If the amount displayed in your Open Trades page is lower than your configured Amount Per Trade, it usually means the combination of your Amount Per Trade and selected leverage exceeds the maximum position size allowed by the exchange for that specific symbol.
How Do I Know This is The Case?
If you have Telegram notifications enabled (learn more here), check the trade notification for that specific symbol. If the following message appears:
🔧 Your trade amount was opened with less than the desired amount since it surpassed the exchange's limitation.
This confirms that your bot attempted to open a larger trade than the exchange allows, and the amount was automatically reduced to comply with trading limits
What Should I Do?
This notification is not an error, but simply a result of your configuration exceeding the exchange's limits. If it happens frequently, consider adjusting your bot’s configuration to avoid it:
Reduce your Amount Per Trade
Reduce the Leverage Multiplier
These changes will help ensure that your configured trade amount is applied in full without being limited by the exchange the next time.
⚠️ Note - the change will only apply for future trades and not past trades.
