What is XT Smart Portfolio?
Smart Portfolio is a portfolio rebalancing strategy that helps users maintain target allocations across multiple cryptocurrencies. When market fluctuations cause allocations to drift from their targets, the system automatically adjusts holdings to restore balance—effectively implementing a “buy low, sell high” approach.
How It Works
The strategy continuously monitors your portfolio:
- If a coin‘s value rises above its target allocation, the system automatically sells the excess amount.
- If a coin's value falls below its target, the system automatically buys more to restore the balance.
This allows profits to accumulate during market volatility.
Strategy Logic
- Set Portfolio: Choose coins and assign target allocations (e.g., BTC 50%, ETH 50%).
- System Monitoring: Track actual vs. target allocations in real time.
- Trigger Rebalance: When deviations exceed thresholds, sell over-weighted coins and buy under-weighted coins.
- Restore Balance: After rebalancing, allocations return to target proportions.
- Continuous Loop: The strategy keeps running, repeatedly rebalancing as the market moves.
Best Use Cases
- Long-term holders: Believe in multiple coins’ long-term value and want optimized allocations in volatility.
- Diversified investors: Want to maintain fixed asset allocation ratios.
- Volatile markets: Frequent fluctuations can trigger multiple rebalances to capture profits.
Advantages
- Automatically implements “buy low, sell high” without manual intervention.
- Reduces risk through diversified allocations.
- Accumulates returns in volatile markets via repeated rebalancing.
- Encourages disciplined investing, avoiding emotional decisions.
Risk Reminder
In a market-wide downturn, all coins may lose value, resulting in losses. Use stop-loss settings and focus on coins you believe in the long term.

FAQs
Q: How is the minimum investment calculated?
A: It depends on the number of coins and the exchange’s minimum trade size. The system automatically calculates and displays the minimum investment to ensure each coin can be traded. Generally: Minimum investment ≥ (Quantity of coins × minimum trade per coin ÷ minimum allocation)
Q: Why hasn’t my Smart Portfolio rebalanced?
A: Possible reasons:
- Deviation hasn’t reached the threshold: One or more coins haven’t moved enough to trigger a rebalance.
- Scheduled rebalance hasn’t occurred yet: If you’re using Scheduled Rebalancing Mode, you’ll need to wait for the next scheduled interval.
- Order amount too small: The rebalance amount is below the exchange’s minimum trade size (usually 5 USDT), so the system can’t execute it.
Solution: Increase your investment or adjust the deviation threshold so that each rebalance meets the minimum trade requirement.
Q: When is Smart Portfolio best used?
A: Smart Portfolio is well suited for the following scenarios:
- Long-term holders: You believe in the long-term value of major cryptocurrencies such as BTC and ETH.
- Volatile or range-bound markets: Frequent price fluctuations allow the strategy to rebalance multiple times and capture incremental gains.
- Diversified investment needs: You want to maintain a stable asset allocation across multiple coins.
Q: How to reduce risk?
A: Consider the following risk management tips:
- Set reasonable stop-loss levels to limit losses during extreme market conditions.
- Focus on major, high-liquidity coins you believe in long term.
- Avoid allocating all your funds to a single strategy.
- Adjust target allocations as market conditions change.
Q: Which one is better: Proportional or Scheduled Rebalancing?
A: Both have advantages depending on your strategy and market conditions.
| Mode | Pros | Cons | Best For |
| Proportional | Responds quickly to market movements and captures rebalance opportunities in real time | May rebalance frequently during high volatility | Investors looking to actively capture gains from market fluctuations |
| Scheduled | Predictable rebalance frequency and easier fee planning | May miss optimal rebalance timing | Long-term, steady investors |
