To further expand its trading bot strategy offerings and meet users' diverse futures trading needs, Gate Trading Bots has officially launched the Futures Combo Strategy in App V8.40.0, providing users with a more flexible and diversified approach to automated futures trading.
1. What Is the Futures Combo Strategy?
The Futures Combo Bot is an automated trading tool designed to simplify the management of multiple futures contracts. Users can combine multiple contracts into a single portfolio and define the trading direction and target allocation for each contract.
Once the bot is created, the system establishes the initial positions, continuously monitors the portfolio, and automatically executes adjustments according to predefined rules. This allows users to manage multi-contract strategies more efficiently and flexibly adapt their portfolios to different market conditions.
2. Key Advantages of the Futures Combo Strategy
- Flexible Multi-Contract Portfolio Management: Manage 2–10 futures contracts within a single bot, with customizable trading directions and target allocations. This reduces the operational effort required to place orders, review positions, and manage individual contracts.
- Automatic Rebalancing to Maintain Target Allocations: Choose between threshold-based and time-based rebalancing. When position weights deviate from their targets beyond a predefined threshold, or when a scheduled rebalancing interval is reached, the system automatically adjusts the portfolio to bring each contract's allocation as close as possible to its target.
- Long and Short Combinations for Diverse Trading Strategies: Supports long-only, short-only, and mixed long-short configurations, with unified leverage and rebalancing settings. This enables users to implement trend-following, thematic, long-short hedging, and relative-value portfolio strategies.
- Multiple Creation Methods for Greater Flexibility: New users can explore and copy popular public strategies, while experienced traders can manually configure their portfolios by selecting contracts, trading directions, target allocations, leverage, and rebalancing rules.

4. Risk Disclaimer
The Futures Combo Strategy involves futures trading and carries risks associated with price volatility, leverage, and forced liquidation. Diversifying across multiple contracts does not guarantee reduced losses. During periods of extreme market volatility, multiple trading pairs may incur losses simultaneously.
Users should fully understand how the strategy operates, allocate funds and leverage according to their individual risk tolerance, and regularly monitor their bot's performance.
