Order Entry & Margin Overview

The order entry field is where you input your order details. The process is straightforward on our platform. Firstly, you can choose your margin type, which will be initially available only in the cross-margin mode.

On the right, you select your leverage amount, and then below your position size. Additionally, you can tick the small TP/SL box to set your desired triggers.

  • If you choose the limit order, you'll also need to enter the limit price at which you wish to either go long or short the asset.

At the bottom, you'll find crucial information about your account's margin, including your margin mode, initial margin (IM), maintenance margin (MM), and your account balances.

  • IM: This is the amount you need to deposit to start a trade.

  • MM: If your account falls below the specified maintenance margin level in futures trading, you'll receive a “margin call”. This indicates that you must promptly deposit enough funds to restore your account to the initial margin level. Failure to do so may result in the closure of your position.
