Exchange Order Templates for Matched Long-Short Hedge Trading

Article Strategy library · Author: makebit

Summary

This document describes an exchange-integrated framework for pairing accounts or markets into long and short sides, then opening or closing both legs together. Users designate long and short matches, inspect their status, and trigger a paired hedge operation. The accompanying order interface supports market and limit orders, time-in-force choices, reduce-only settings, order modification, batch submission, and asynchronous result handling across several exchanges.

The example also tracks balances, positions, tickers, minimum order sizes, and saved match state, with a dashboard for monitoring accounts and hedge pairs. It is primarily an implementation template rather than a tested trading strategy: it does not define a spread signal, hedge ratio, rebalancing rule, or performance evidence. Its usefulness lies in order execution and coordination mechanics, while practical results depend on exchange behavior, contract details, and how users choose and manage the paired exposures.

Key ideas

  • The framework pairs a long-side account or market with a short-side counterpart and can open or close both legs together.
  • Its order interface includes market and limit orders, time-in-force options, reduce-only behavior, and modification support.
  • Batch submission and asynchronous result handling are provided for coordinating exchange orders.
  • The dashboard tracks balances, positions, prices, minimum trade sizes, and match status.
  • The document supplies execution plumbing but does not specify a hedge signal, hedge ratio, or test results.
