Sample alert template:

```json
{
"exchange": "gmx",
"strategy":"testStrategy",
"market":"BTC_USD",
"sizeUsd":"10000",
"reverse":false,
"order":"{{strategy.order.action}}",
"position":"{{strategy.market_position}}",
"price":"{{strategy.order.price}}"
}
```

By default, the tool uses native USDC(<https://arbiscan.io/token/0xaf88d065e77c8cc2239327c5edb3a432268e5831>) as collateral token.

If you want to use another token as collateral, specify token symbol(e.g. "BTC, "ETH", "LINK") in "collateral" field.

Also, collateral except for USDC can be only used to trade the same market. Let's say if you use BTC as collateral, you can trade only for BTC\_USD. (You can't ETH long/short with BTC collateral.

sample alert template:

```
{
"exchange": "gmx",
"strategy":"testStrategy",
"market":"BTC_USD",
"sizeUsd":"10000",
"reverse":false,
"order":"{{strategy.order.action}}",
"position":"{{strategy.market_position}}",
"price":"{{strategy.order.price}}",
"collateral": "BTC"
}
```
