Question for high IQ math people: > I go long. > I set TP for 1%, at which point I want to fully hedge the position. Do I set a limit sell order for 201% of the position to achieve this? If not, what's correct?

"Do I set a limit sell order for 201% of the position to achieve this? " To be more clear, this should say: "...201% of the position *size* (i.e. if longing 100 contracts, then sell order is for 201 contracts)"

Depends on what "size" means. On FTX, "size" means "number of the thing you're trading". On inverted orderbooks, "size" generally means "number of the currency you're using"--often USD. And what do you mean by "fully hedge"? Do you want to end with pure USD or BTC?

Sorry I dont think I answered for “size”. So let’s say “size” = 100% of balance @ execution price (with BTC as collateral) Then I successfully complete a long that I close at +1% from avg entry I am looking to close it and be fully hedged accounting for the new profits
