Before you start trading futures, transfer funds to your Futures Account first. Once the transfer is complete, you can start trading.

👉 How to Transfer Funds

   

The following guide uses Perpetual Futures as an example to walk you through the basic futures trading process.

   

   

1. Open the Futures Trading Page and Place Your Order

    

To access the trading page:

   

Web: Go to Futures → Perpetual Futures from the navigation bar

     

  

App: Tap Futures at the bottom of the home screen

   

   

Follow these steps to place an order:

  • In section “1”, select the futures trading pair you want to trade
  • In section “2”, choose the trading mode and set the leverage
  • In section “3”, select the order type and enter the order quantity, then click Open Long or Open Short to place the order

After completing the above steps, the system will automatically display details such as the required margin and estimated liquidation price.

   

  

   

2. View Positions and Open Orders

    

Once the order is placed, you can view your current positions and open orders at the bottom of the trading page.

  

  

   

3. Set TP/SL

    

To set Take Profit or Stop Loss, tap the TP/SL button on the right side of the position panel.

You can configure TP/SL conditions based on the trigger price or profit ratio. Once your preset conditions are met, the system will automatically place a closing order.

    

  

   

4. Close Positions

  

You can close your positions in full or partially.

  

One-Click Close

Click One-Click Close to close all current positions at the market price.

   

  

   

Partial Close

Click Close Position to partially close a position using either a market or limit order.

   

   

    

By following the steps above, you can complete a basic futures trade. Before getting started, make sure you understand the trading rules, leverage mechanisms, and related risks. Always manage your positions according to your own risk tolerance.
