What Is a Scaled  Order?

A Scaled order is an intelligent batch order tool available on the Bitunix futures trading order panel. Users only need to set the price range, total order amount, and number of split orders. The system will then automatically divide one large order into multiple limit orders and place them evenly within the selected price range.

This helps traders build positions in batches more efficiently, without manually placing each order one by one.

Core Advantages of Scaled Orders

• ✅ Improves efficiency and removes the need for manual order splitting
Traders do not need to manually divide large orders one by one. The system automatically splits and places the orders, reducing cumbersome operations, low efficiency, and manual errors.

• ✅ Covers the selected price range more accurately
Orders are distributed evenly within the preset price range. This helps traders manage entries more systematically during market fluctuations and reduces the difficulty of manually balancing price coverage.

• ✅ Helps reduce transaction slippage
Large orders are split into multiple smaller limit orders, which can better match market depth and reduce the impact of a single large transaction on the market price.

• ✅ Optimizes the average entry price and position cost
Scaled orders support multi-price entries, helping traders avoid building a large position at a single price point. This can smooth the overall entry cost and improve position-building flexibility.

• ✅ Supports hidden orders and flexible risk control
By splitting a large order into smaller batches, segmented orders may reduce the visibility of large trading activity. Traders can also manage risk more flexibly by setting conditions for each batch order according to different market scenarios.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Where can I check the sub-order after the order is successfully placed?

View in the "Current Orders" list. Each order is displayed as an independent limit order, consistent with the style of a normal limit order.

Q2: Can I cancel all sub-orders with one click?

No. After the sub-orders are placed, they are independent of each other and need to be cancelled one by one, or use the "cancel all orders" function to clear them uniformly.

What should I do if some sub-orders fail to be placed?

Result: Only batch success/batch failure.

Q4: Why can I only select X orders and not 20?

The number of orders is constrained by the current maximum order quantity. If you have any questions, you can contact the technical side to confirm the backend configuration of the currency pair.

Q5: What features are currently not supported by Bitunix segmented delegation?

• Arithmetic/proportional/random modes of quantity distribution (only supports average distribution)
• Order unit: Nominal value/Cost value (only quantity orders are supported)

Q6: What Is the Difference Between Scaled Orders and Manually Placing Multiple Limit Orders?

• In essence, the final result is similar. Scaled orders generate multiple independent limit orders.
• The main difference is operational efficiency. With Scaled orders, the system automatically calculates the price spacing and order quantity allocation, then completes the order setup in one operation. This helps users avoid the tedious process of manually calculating and placing multiple limit orders one by one.

Precautions

• ⚠️ Scaled orders are limit orders
A Scaled order uses limit orders. If the market price does not reach the selected price range, the order will not be filled. Any unfilled sub-orders can be manually canceled.

• ⚠️ Sub-orders may not be fully executed during extreme market conditions
During sharp price movements or highly volatile market conditions, sub-orders may not be fully executed. Any remaining unfilled portion can be managed manually.

• ⚠️ The quantity distribution method should match the market condition
Use Average distribution for range-bound or sideways markets, and use Increasing or Decreasing distribution for trending markets.

• ⚠️ Fees are charged based on actual filled sub-orders
Trading fees are charged according to the actual execution of each sub-order. The fee rate is the same as ordinary limit orders.
