FAQ

Rather than placing one massive order at a single price, a scaled order strategically enters multiple smaller limit orders at progressively higher or lower prices within a given range. This trading approach allows large total order quantities to be executed across incremental price points. Spreading out the full order aims to minimize market impact compared to aggressively buying or selling the total amount at once. Scaled orders are often utilized in financial markets to accumulate major positions in an asset or unload large holdings without dramatically swaying the prevailing price through sudden spikes in supply or demand. The scaling effect intends to get better execution by blending into normal trading activity.

In trading, scaling into or out of positions means adjusting your position size incrementally, which can minimize risk and improve average prices while staying adaptable to market shifts.

To execute a scaled order on Bitsgap, first choose whether you want to buy or sell. Then set your high and low price limits, with sufficient range between them for your desired number of orders. Next, select the number of incremental orders you want across that range, from 10 to 100 levels. Decide the total amount you want to trade in base or quote currency — this will be evenly divided across your order levels. Once configured, click to launch the scaled order.

You can track order status and filled volumes in the Open Orders tab as the market reaches your limit prices. As orders fill, the price range, volumes, and completion percentage will adjust. If needed, you can cancel the high and low orders to stop the scaled order.

Bitsgap’s scaled orders let you methodically enter or exit the market at various price points, leveraging volatility for better average pricing while minimizing market disturbance.

Scaling in trading refers to gradually building or exiting a position through multiple smaller trades, as opposed to a single large order. There are some telltale signs that a trader is employing a scaling strategy:
  • The trader enters the market with several smaller orders over time to accumulate the full position size, rather than one big entry order.
  • Entry and exit points are at various price levels, allowing the trader to get a better average price.
  • Scaling happens over an extended timeframe, evident by the trade history showing many smaller transactions.
  • For exits, the trader closes the position in portions at different prices, capturing gains at various take-profit levels.
  • As the price moves, stop losses are adjusted to protect open profits.

On platforms like Bitsgap that support scaled orders, scaling is visible through:

  • The order book showing multiple orders at incremental price points.
  • Active orders displaying numerous open orders across a range of prices.
  • Trade history reflecting a pattern of small entries or exits, not big singular trades.

In summary, scaling is a strategic approach to manage risk and optimize pricing by incrementally adjusting position size over time and price. It contrasts with less cautious strategies of just buying or selling the whole position at one price in a single trade.

Scaling can certainly be used for day trading. To manage risk and optimize profits within their short holding periods, day traders will frequently scale in and out of positions throughout the trading session.

The general concept of scaling remains the same — gradually building or reducing position size rather than all at once. But with day trading, scaling happens at an accelerated pace over minutes or hours instead of days or weeks.

Intraday scalers may start small to assess conditions, then methodically increase their position as prices move favorably. To exit, scaling day traders may sell portions along the way to lock in gains instead of liquidating everything at day end.

Executing scaled orders quickly allows day traders to nimbly adjust sizing and risk as volatility fluctuates. While fast-paced, scaling principles still apply as an effective strategy for prudent intraday position management.

While related to position sizing, scaling and leveraging are distinct strategies. Scaling incrementally builds or reduces a position to control risk, minimize market impact, and improve pricing. Leveraging utilizes borrowed funds to increase buying power and magnify potential gains and losses.

In essence, scaling spreads out trades to manage execution, while leveraging amplifies positions by expanding purchasing power through debt. Scalers enter and exit gradually based on conditions. Leveragers take on greater financial risk and volatility pursuing larger returns.

Scaling aims for optimized trade mechanics. Leveraging seeks multiplied profits through increased exposure funded by borrowed capital.

Scaling structures trades themselves. Leveraging facilitates bigger positions with borrowed money. One focuses on execution, the other on risking debt to increase potential profits and losses. Understanding their differences allows strategic application.
