Deployment guide
How to set up
A safe first-run walkthrough — required inputs, supported brokers, and the checklist we ask every trader to complete before going live.
Python 3.11+ · always-on VPS (funding windows are UTC 00:00 / 08:00 / 16:00)
- Binance Futures + Binance Spot (delta-neutral leg)
- Bybit Perp + Bybit Spot
- OKX Perp + OKX Spot
Exchange API keys (spot + perp)
RequiredBoth legs on the same exchange to avoid transfer risk.
Min funding rate threshold
Default 0.01% per 8h (roughly 10% APR). Skip anything smaller.
Max notional per pair
Cap in USDT. Prevents oversized delta-neutral exposure.
Rebalance drift %
Re-hedges if spot/perp delta drifts past this. Default 2%.
- 1Understand that funding can flip negative — the bot exits, but you eat the flip.
- 2Test on Binance testnet first; confirm both legs fill within 500ms of each other.
- 3Start with $500–1,000 notional per pair. Scale linearly with observed reliability.
- 4Whitelist API keys by IP. Withdrawal permission stays OFF on both keys.
- 5Reserve 20% of capital as a liquidation buffer on the perp leg — never run maxed margin.
