CB006 - Hold ETH Profit in USD via Linear Derivatives

The CB006 strategy allows you to utilize your Ethereum (ETH) holdings as collateral to generate profits in USD through linear derivatives markets. This guide explains how the strategy works, its key features, and important risk considerations.

Understanding the CB006 Strategy

The CB006 strategy is designed for trading in Linear Derivatives markets. It uses ETH as the held asset and also as the settlement asset for the underlying collateral. The core of the strategy involves programmatic Long / Short trading of contracts priced in USD.

This means the system automatically buys (goes long) or sells (goes short) these USD-denominated contracts based on prevailing market trends. When the market trend reverses, the strategy closes these positions. This allows for profit settlement in USD, even though your initial collateral is denominated in ETH. This versatile strategy is available across all market cycles, specifically operating from a BTC.D bottom until a BTC.D top or the other way around.

Key Features of CB006

The CB006 strategy offers specific parameters designed for a balanced approach to trading:

  • Leverage: 1x
    The strategy operates with a conservative 1x leverage. This significantly reduces the risk compared to higher leverage options available in derivatives markets, providing a more stable trading environment.

  • Safety Net: ~ -50%
    With 1x leverage, the strategy provides approximately a 50% safety net. This means the underlying asset's price can drop by about 50% from the average buy/sell price before additional margin is required to maintain the position and avoid liquidation.

  • Minimum Deposit: 10 ETH
    To activate the CB006 strategy, a minimum deposit of 10 ETH is required. This ensures sufficient capital for effective strategy execution. For more information on how funds are used, see Does the System Use Your Entire Balance for Each Trade?

  • Maximum Deposit: $4,000,000
    The maximum deposit for this strategy is capped at $4,000,000 per account or sub-account. This limit helps manage overall risk exposure for individual users.

  • Expected Return: 2.5%+ per month
    Users can expect an average return of 2.5% or more per month. For details on how profits are shared, visit our Profit Share page.

How CB006 Manages Profit Settlement in USD

The core innovation of the CB006 strategy lies in its ability to settle profits in USD while using ETH as collateral. Here’s a breakdown of the process:

  1. ETH Collateralization: Your deposited ETH is used as collateral on linear derivatives markets.

  2. Programmatic Trading: The strategy executes long (buy) or short (sell) positions

  3. Trend Reversal and Closure: When the market trend shows signs of reversal, the strategy programmatically closes the open positions.

  4. USD Profit Settlement: The profits generated from these closed positions are settled in USD. This mechanism allows you to accumulate gains in a stable currency (USD) while your primary asset (ETH) remains collateralized.

This approach provides a unique way to diversify your profit holdings and manage exposure to ETH price fluctuations, ensuring your gains are realized in USD.

Important Risk Information: Liquidation and Margin Calls

Derivative trading inherently carries risks, including the potential for liquidation. This occurs when the value of your collateral falls below a certain threshold, leading to the automatic closure of your position. This is often triggered by a margin call, which is a demand for additional funds to maintain the required margin level.

At cryptobots.io, we prioritize risk management through a conservative approach. We limit the leverage used in the CB006 strategy to a maximum of 1.0x, despite exchanges often offering up to 125x. This low leverage provides a significant safety net of approximately 50% (measured from the average buy/sell price) before a margin call would be issued. This conservative strategy helps mitigate the risk of sudden liquidations and protects your capital.
