Taking a basket live

Run a whole basket with real capital in one action — each member on its own exchange if you like, with per-strategy allocation and leverage.

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 on a basket creates a live venue for each member strategy, and each can sit on a different connected exchange Basket one Go Live Strategy A venue $500 · 3× · Binance Strategy B venue $300 · 1× · Bybit Strategy C venue $200 · 2× · Kraken Managed as one basket Positions view
Each member becomes its own live venue — its own allocation, its own leverage, its own exchange if you want — but you watch and manage them together as the basket.

Going live, step by step#

  1. 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.
  2. Press Go Live on the basket to open its live-trading dialog.
  3. 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.
  4. Assign each member an exchange. A selector per strategy lets each one land on a compatible connected exchange — the same one, or different ones.
  5. Set leverageLong and Short independently — and the max position size.
  6. 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.
