Binance Japan Trading Bots Terms

English follows Japanese*

*English version is a referential translation of the original Japanese version of the Binance Japan Trading BOT Terms. In the case of discrepancy between the English version and the original Japanese version of the Binance Japan Trading BOT Terms, the original Japanese version shall prevail. 

These terms ("Trading Bots Terms") apply to the use of any trading tools available through the Binance Japan Platform which enable Users to place orders for the execution of spot transactions by way of a pre-determined execution methodology (such trading tools "Trading Bots" (alternatively referred to within the Platform as "Strategy Trading" tools)). The Trading Bots that Binance Japan may make available to Users include (but shall not be limited to): Spot Grid Trading, Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) and Volume-Weighted Average Price (VP) algorithmic trading tools.

These Trading Bots Terms form part of, and shall be read together with, each of the Binance Japan Terms of Use, the Binance Japan Spot Trading Terms of Use and the Binance Japan (the "Service Agreements"). Capitalised terms used herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Service Agreements, as the context requires.

General disclaimer

In offering Trading Bots to User, Binance Japan is not providing any investment advice or recommending any particular Trading Bot, trading strategy and/or trading parameter as appropriate and/or suitable for User. User shall be solely responsible for determining whether or not to make use of any Trading Bots and for selecting an appropriate feature, trading strategy and/or parameters in light of their investment objectives, risk tolerance, financial situation and needs. Binance Japan makes no representation or warranty as to the outcome of the use of any Trading Bot and will not be liable to User for any loss that might arise from or in connection with their use of any Trading Bot.

Spot Grid Trading

User may be permitted to create spot grid trading strategies through the Binance Japan Platform, so as to enable transactions in spot products to be executed automatically by way of algorithm, based on certain parameters as selected by the User (each, a "Grid Trading Strategy"). User acknowledges that the parameters selected will dictate the operation of the applicable Grid Trading Strategy and that User shall be entirely responsible for determining and confirming any parameters selected and/or any applicable execution methodology to be applied to any Grid Trading Strategy, regardless of whether such parameters and/or execution methodology are suggested or pre-populated on the Platform, replicated from an existing Grid Trading Strategy created by another User, or independently populated by User themselves.

User shall be responsible for ensuring that any Grid Trading Strategy selected or otherwise created is appropriate for User in light of their own investment objectives and will be consistent with any limitations or conditions that may apply to User's with respect to the execution of any transaction. Use of any Grid Trading Strategy is at User's own discretion and Binance Japan does not determine the suitability of any Grid Trading Strategy or parameter for User or make any representation or warranty that any Grid Trading Strategy will be profitable. Any risk associated with a Grid Trading Strategy resides solely with User, not Binance Japan.

User further acknowledges that the past performance of any Grid Trading Strategy is not indicative of future results and that the future performance of any Grid Trading Strategy may not be profitable or equal to past performances.

Furthermore, User acknowledges that Binance Japan employs multiple risk mitigation strategies, including manual and automated circuit breakers, as well as kill-switch controls. These features can activate in the event of regulatory restrictions, market disruption, and/or systems failure, potentially canceling any Grid Trading Strategy in place. Binance Japan shall not be liable to User in respect of any losses incurred in connection with the cancellation of any Grid Trading Strategy  in the absence of any wilful misconduct or negligence on our part..

Given the associated risks, Users shall be responsible for ensuring that they fully understand the risks of any Grid Trading Strategy and for conducting thorough due diligence to ensure that this feature is suitable for them.

Transactions entered into via a Grid Trading Strategy may incur trading fees. User should consider the impact of trading fees on the performance of the relevant strategy before deciding to use/create any Grid Trading Strategy.

Time-Weighted Average Price Algorithm (TWAP) and Volume-Weighted Average Price Algorithm (VP)

Users may be permitted to submit orders for certain transactions based on the use of a Time-Weighted Average Price Algorithm (TWAP) and/or Volume-Weighted Average Price Algorithm (VP) (together, "TWAP and/or VP Orders").

The risks associated with any TWAP and/or VP Order reside with User, not Binance Japan. In particular, User shall be responsible for setting all relevant parameters of any TWAP and/or VP Order.

User acknowledges that Binance Japan does not guarantee the full execution of any TWAP and/or VP Order and that the execution of any TWAP and/or VP Order is based on factors outside of Binance Japan’s control. For example, if the market price of the relevant Digital Asset(s) referenced by any TWAP and/or VP Order moves considerably or liquidity is insufficient during the execution of a TWAP and/or VP Order, the algorithm may not achieve full completion. Further, if the market becomes distressed, the algorithm may fail to complete the TWAP and/or VP Order before the specified end time. Thus, execution of any TWAP and/or VP Order is and will always be liquidity-dependent with no guarantee for best price execution or execution of the order in full.

User acknowledges that Binance Japan employs multiple risk mitigation strategies, including manual and automated circuit breakers, as well as kill-switch controls. These features can activate in the event of market disruption and/or systems failure, potentially canceling any TWAP and/or VP Order early before the order has been fully filled. Binance Japan shall not be liable for any loss incurred by User due to the cancellation or failure to execute a TWAP and/or VP Order, whether partially or fully  in the absence of any wilful misconduct or negligence on our part.

No representation is being made or implied that submitting any TWAP and/or VP Order will guarantee a better overall execution price than one or more regular market orders. User is responsible for ensuring that User fully understands the risks associated with any TWAP and/or VP Order execution and for conducting thorough due diligence to ensure that this feature is suitable for them.

Spot DCA

Users can use the Spot DCA strategy to place orders in accordance with pre-set parameters. These parameters set by the user dictate the operation of the Spot DCA strategy. Any parameter selection and investment decision will, in all cases, be made solely by the user.

Binance Japan does not determine the suitability of the Spot DCA strategy or any Spot DCA strategy parameter and makes no representation or warranty that the Spot DCA strategy will be profitable. Any default parameter settings are not recommendations for the relevant parameter and are provided for convenience only. Any risk associated with the Spot DCA strategy resides with the user, not Binance Japan.

When deciding to use a Spot DCA and setting relevant parameters, users should consider that it is not guaranteed that the price of the relevant asset will reach the “exit signal” (i.e. the price that will trigger execution of the take-profit order) within a particular time frame or at all. Users must be comfortable with the risk that they could be entering a position that permanently remains loss-making (including total loss) or only becomes profitable after an extended holding period.

Transactions entered into via the Spot DCA may incur trading fees. You should consider the impact of trading fees on the performance of the relevant strategy before deciding to use the Spot DCA and setting any relevant parameters.

Trading Bots Account and Trading Bots Orders

Binance Japan may create a separate account for orders submitted by User through the use of certain Trading Bots (each such account, a "Trading Bots Account"), in order to differentiate the resulting transactions from standard spot transactions entered into by User through the Binance Japan Platform other than through the use of such Trading Bots (which transactions will be recorded against User's standard Spot Account (as applicable)). If a Trading Bots Account is set up for User, this will be set up automatically upon the entry by User into a Grid Trading Strategy or transaction (as applicable) pursuant to the use of the relevant Trading Bots, and details of such Trading Bots Account will be visible to User within the Binance Japan Platform.

It is the responsibility of User to monitor each Trading Bots Account set up on its behalf and to ensure that sufficient Digital Assets are allocated to each Trading Bots Account to satisfy any payments due with respect to transactions recorded against such account (including, without limitation, payment of applicable fees and Margin Requirements with respect to the relevant transactions) User should monitor any Margin Calls and/or Liquidation notices sent by Binance Japan with respect to its activity on the Platform to ensure that User understands which Account such Margin Calls and/or Liquidation notices relate to. Unless otherwise permitted by Binance Japan, Digital Assets allocated to a User’s standard Spot Account will not be applied to satisfy Margin Calls or other payments due with respect to transactions recorded against a Trading Bots Account.

Digital Asset Risks

Digital Asset prices are subject to high market risk and price volatility. Prices can fluctuate significantly on any given day. Due to these price fluctuations, your holdings may significantly increase or decrease in value at any given moment and you may not get back the amount you originally invested.

Therefore, User should not trade or invest money they cannot afford to lose. It is crucial that User fully understands the risks involved before deciding to utilize any Trading Bots in light of their own financial resources, level of experience, and risk appetite. If required, User should seek advice from an independent financial advisor. The actual returns and losses experienced by will vary depending on many factors, including, but not limited to, market behavior, market movement, and trade size. Past performance is not a guide to future performance. The value of your investments may go up or down. Binance Japan does not provide financial or investment advice.
