Understanding the CB009 Strategy

The CB009 strategy is designed for users who expect Solana's (SOL) value to appreciate against the US Dollar (USD). This strategy leverages linear derivatives markets to manage your crypto holdings and settle profits in USD, regardless of the underlying asset's price fluctuations.

  • Market: Linear Derivatives

  • Held Asset: SOL

  • Settlement Asset: USD

  • Strategy: Long / Short

This strategy is generally Available from BTC.D top, and remains Available until BTC.D bottom and vice versa. For more information on Solana-specific trading options, visit our Solana Bots page.

Key Features and Operational Flow

The CB009 strategy utilizes SOL as collateral to trade in linear derivatives markets. It programmatically buys (long) or sells (short) contracts priced in USD, depending on the market trend. The strategy then closes these positions when the trend reverses, allowing for profit settlement in USD even though the collateral is denominated in SOL. This strategy is available across all market cycles.

Key features of the CB009 strategy include:

  • Leverage: 1.0x

  • Safety Net: Approximately -50%

  • Minimum Deposit: 100 SOL

Important Risk Management Details

Important!

When it comes to derivative strategies, users should be aware that, due to convexity and leverage, there is a price at which the position will be liquidated unless additional margin is added to the account, also known as a margin call. This accounts for both the initial margin used and the effects of convexity.

At cryptobots.io, we adopt a conservative approach to risk management by limiting leverage to a maximum of 1.0x out of 125x possible. This conservative leverage level provides approximately a 50% safety net (measured from the average price) before additional margin is required to maintain the position.
