SuperEx Guide: How to Opening Long/Short Positions

Futures trading refers to an agreement between buyers and sellers to trade a specific asset at a predetermined price and quantity at a future date, aiming for profit. Futures trading includes delivery futures and perpetual futures. Investors can go long by buying a futures contract to profit from an asset’s price increase or go short by selling a futures contract to profit from a price decrease.

Choose based on market conditions:

  • Margin Mode: Cross Margin, Sub-Account Margin, Isolated Margin.
  • Order Type: Market Order, Limit Order, TP/SL Limit, TP/SL Market.
  • Leverage: Choose the leverage multiplier.
  • Quantity: Enter the amount to trade.
  • Go long (Buy/Long) if you expect prices to rise.
  • Go short (Sell/Short) if you expect prices to fall.

Once you fill in the order details, confirm your trade for Buy/Long or Sell/Short.

Your active orders can be viewed in the Positions tab. When your profit target is met, you can close the position.

  • Margin mode settings apply to all futures contracts.
  • If the margin ratio ≤ 0%, your position will be liquidated.
  • Cross Margin: All cross positions with the same asset share the margin. In liquidation, the trader may lose all margin and positions under that asset.
  • Isolated Margin: A fixed margin amount is allocated to a position. If the margin ratio ≤ 0%, the position is liquidated. You can manually add or reduce margin.
