How futures trading works in TradeArmor: supported exchanges, leverage up to 20x, stop-loss and trailing take-profit, the tier it is on, and an honest note on leverage risk.
By Ed Cava··Updated
Futures add leverage, shorting, and stop-losses, and they add real risk. These answers cover how TradeArmor handles futures, which exchanges support them, and an honest view of when leverage is and is not appropriate.
Yes. TradeArmor supports automated futures trading on its Enterprise tier, including long and short positions, stop-loss orders, and trailing take-profit.
What leverage does TradeArmor support?
Up to 20x leverage on supported futures exchanges. Higher leverage increases both potential gains and the risk of liquidation, so size positions carefully.
Which exchanges support futures in TradeArmor?
Futures and perpetuals are available on Bybit, OKX, Bitget, KuCoin, and Hyperliquid. The other supported exchanges are spot only.
Can the bot trade both long and short?
Yes. Futures mode supports both long and short positions, so strategies can act in either direction.
Does TradeArmor have stop-losses for futures?
Yes. Futures mode includes stop-loss orders, along with take-profit and trailing take-profit, so you can define your exits.
Is automated futures trading risky?
Yes. Futures trading with leverage carries significant risk, including the risk of liquidation and losing your full margin. It is not suitable for everyone. Automation does not remove market risk; it only executes your rules consistently.
Should beginners use futures?
Most newer traders are better served starting with spot signals and DCA before using leverage. Futures amplify both outcomes, so understand liquidation and position sizing first.
What is the difference between spot and futures in TradeArmor?
Spot trading buys and holds the actual asset with no leverage. Futures trade contracts with leverage and the ability to short. The built-in cava-signals are for BTC/USDC spot; futures strategies are configured separately.
Which plan includes futures trading?
Futures and the grid bot are on the Enterprise plan at $89.99 per month.
Can I use trailing take-profit on futures?
Yes. Trailing take-profit lets a winning position keep running while protecting gains if the price reverses, and it is available in futures mode.
