Quickstart

Let's discover Trading React in less than 5 minutes. This quick guide assume you have a basic understanding of orders type. If it's not the case you can find more information here.

Getting Started​

Binding your API Key​

The first step is to bind an API Key to Trading React. For Binance it's very simple and you should find all the information here. During the process, you'll have to allow futures.

Then go to Menu -> API Keys and simply submit it.

Transfering funds on USDⓈ-M Futures​

This plateform works only for USDⓈ-M Futures (more exchanges will be added later). Transfer some USDT directly on your exchange, then you should be able to see them on your Wallet module.

Can you trade ?​

After adding a symbol to your interface with Add Symbol , when you click on the associated chart, you will notice a ring around it :

Tradable
Executing order is possible.
Not Tradable
Executing order is not possible.

The indigo color informs you that a valid API Key has been configured and everything is ready to start your trading. If something is missing, the ring will be gray.

info

There are plenty cases for a non tradable state. If you want to know what is blocking, just enter a random order and the interface will notify you the issue.

Start your trading session​

Entering your first order​

If you are in the tradable state, you can now enter your first order. For exemple, you could enter a limit long by clicking on your desired price on the chart, then this hotkey :

Up
+
p

The ring will then turn dashed meaning your last order is cancelable :

Cancelable
Canceling a not yet filled order is possible.

You can wait until the order get filled, or click a to cancel it.

Reading your actions on the chart​

With trading React, everything you need to know is on the chart. This choice of design has its downside: the information displayed is a bit codified to occupy the fewer space while giving the most information.

We have chosen emojis to display information because it's compact and expressive, you'll have to learn the meaning of them to use this interface:

  • ⬆ : is a long, you are betting on price increase.

  • ⬇ : is a short, you are betting on price decrease.

  • ✋ : is where the position will be stopped.

  • 💰 : is a take profit order. You will have the expected PNL displayed beside.

  • ☠️ : is the liquidation price. It should be always further than your stop.

Orders, potential orders, and positions are discriminated by the type of the line :

  • sparsely dotted lines are for potential orders, normally you should have 3 potential stops on a tradable symbol: 2 for market orders long and short and one for your limit order long or short. These potential orders will disappear when you enter on position.

  • dashed lines are for real orders or position. They will be displayed if your orders get executed or filled.

  • solid line is only for your maker price (limit open/close). You can move it by using hotkeys or by clicking directly on the chart at the desired price.

Manage your position​

Once you are in position, the ring will change color if you are on a winning or a losing trade :

Closable
Executing a close order is possible
Closable & Cancelable
Executing or Canceling a close order is possible.

With the same logic, you can cancel a limit close order which is not filled yet, or close it immediately with a market order.

Editing an order

On this platform, you can't modify directly a limit open or close order once it's executed. If you change your mind, you will have to cancel your order, then execute a new one. Modifying an order (which is possible on most platforms) is dangerous and can lead to unwanted trade execution. This platform prevents it by design.
