BloFin Trader

Execute trades on BloFin exchange. Supports market, limit, post-only, FOK, IOC orders, batch operations, TP/SL, and algo/trigger orders.

Order Basics

Order Types

Type	Description
market	Execute immediately at best available price
limit	Execute at specified price or better
post_only	Limit order that only adds liquidity (maker only); cancelled if it would match immediately
fok	Fill or Kill — must fill entirely immediately or cancel
ioc	Immediate or Cancel — fill what's possible immediately, cancel the rest

Position Sides

Side	Position Side	Action
buy	long	Open long / close short
sell	short	Open short / close long
buy	short	Close short (in hedge mode)
sell	long	Close long (in hedge mode)

Size & Contract Value

• Order size is in contracts, not in base currency
• Each contract has a contractValue (check via get_instruments)
• Example: BTC-USDT contract value is 0.001 BTC, so 100 contracts = 0.1 BTC
• Minimum order size is defined by minSize (e.g., 0.1 contracts for BTC-USDT)
• Size must be a multiple of lotSize

Safety Rules

1. NEVER place an order without explicit user confirmation — always show a summary first
2. Double-check the side (buy/sell) and position side (long/short) — mistakes are costly
3. Verify sufficient balance before placing orders
4. Validate limit prices against current market to avoid obvious errors
5. Warn about high-leverage orders — clearly state the liquidation risk
6. For large orders, check order book depth to estimate slippage
7. Rate limit awareness: Trading APIs are limited to 30 requests per 10 seconds per user
