Broker Field

Default quote currency

With the Default quote currency setting, you can control what quote currency crypto positions are quoted in by default. If the position cannot be quoted in the selected quote currency, then it will not show up as an open position. If you do not specify a default quote currency, then it will fallback to the brokers default quote currency.

If you want to use a different quote currency than your default quote currency, you can use the ticker field in the JSON payload when sending signals to TradersPost.

{
    "ticker": "BTC-USDT",
    "action": "sell"
}

In the above example, if you have an open BTC position that can be quoted in USDT, then the position will be sold in to USDT. If you do not have an open BTC position that can be quoted in USDT, then the signal will be rejected. Or when buying, the following example will buy BTC using USDC as the quote currency.

{
    "ticker": "BTC-USDC",
    "action": "buy"
}
