OctoBot 1.0.9: Crypto Baskets, Exposure Limits, and Relative Orders
Article OctoBot
Summary
This release note describes OctoBot 1.0.9 features relevant to automated crypto trading. Its Index Trading Mode divides holdings in a reference market among selected trading pairs, with a configurable rebalance interval and threshold. The note also says basket composition can be optimized through backtesting, but it gives no test results or guidance on how to conduct that optimization.
For risk control, DCA strategies can set a maximum holding for an asset to limit repeated buying from accumulating excessive exposure. TradingView alerts can specify limit and stop order prices relative to the current price or as an absolute price. The release note also reports exchange compatibility and order-flow improvements. These are product capabilities rather than evidence of strategy performance: it provides no performance data, implementation detail, or comparison with other approaches. Cloud deployment information is operational context, not trading methodology.
Key ideas
- Index Trading Mode distributes reference-market holdings across selected crypto pairs.
- A rebalance interval and threshold determine when a basket responds to changes in coin values.
- Backtesting can be used to explore basket composition, though no results are reported.
- A maximum asset holding can constrain exposure accumulated by repeated DCA purchases.
- TradingView orders can use relative or absolute prices for limit and stop instructions.

## Introducing OctoBot 1.0.9
We're glad to announce the release of OctoBot 1.0.9. This version notably adds support for the above mentioned [DigitalOcean One Click Deployment](/guides/octobot-installation/cloud-install-octobot-on-digitalocean) and also adds custom crypto baskets into OctoBot and improves the existing trading modes while fixing many issues.
### Crypto Baskets
Similarly to [OctoBot cloud crypto baskets](https://www.octobot.cloud/features/crypto-basket), you can now create your own crypto baskets using OctoBot and the new [Index Trading Mode](/guides/octobot-trading-modes/index-trading-mode).

When using the Index Trading Mode, your OctoBot will split your reference market holdings into the different coins of your traded pairs. You can also define a rebalance interval and threshold to customize the way your OctoBot should behave when coins held in your basket change in value.
And of course, you can use backtesting to optimize the content of your baskets!
### Improved trading modes
Both the DCA and TradingView trading mode have been improved in OctoBot 1.0.9.
**DCA Trading Mode**
The [DCA Trading Mode](/guides/octobot-trading-modes/dca-trading-mode) now supports an additional parameter. By setting the `Max asset holding` of your DCA strategies, you can limit the exposure to a given asset. This is especially useful when using a evaluator-based DCA as it prevents your DCA bot from building an excessive exposure to a given asset when buying conditions are repeating.
**TradingView Trading Mode**

</div>
Limit and stop orders created by the [TradingView Trading Mode](/guides/octobot-trading-modes/tradingview-trading-mode) are now much more flexible.
The TradingView Trading Mode now supports [relative pricing](/guides/octobot-trading-modes/order-price-syntax) for limit and stop orders. This means that you can configure your TradingView alerts to trigger for example:
- A BTC/USDT buy order at -10% of the current price
- An ETH/BTC sell order at the current price + 0.01 BTC
- A BTC/USDT stop loss at the price of 35000 USDT
### Exchanges improvements
- **Coinbase**: OctoBot now support both the legacy and updated Coinbase API key format
- **MEXC**: Trading on MEXC is now much more stable
- **All exchanges**: The order flow inside OctoBot as been improved. This fixes many issues related to order synchronization as well as errors on order creation.
