Markets
What you can trade on dYdX
dYdX v4 markets are USD-quoted and USDC-margined. Crypto makes up most of the catalog, while permissionless listings also add commodity, equity, and FX perpetuals. Available markets can change as new listings are added.
| Asset class | Examples | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Major perps | BTC, ETH, SOL, AVAX | Deepest liquidity, up to 50x |
| Altcoin perps | DOGE, LINK, and other altcoins | A long tail of markets |
| Commodity, equity & FX perps | WTI oil, gold, SPX, TSLA, EUR | Listed permissionlessly |
| Instant-listed perps | New markets, listed permissionlessly | Seeded by MegaVault liquidity |
What is different
A fully on-chain order book, run by every validator
dYdX v4 uses order-book execution rather than AMM pool pricing. Every validator runs the matching engine, providing a central limit order book with limit orders and on-chain settlement. Order placement and cancellation are gasless, which can suit strategies that maintain many orders. Coinner connects with trade-only API keys, so you keep custody while the bot trades.
Gasless orders
Placing and cancelling orders costs no gas, so a dense grid bot is not taxed per order.
MegaVault + instant listings
A protocol-owned liquidity vault seeds any permissionlessly listed market, so the long tail of perps stays tradable.
Equity-tier order budget
Open-order limits scale with account equity, so adding collateral unlocks denser grids and more concurrent bots.
Fees
dYdX trading fees
dYdX charges maker/taker fees that scale down with your 30-day volume, from a base tier of 0.05% taker and 0.01% maker. Open your dYdX account through Coinner's referral link and you start at Tier 3 fees, 0.04% taker and 0.005% maker, with no volume requirement. Order placement and cancellation are gasless, so you only pay on filled orders.

What is the max leverage on dYdX?

No subscription. Coinner earns a small share of exchange trading fees through builder-code programs when you trade.
Which bots work on dYdX?
Grid, DCA, Copy, and TradingView bots are all supported on dYdX v4. The market maker bot needs post-only orders and a dead man's switch, so it runs on Arcus and Aster only.
Does dYdX limit how many orders my bot can place?
Yes. dYdX v4 caps open long-term orders by account equity. For example, current documentation shows one open order at 20 USDC of equity and 10 at 100 USDC; limits increase at higher tiers and can change through governance. Bots on the same account share the available order budget. Coinner also requires at least a $100 balance for Grid Bots and a $10 minimum per-order size.
Risk
Trade responsibly
- Trading bots execute the rules you configure; they do not guarantee returns or prevent losses.
- Perpetuals and leverage can amplify losses and may result in liquidation.
- Leaderboard rankings and past trader performance do not predict future results. Read Coinner's full risk disclaimer.
