How to Rebalance Your Portfolio into USDT or BTC
Rebalancing your portfolio into either USDT or BTC is a simple, user-friendly process designed for speed and efficiency.
Step 1: Access the Rebalance Option
To begin:
- Navigate to the Dashboard or My Portfolio page within your 3Commas account.
- Scroll down to view your connected exchanges.
- Locate the exchange you want to rebalance and click the three-dot menu next to it.
From the dropdown, select either:
- Sell all to USD(T)
- Sell all to BTC
This triggers the automated sell process across all eligible assets in that exchange account.
Step 2: Confirm the Rebalancing Action
After selecting your preferred base asset (USDT or BTC), you’ll be shown a preview of the rebalancing details, including estimated proceeds and transaction scope.
Once you’ve reviewed the information:
- Click the Sell to USDT (or Sell to BTC) button to confirm.
- The system will automatically place sell orders for all tradable assets, converting them into your chosen asset.
Note: In some cases, you may see a “Partially finished” status. This typically occurs when certain tokens have insufficient trading volume or fall below minimum order thresholds, preventing full conversion. These minor holdings can be managed manually or held for future trades.
This entire workflow takes only minutes, giving you rapid control over your portfolio composition during critical market moments.
Customize Your Strategy with Auto Reallocate
While selling all assets to USDT or BTC offers a quick reset, some traders prefer a more strategic, long-term approach. That’s where custom portfolios and the Auto Reallocate feature come in.
With custom portfolio creation, you can:
- Define specific allocation percentages for different cryptocurrencies (e.g., 60% BTC, 20% ETH, 10% SOL, 10% USDT).
- Apply this allocation across one or more connected exchanges.
- Enable Auto Reallocate, which automatically adjusts your holdings at set intervals (daily, weekly, etc.) to maintain your target ratios.
This ensures your portfolio stays aligned with your investment goals—even as market prices fluctuate.

Why Use Auto Reallocate?
- Discipline without effort: Avoid emotional trading by automating rebalances.
- Dollar-cost averaging effect: Regular adjustments can smooth out entry and exit points.
- Risk mitigation: Prevent overexposure to any single asset after sharp price movements.
- Time savings: No need to manually track or adjust positions.
For example, if Bitcoin surges 20% in a week and now represents 75% of your portfolio instead of your intended 60%, Auto Reallocate will sell a portion of BTC and redistribute funds to underweight assets—restoring balance without any action on your part.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What happens if an asset can't be sold during rebalancing?
A: Some low-volume or illiquid tokens may not fully convert due to exchange minimums or lack of trading pairs. These will remain in your account as small residual balances. You can choose to hold, manually trade, or ignore them based on your strategy.
Q: Is there a fee for using the "Sell all to USDT/BTC" feature?
A: 3Commas does not charge additional fees for using the rebalancing tool. However, standard trading fees from your connected exchange still apply when executing sell orders.
Q: Can I reverse a rebalancing action once it’s completed?
A: Once assets are sold and converted, the action cannot be undone automatically. However, you can manually repurchase previous holdings or use a saved portfolio template to restore your original allocation.
Q: Does rebalancing work on leveraged or futures positions?
A: No. The current rebalancing feature only applies to spot accounts. Margin, futures, and leveraged positions are not included in the "Sell all" functions.
Q: How often should I rebalance my portfolio?
A: It depends on your risk tolerance and market conditions. Passive investors might rebalance quarterly or semi-annually, while active traders may do so weekly—or even daily during high volatility. Using Auto Reallocate allows you to set this frequency in advance.
Q: Will rebalancing trigger tax events?
A: Yes. Selling assets to USDT or BTC is considered a taxable event in many jurisdictions. Always consult with a tax professional to understand the implications based on your location and trading activity.
Final Thoughts: Stay Agile in Changing Markets
Crypto markets are inherently volatile, and rigid portfolios can quickly become misaligned with your goals. The ability to rebalance into USDT for stability or into BTC as a strong store of value gives traders flexibility and peace of mind.
Whether you opt for a full reset using “Sell all” commands or prefer ongoing optimization with Auto Reallocate, 3Commas provides the tools to keep your investments on track—automatically and efficiently.
