A Binance Futures bot doesn’t need more signals first. It needs better reconnect handling.
I found this in the logs last week: websocket dropped for 27 seconds, the bot rebuilt late, then placed 2 duplicate orders because position state was stale.
That’s not a strategy problem.
That’s an execution problem.
Binance application:
If your bot trades Futures, it should rebuild state directly from Binance after every reconnect before it sends a new order.
Rule:
Signal state, order state, and position state must be separated.
Kill-switch:
If position cannot be verified after reconnect, pause trading, cancel stale pending orders, and send an alert.
My minimum reconnect checklist:
1. fetch current position
2. fetch open orders
3. check last fill
4. block new entries
5. rebuild local state
6. resume only after verification
It’s not glamorous, but it works.
Most builders optimize entries. I’d rather fix the part that stops one bad bot state from becoming account damage.
Do you test reconnects before live size?
