Select Perpetual Futures and Trading Pair

  • Go to the top navigation bar and click "Futures", then choose the futures trading pair you want to trade to enter the trading page. 1

Funds Transfer

  • In Classic Account mode, click the "Transfer" button to move assets from the Spot Account to the Futures Account. 2

Choose Position Mode and Adjust Leverage

  • Select Cross or Isolated Margin mode.
  • In Cross Margin mode, all cross-margin trading pairs share the position margin. In Isolated Margin mode, each trading pair has a separate position. Set the leverage multiplier (1-125x). Higher leverage requires less margin but increases liquidation risk.

Select Order Type and Position Side

  • Choose Limit, Market, Conditional, or Advanced Limit to place an order.
  • A limit order is executed at your specified price and amount. A market order is quickly filled at the best market price. The conditional order and advanced limit order are executed when the trigger price is reached.
  • Enter the price and amount, determine the position side, and click "Buy (Long)" or "Sell (Short)" to place the order. 3

Close Position

  • Click "Positions" at the bottom of the page to view your position information, monitor the liquidation price, or set take-profit/stop-loss (TP/SL) conditions.
  • When the expected return is reached, select Market, Limit, or Close All to close the position.
