1. DEFAULT MODE

Find market opportunities and open limit long or short positions with stop loss and take profit. Stop loss can be enabled optionally.

• AUTHORIZED_MARKET Markets allowed for trading. If set to '[]', all markets will be used. To restrict to specific markets, use something like:
  '["BTC_USDC_PERP", "SOL_USDC_PERP", "ETH_USDC_PERP"]'
• CERTAINTY Minimum certainty level required by the algorithm to open an order. Higher values will result in fewer trades. Range: 0 to 100.
• VOLUME_ORDER Default order volume in USD.
• ENABLE_STOPLOSS Enables stop loss from the AUTOMATIC_STOP module when set to true; disables when false. Can be used together with DEFAULT.
• MAX_ORDER_OPEN Maximum number of orders that can be open simultaneously (includes untriggered orders).
• UNIQUE_TREND If set to '', both LONG and SHORT positions are allowed. To restrict only LONG, use "LONG"; for SHORT only, use "SHORT".

2. AUTOMATIC_STOP MODE

Monitors open orders and attempts to update stop losses based on profit gaps.

• TRAILING_STOP_GAP Minimum acceptable gap in USD between the current stop loss and the next one. Example: If profit increases by $1, the stop will be updated.
• MAX_PERCENT_LOSS Maximum acceptable loss percentage, e.g., 1%. This is calculated based on order volume — be cautious when using leverage.
• MAX_PERCENT_PROFIT Maximum profit target percentage, e.g., 2%. Also based on order volume — leverage applies.

3. GRID MODE

Places orders above and below the current price to create volume in sideways markets.

• GRID_MARKET
  Market pair to be used in grid mode.
  Example: "SOL_USDC_PERP"

• NUMBER_OF_GRIDS
  Total number of grid levels the bot will create between LOWER_PRICE and UPPER_PRICE.
  Example: 100 creates 100 evenly spaced orders within the defined price range.

• UPPER_PRICE
  Highest price where the grid will place orders. No orders will be created above this value.
  Example: 185

• LOWER_PRICE
  Lowest price where the grid will place orders. No orders will be created below this value.
  Example: 179

• UPPER_FORCE_CLOSE
  If the market price reaches or exceeds this value, all open grid positions will be force-closed (top trigger).
  Example: 185.5

• LOWER_FORCE_CLOSE
  If the market price hits or drops below this value, all open grid positions will be force-closed (bottom trigger).
  Example: 178

• GRID_PNL
  Estimated profit target for the grid. Once reached, all positions are closed at market and the grid is rebuilt.
  Example: 10

    npm install 
    npm start

Honorable Mention

• @MBFC24
  Suggested a strategy using neutral delta with collateral in the native token. I’m considering integrating this with real-time funding rates to enable shorting — this will be implemented soon as the LOOP_HEDGE mode.

• @Coleta_Cripto
  Suggested a mode to simplify the process of earning Backpack’s Achievements. Coming soon!

• pordria
  Created a Backpack grid bot. This project is based on their logic.

• @owvituh - GitHub
  Forked my bot and added multi-account and multi-strategy support. I’ve taken several ideas from it for this version.

Coming Soon

1. LOOP_HEDGE Mode – Neutral delta with funding-based shorting
2. Achievements Mode – Automates collection of Backpack achievements
3. FRONT RUN Mode – Reacts to new token listings in real-time
