Automated Futures Trading

Ever thought how useful it would be to have a smart assistant that helps you with trading? That’s what you get with trigger orders. With this instrument, you can set your price targets, sit back, and open or close your positions automatically. Here are three useful order types that can help you manage your positions efficiently when trading Futures on the Nexo app.

  • Trigger Entry: Use it to set a specific price at which you want to enter a position.
  • Take Profit: Set a target price at which your position for the selected futures contract will be closed to realize profits.
  • Stop Loss: Set a target price at which your selected futures contract will be closed to prevent further losses.

Take a look at this short explainer to find out how you can set a trigger entry.

You Ask, We Answer

In this section, we're answering your product questions to help you get the most out of Nexo. This month we’ve got a question from Reddit. What’s the difference between Trigger Swaps and Dual Investment?

Answer: Trigger Swaps and Dual Investment both let you exchange assets like BTC for USDT, but they work differently. With Trigger Swaps, you choose the exact price to buy or sell. Dual Investment is more like making a timed deal, aiming for a price but ending after a certain period, even if that price isn't reached. It's a way to try and earn more interest within a set time. Keep an eye out for our upcoming “What's New” monthly updates, where we'll keep you informed about the latest product developments at Nexo.
