# ⬆️ Reverse Direction

### Case 1: Source Wallet Decrease with Increase Requirement

#### *Scenario:* When the source wallet decreases a position, but our system would require us to increase our position.

*Explanation:* The source wallet decreases their position. However, based on current settings, our follower wallet would need to make an increase to follow properly. 

Since we don't want to increase our position when the source wallet is decreasing, this operation is automatically skipped. 

This prevents counter-intuitive trading where we would increase exposure while the source wallet is reducing theirs.

### Case 2: Coin Price Fluctuation Effects

#### *Scenario:* When coin price changes affect the margin requirements between operations.

*Explanation:* Due to coin price fluctuations, our system determines that we need to increase our position despite the source wallet making a decrease. 

The price change has created a situation where an increase would be necessary to maintain the proper copy relationship. 

Since the source wallet is decreasing and we don't want to increase in this scenario, the operation is skipped. 

This prevents position increases that go against the directional movement of the source wallet.

### Case 3: Source Wallet Perpetual Equity Changes

#### *Scenario:* When the source wallet's perpetual equity changes.

*Explanation:* The source wallet's perpetual equity has changed (due to funding rates, fees, etc.), and they are decreasing their position. 

Based on this equity change, our system calculates that we would need to increase our position. 

Since the source wallet is decreasing and we don't want to increase when they decrease, this operation is skipped. 

This maintains the principle of not increasing our exposure when the source wallet is reducing theirs.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.dextrabot.com/copy-trade/copytrade/reverse-direction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
