1. Deposit Funds to Futures Pro Account (Transfer)

2. Cross Margin Trading Mode

 

1. Go to Futures > USDT-M Perpetual Futures (Pro), and select the desired futures pair.

 

2. In Cross Margin mode, set your leverage, choose Cross mode, and adjust the leverage according to your risk tolerance and strategy.

 

3. Set the margin amount.

 

4. Open a position. Based on your predictions, go long (buy) if you expect the price to rise, or short (sell) if you expect it to fall. You can place orders using Limit or Market orders.

Advantages of Cross Margin:

• Shared margin across all positions reduces liquidation risk during market volatility.

• Enhances capital efficiency and lowers the need for margin top-ups.

• Losses in one position can be offset by profits in another, effectively managing overall risk.

3. Isolated Margin Trading Mode

 

Select Isolated margin mode, adjust the leverage, set the margin, and open a position based on your market predictions.

 

Advantages of Isolated Margin:

• Losses are limited to the margin of the specific isolated position and do not affect other positions.

• Traders have better control over each position.

• Allows allocation of specific margin amounts per position based on individual risk preferences.

 

For more information, please refer to Margin Calculation Rules.

 

4. One-Way & Hedge Mode 

 

Whether using Cross or Isolated margin, traders can choose between One-Way Mode and Hedge Mode. The default position mode is Hedge Mode.

 

To switch between position modes, go to the top-right and tap the trade settings icon.

 

Hedge Mode:

• Allows traders to hold both long and short positions in the same contract simultaneously.

• Suitable for traders who are long-term bullish but short-term bearish on an asset.

• Enables quick shorting without affecting existing long positions.

 

One-Way Mode:

• Traders hold only one directional position (either long or short) per contract.

• Opposite positions offset each other, simplifying management and merging exposure.
