FAQ on Auto-Deleveraging (ADL)
<div data-page-id="JvsqdVGOpoKgz4xNegkuJcdysIf" data-lark-html-role="root" data-docx-has-block-data="true"><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxusZeUDPL9F3pcCznjbgnDlwc"><strong>1.

When the market experiences extreme volatility, or when force majeure events cause the platform's risk reserve to become insufficient or decline rapidly, the system will trigger the ADL mechanism to control overall risk.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-R4KbdOZsCokMjMxddjluymbRsWf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-M8FrdWcKZoG6H1xNVI0uL3vsshg"><span style="font-size: 16px;">At its core, ADL is a counterparty position reduction mechanism. Based on traders' leverage levels and profit performance, the system ranks positions according to predefined rules and prioritizes accounts with higher leverage and higher profits for automatic position reduction. This helps ensure overall fund security and market stability on the platform.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusibu7CGiHW1gHY6foKCrRYf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-TLWVd5vYmo9abQxlpgGuL7WEs9e"><strong>2.

The system first calculates a PNL ranking based on profit performance and effective leverage (PNL refers to profit and loss). Traders with more aggressive strategies and higher profits are ranked higher and are more likely to be selected by the ADL mechanism.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusFrATS4KEe0J2gIklpjmQkg"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-A5nkdkv7FoPGbyxSfqnuuiAfsee"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Once ADL is triggered, the system automatically identifies counterparty accounts with higher PNL rankings and executes direct trades with them at the bankruptcy price, thereby completing the automatic deleveraging process. This process is fully automated and does not require any manual intervention.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusZFn3vbUVYignWiwGeuwsfb"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-Cx02dlEmwoCE96x4sRKuN7Mxste"><strong>3.

Time in Force (TIF) for Futures Trading: A Complete Guide
<div data-page-id="Fw5rdbnwQoBSe0xHvs1udT3Dslc" data-lark-html-role="root" data-docx-has-block-data="true"><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxuszSFbTFIg1E0FF33KDsNQSb"><span style="font-size: 16px;">In cryptocurrency futures trading, some users may encounter situations where an order is automatically canceled after being placed. In most cases, this is related to Time in Force (TIF) settings. This guide provides a comprehensive explanation of Time in Force in Futures trading, helping you understand how different TIF options work and how to use them effectively to improve execution efficiency.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusfA85bHjp9eauq9GgTW1L1c"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-GkCtd6KngoGKjnxb68yuSMJQsUD"><strong>1.

Simply put, it determines how long your order can remain "active" in the order book.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusxD8ZzLeOZClvfe8k0J3jSe"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusYvksp2dxtI2EUnehSrSY5g"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Understanding TIF is essential because choosing the right setting can significantly improve order execution, help you avoid missing ideal entry opportunities, and better manage risk exposure by preventing orders from being triggered unexpectedly during periods of high market volatility.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-SgZidL6QpogJMlxvS9Uu9ikUst7"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-XPCSdJWlzoTvx0x5U0dutw50sqh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">On the MEXC Futures trading platform, there are six order types available: limit, market, chase limit, trigger, trailing stop, and post only orders.

The system will not cancel the order due to time constraints. This option is suitable for traders who are not in a rush to enter a position and are willing to wait for their target price. It is commonly used in swing trading strategies or passive order placement.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxuskkOz226Lof23lQOBcbF1ic"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-LQ12dA8CEoP2vnx25rcublSDsEc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Example: If the current BTC price is 100,000 USDT and you believe 90,000 USDT is an ideal entry price, you can place a GTC limit buy order at 90,000 USDT.

If the order is only partially filled, the remaining portion is automatically converted into a limit order at the average execution price and placed in the order book.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus9no5PuH79W7BfeNog9bPec"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-FzMidsVgeoexj3x5NfsutKnksMh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Example: If the BTC market price is $91,000 and you place an MTL order for 10 cont. of BTCUSD, the system may immediately fill 7 cont. at market price. The remaining 3 cont. will then be placed as a limit order at $91,000, waiting for further execution.

Users can freely adjust leverage based on market conditions and according to their own risk tolerance. Beginners are advised to start with low leverage and gradually increase it after gaining experience. It's always important to recognize that leverage amplifies both profits and risks. For example, using 100 USDT as margin with 10x leverage gives exposure to a 1,000 USDT position. If the market rises by 5%, the profit is 50 USDT, but a 5% decline results in the same amount of loss. Choosing leverage wisely is therefore a key part of risk management.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-CLsgdrhMjoQ1tVxjmw3uWc1VsLd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-JjcDdyPHQov1PgxRodPu9CDDs8d"><strong>5.
