BTSE Risk Management

---

Viewing Positions

# All open positions
btse_get_positions()

# One symbol
btse_get_positions(symbol="BTC-PERP")

Or use the composite tool for a full account view:

btse_account_overview(account_id="default")

Returns wallet balance + positions + open orders together.

Use the position_review prompt for a formatted table with PnL and liquidation risk flags per position.

Risk Flags

When reviewing positions, apply these rules:

Flag	Condition
🔴 DANGER	Liquidation price within 5% of mark price
🟡 WARNING	Liquidation price within 10% of mark price
🟢 OK	Otherwise

Alert the user immediately if any position has a 🔴 DANGER flag.

Closing a Position

Always use reduce_only=True when closing to avoid accidentally flipping direction:

# Close at market price (safest for urgent closes)
btse_close_position(symbol="BTC-PERP", close_type="MARKET")

# Close at a limit price
btse_close_position(symbol="BTC-PERP", close_type="LIMIT", price=85000)

Alternatively, place a reduce-only order:

btse_create_order(
  symbol="BTC-PERP",
  side="SELL",          # opposite of your position side
  order_type="MARKET",
  size=0.01,
  reduce_only=True
)

Leverage

# Get current leverage
btse_get_leverage(symbol="BTC-PERP")

# Set leverage
btse_set_leverage(
  symbol="BTC-PERP",
  leverage=10,
  margin_mode="ISOLATED"  # ISOLATED | CROSS
)

Rules before setting leverage:

• Never set above 20x without the user explicitly stating the number
• Above 10x: calculate and show the liquidation price before confirming
• leverage=0 means maximum cross leverage
• Do not change leverage if the user is just trying to close a position — it affects margin on existing positions

Leverage safety table (approximate for isolated margin):

Leverage	Liquidation at loss of
5x	~18%
10x	~9%
20x	~4.5%
50x	~1.8%
100x	~0.9%
