A basket goes live the same way a strategy does — but in one action for the whole portfolio. Press Go Live on the basket, set a budget, point each member at an exchange, and the platform creates a live venue for every strategy at once.
The powerful part: members do not have to share an exchange. A single basket can run each strategy on a different connected exchange, all managed as one portfolio.
One action, many venues#
Going live, step by step#
- Enable the basket for trading on its Overview tab. This turns its members on for paper first, so you can confirm behaviour before committing real capital.
- Press Go Live on the basket to open its live-trading dialog.
- Set a total budget. Press Auto-Estimate and the platform fills each member's allocation from your budget × its weight — a $1,000 budget on a 50/30/20 basket suggests $500 / $300 / $200. Adjust any of them by hand.
- Assign each member an exchange. A selector per strategy lets each one land on a compatible connected exchange — the same one, or different ones.
- Set leverage — Long and Short independently — and the max position size.
- Start Live Trading. Every member's live venue is created in one operation.
Running each member on a different exchange#
A basket can span exchanges: Strategy A on Binance, B on Bybit, C on Kraken, all in the same portfolio. The Go Live dialog checks each exchange's balance independently and stops you over-allocating on any one account.
Why bother? A few real reasons:
- Spread counterparty risk — not all your live capital sits on one venue.
- Use the best venue per market — a strategy trades wherever its pair has the deepest liquidity or lowest fees.
- Work within per-exchange limits — split allocation across accounts when one has caps you would otherwise hit.
Paper first, here too#
Enabling a basket for trading runs its members on paper before any live venue exists — the same proving-ground discipline as a single strategy. Confirm the basket behaves as its backtest promised, then Go Live. And a basket's live positions appear in the Positions view with the rest, with Risk Guard watching the account-level limits across every exchange the basket touches.
