How dYdX Gives You Traffic Lights in a City of Chaos: A Story About Trading with Control

understanding how advanced order types on dYdX can level up their trading game.

Tobi is your everyday crypto trader in Lagos. Wakes up, checks Twitter, sees some new coin trending, boom, he enters with a market order.

Sometimes he wins.
Sometimes he loses.
But mostly? He just feels like he's gambling, not trading.

Until one day, he hears about something different, something called "advanced order types" on dYdX.

He’s curious. Because he’s tired of buying tops and selling bottoms.

And that’s where the game changes.

What Are Advanced Order Types (in Simple Terms)?

Let’s pause and explain:
In crypto trading, most people just buy or sell when they feel like it.

But real traders, the ones who treat it like a business, use tools to protect themselves.

Think of it like driving a car.

Would you drive a car without brakes?
Without side mirrors?
Without indicators?

Advanced order types are like the brakes, mirrors, and steering for your trades.

And dYdX gives you all of them. Let’s walk through each one

X. Reduce-Only Orders: “Only Remove, Don’t Add”

Tobi once tried to close a position, but instead of selling to reduce, he accidentally opened another position in the opposite direction. Chaos.

With reduce-only, this will never happen.

✅ It only reduces your position.
❌ It won’t accidentally flip your trade.

Think of it like this:
You tell your younger sibling, “Only remove ₦2,000 from this envelope, never add more or take extra.” It’s locked to do only what you say.

X. TWAP Orders: “Small Chops Over Time”

Tobi wants to buy $XXXXX worth of ETH. But he knows if he buys all at once, it might push the price up.

With TWAP (Time-Weighted Average Price), he tells dYdX:

“Buy $XXX every XX minutes for the next hour.”

This way, he doesn’t shake the market.

It’s like buying fuel in X different stations so no one knows you’re buying in bulk.
Cheaper, safer, and no slippage.

X. Grid Orders: “Make Money While Price Bounces”

Tobi notices BTC keeps bouncing between $28K and $30K. Instead of waiting to catch a pump, he uses grid orders.

He sets:

Buy at $28K, $27.5K

Sell at $29K, $30K

So even when the price doesn’t go anywhere big, he makes small profits consistently.

This is like owning different market stalls: some make money in the morning, others at night. But overall, you eat steady.

X. Scale Orders: “Spread Your Risks, Not Your Regret”

Tobi wants to buy $XXXXX worth of SOL, but he thinks the price might dip first.

Instead of aping in at $100, he sets:

$XXX at $XX

Now, if SOL dips, he gets in cheaper.

It’s like buying suya from X different vendors, one gives you more spice, one gives better meat, one gives good price. You enjoy all.

Why dYdX Is the Best Place to Use These Tools

Now, here’s where things get serious.

dYdX is not just another DeFi platform. It’s designed for real traders who want:

🚀 Speed like a CEX
🔐 Control like a bot
🌍 Freedom like DeFi

And they give you these order types for free.
You don’t need to be a whale or have a $10K portfolio to trade like a pro.

Even with $50, you can trade like Tobi.

Fast forward X months.

Tobi now trades with strategy, not stress.
He sets reduce-only stops.
He scales into trades.
He grids sideways markets.
He TWAPs big entries.

He doesn’t panic anymore.
He doesn’t guess anymore.

He trades with peace, because now he has tools that work for him, not against him.

Reduce-Only: No more accidental flips

TWAP: Spread your buys over time, avoid slippage

Grid: Make money while the market chops

Scale: Enter smarter, not faster

dYdX gives you all this, without needing to be rich or technical.

If Tobi can do it, so can you
