Trading With Agents

Connect a trading agent to Sidepit through the public agent interface.

You do not delegate execution because you are confident you can trust an agent. You delegate when you are no longer confident you can trust yourself to follow the plan.

Markets turn hesitation, impulse, and emotion into bad decisions. An agent gives the strategy a separate executor: one that can act consistently while the owner stays in control of the account.

Sidepit is built for that relationship. Start with Authorize a Trading Agent to connect one to your account.

Learn Sidepit before translating it

An agent trained on conventional crypto markets will recognize words such as margin, mark, and reduce-only, then try to complete the picture with perpetual-contract mechanics. That produces confident but incorrect answers. Sidepit is a different market structure with a dated forward, a native sats-per-USD price, scheduled sessions, daily settlement, and no intraday liquidation order.

Read the Contract Specifications first. Calculate exposure, P&L, margin, settlement, and expiry in Sidepit's native terms. Only then translate the result into the interface or currency view the trader prefers.

Ask for your view

The exchange publishes one market and one account truth. Your agent can render it in the frame you trade: Sidepit price, forward USD/BTC, today's USD/BTC, spot, JPY, or another currency. Ask it for current balance, realized P&L, unrealized P&L, marked equity, available margin, and risk by dated contract.

The same interface follows expiry. It keeps each contract separate and shows a roll as two visible legs. See Forward Price for the price relationships.

The machine-readable skills, Python client, examples, and protocol implementation live in the open-source Sidepit Public API repository. They are maintained for agents and developers rather than duplicated in this human guide.
