Risk Management During Adjustments
- 2-minute suspension: Affects only pairs moving to smaller decimal values.
- Uninterrupted trading: Pairs adjusting to larger decimals remain active.
Order handling:
- Existing limit orders with non-compliant decimals will cancel automatically.
- API orders follow rounding rules (buy orders round down; sell orders round up).
FAQs
1. Will my open positions be affected during the adjustment?
No. Positions remain intact, but orders may cancel if decimals exceed new tick sizes.
2. How do grid/DCA bots handle the change?
Open orders cancel first, then bots pause. They resume post-adjustment with updated tick sizes.
3. Can I place orders during the suspension?
No. Order placement, amendments, and cancellations are disabled for affected pairs.
