A bot automatically shorting x1.00 with whole account when all positions are closed. The shorted instrument is XBT month future, because it has no funding which you would have to pay few times a day on other instruments.

Shorting with leverage x1.00 freezes your money because such position is literally like borrowing (you owe) N units of XBT then selling it instantly. You could say that you are N XBT long and N XBT short so this is fully hedged position.

1. Run bundle install
2. Copy .env.example to .env and fill your Bitmex api key and secret

If you are using pending entry order run with following flag:

ruby main.rb --pending-entry-present

It will make the script wait for entry then start looking for close
