How to Place a Binance Alpha Reverse Order (One‑Trigger‑One)

In this article we systematically explain the concept of a reverse order on Binance Alpha, the OTO (One‑Trigger‑One) activation mechanism, and the method for calculating the order quantity. We also provide a complete step‑by‑step guide for placing such orders, helping traders get started quickly while reducing the risk associated with manual operations. Please continue reading for the full details.

What is a reverse order on Binance Alpha?

A reverse order on Binance Alpha is a OTO (One‑Trigger‑One) strategy: after the primary order is fully filled, the system automatically creates a secondary limit order in the opposite direction, using the price that the user has pre‑specified.

The reverse order belongs to the “one order triggers another order” (OTO) family. Traders submit a primary order; once that order is completely executed, the platform automatically generates a secondary order. This mechanism enables automated hedging, reduces the need for manual intervention, and saves time.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is a reverse order?

A reverse order is a conditional order type. After the primary order (Order A) is executed, the system automatically creates a secondary order (Order B) in the opposite direction, enabling an automatic sell after a buy or an automatic buy after a sell.

2. What is the difference between the primary order (Order A) and the secondary order (Order B)?

• Order A (primary): The first limit buy or sell order submitted by the user.
• Order B (secondary): A reverse‑direction limit order that the system generates once Order A is fully filled, using the price the user specified for the secondary order.

3. Which order types are supported?

Both the primary and secondary orders are currently limited to limit orders. Market orders are not supported for this OTO mechanism.

4. How is the direction of the secondary order determined?

• If the primary order is a limit buy, the secondary order becomes a limit sell.
• If the primary order is a limit sell, the secondary order becomes a limit buy.

5. How is the quantity of the secondary order calculated?

• Limit Buy primary: Secondary quantity = the exact amount of the asset received from the primary order.
• Limit Sell primary: Secondary quantity = total proceeds of the primary order ÷ the price set for the secondary order.

6. Does a partially filled primary order trigger the secondary order?

The secondary order is only generated after the primary order is completely filled. Partial fills or unfilled orders do not trigger the secondary order.

7. How do I set the price for the secondary order?

When you submit a reverse order, you must manually enter the desired price for the secondary order. The system will place the secondary limit order at that exact price.

8. Can a reverse order be cancelled?

• If the primary order has not yet been filled, you can cancel the entire reverse order at any time.
• Once the primary order is filled and the secondary order is created, the secondary order behaves like a regular limit order and can be cancelled independently.

9. What are common reasons a reverse order might fail?

• The primary order never fills or only partially fills → no secondary order is created.
• The secondary order’s price is set too far from the current market, making execution unlikely.
• After deducting fees, the remaining amount falls below the platform’s minimum order size, causing the order to be rejected.

10. How does a reverse order differ from a standard limit order?

A standard limit order requires the trader to manually place both the initial order and its corresponding opposite order. A reverse order automates the creation of the opposite order once the first one is fully executed, which is useful for traders who need fast, automated hedging.
