Bot Not Executing
If a strategy is configured but the bot is not opening or closing positions as expected, work through the following checklist in order.
Checklist
Section titled “Checklist”1. API key missing trading permission
Section titled “1. API key missing trading permission”Check: Go to your exchange account’s API key settings and verify the key has Futures Trading (or Derivatives Trading) permission enabled.
Remedy:
- Create a new API key with the correct permissions using the guides in API Keys
- Remove the existing execution wallet in Dashboard > Futures Wallets
- Re-add it with the new API key credentials
2. No active LP position in the current price range
Section titled “2. No active LP position in the current price range”Check: In Dashboard > Pools View, verify that your LP position is in-range (current price is between the lower and upper bounds). An out-of-range LP position will not trigger hedge activity.
Remedy:
- Wait for the price to re-enter your LP range, or adjust your LP position on the relevant DEX to re-center around the current price.
- Review Range Bounds for guidance on range selection.
3. Strategy paused by user
Section titled “3. Strategy paused by user”Check: In Dashboard > Pools View, check whether the strategy shows a Paused state.
Remedy:
- Use the strategy controls in the dashboard to unpause the strategy.
4. Exchange API temporarily unavailable
Section titled “4. Exchange API temporarily unavailable”Check: Verify the exchange is operational by checking its status page.
Remedy:
- Wait for the exchange to recover. Aegis will retry automatically.
- See Exchange Downtime for full details.
If none of the above steps resolve the issue, review the activity log in Dashboard > Analytics for recent error events and contact Aegis support with the relevant details.
