Futures & Hedge Mode Signals

TradingView signals work with both spot and futures accounts on Amabit. Futures accounts have additional configuration options for margin and position modes.

Futures Signal Configuration

When creating a webhook for a futures account, you configure:

• Default Trade Mode — Cross Margin or Isolated Margin
• Position Side (Hedge Mode only) — LONG or SHORT

One-Way Mode Signals

In One-Way mode, a single webhook handles both long and short signals:

• "action": "buy" opens a long position (or closes a short)
• "action": "sell" opens a short position (or closes a long)

This is the simpler setup and works for most strategies.

Hedge Mode Signals

In Hedge Mode, you can hold both long and short positions simultaneously. This requires separate webhooks:

Long Webhook

Configure with Position Side = LONG

• Receives only buy signals for opening/managing long positions

Short Webhook

Configure with Position Side = SHORT

• Receives only sell signals for opening/managing short positions

Setup Steps

1. Create a webhook with Position Side = LONG → Get the URL
2. Create another webhook with Position Side = SHORT → Get the URL
3. In TradingView, create separate alerts:
   • Long entry alert → uses the LONG webhook URL
   • Short entry alert → uses the SHORT webhook URL

Reduce-Only for Futures

Use "reduce_only": true in the payload to ensure an order only reduces an existing position and never opens a new one. This is useful for:

• Exit-only signals
• Stop-loss signals that should not accidentally open a new position

Cross vs Isolated Margin

The margin mode set in the webhook configuration applies to all trades from that webhook:

• Cross Margin — Your entire account balance acts as margin. Lower liquidation risk, but losses can affect your full balance.
• Isolated Margin — Only the margin allocated to a specific position is at risk. Better risk isolation.

You can also change the margin mode directly in the terminal before signals start executing.
