Orders in CANCEL_ONLY and POST_ONLY modes must be within ±5 bps of the External Fair Price. Orders outside this band are automatically canceled.

Example

Buy$100,050Price ≤ $100,050Price > $100,050
Sell$99,950Price ≥ $99,950Price < $99,950

How the External Fair Price Is Calculated

External Fair Price=Spot Oracle Price×(1+External Basis Rate)\text{External Fair Price} = \text{Spot Oracle Price} \times (1 + \text{External Basis Rate})External Fair Price=Spot Oracle Price×(1+External Basis Rate)

External Basis Rate=median⁡(Binance, OKX, Bybit, Hyperliquid, Paradex∗)\text{External Basis Rate} = \operatorname{median}(\text{Binance},\ \text{OKX},\ \text{Bybit},\ \text{Hyperliquid},\ \text{Paradex}^*)External Basis Rate=median(Binance, OKX, Bybit, Hyperliquid, Paradex∗)

* Paradex Basis is calculated as an EMA with a 1h half-life.
