tools.

Limit Orders

• What it is: Set an order to automatically buy or sell a token when it reaches a price you've chosen. This is perfect for executing trades while you're away.

• Command Examples:

  • Sell my ETH when it hits $4,000

  • Buy DOGE if the price drops 10%

  • Check my limit order status

• How it Works (Under the Hood):

  • These commands use the 'limit_buy' and 'limit_sell' operation types. Tator creates an order with a target_price or price_percentage and monitors the market. When your condition is met, the trade executes automatically.

Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA)

• What it is: Set up a schedule to automatically buy or sell a fixed amount of a token at regular intervals. This is a great way to build a position over time and reduce the impact of market volatility.

• Command Examples:

  • DCA $20 into ETH weekly for 3 months

  • Start a daily recurring buy of $5 of BTC

  • Sell 1000 USDC every day for the next 30 days

  • Pause my ETH DCA plan

• UI Mode: Use the "DCA" button to configure your automated trading plan.

• How it Works (Under the Hood):

  • This creates a 'dca_buy' or 'dca_sell' operation. The DCAConfig object stores your plan's frequency ('hourly', 'daily', 'weekly'), amount_per_execution, and duration (total_budget or max_executions). Tator's backend service then executes these trades for you automatically.

Perpetuals Trading (Leverage)

• What it is: Trade with leverage (borrowed funds) to amplify your potential gains (and risks). Go "long" if you believe an asset's price will rise, or "short" if you believe it will fall.

• Command Examples:

  • Long BTC with $100 at 5x leverage

  • Short ETH with 10x

  • Show my perp positions

  • Close 50% of my BTC long

• How it Works (Under the Hood):

  • Tator integrates with leading perpetuals platforms like Hyperliquid. These commands use operation types like 'perp_long' and 'perp_short'. The operation specifies the leverage (e.g., 2-50x) and position_side ('long' or 'short').
