During this period, slippage may increase, index prices may pause, and orders, including TP/SL orders, may not be filled. Consider reducing order size or splitting orders. Maximum leverage for some pairs may be temporarily lowered for new orders only. Price gaps or sharp volatility may occur when regular trading resumes.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-KQOCdisTioURqPxQYXNuXIbfs4d"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-G1LtdqSQ8oRe7gxRJCqud4ddsKg"><span style="font-size: 16px;">4) <strong>Special Corporate Events: </strong>During events such as ex-rights issues, stock splits, or reverse stock splits, the platform may apply early settlement or position adjustments based on market conditions.

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.

Each serves a different purpose in pricing, risk control, and trade execution. This article explains the definitions, calculation logic, and practical usage of these three prices.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusxmnmvyhch5fSGfLpmawSif"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-GuCbdo3LjoVfNsxS2M3unwJ4ss3"><strong>1.

When there is a small difference between the two, unrealized gains or losses may appear immediately.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus0niBnLWRNPtAor73Q9J4Ka"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-R23WdGun3orjeYxGYESusQOBssc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">This does not mean you have actually lost funds. It is normal Futures trading behavior caused by different pricing references. Traders should focus on the liquidation price based on the fair price, not solely on last price fluctuations.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusy4DwC1iex71Eft6ga4SH9b"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-AtKsdF33CobQqNxZd51uwIOgs7e"><strong>7.

This design protects traders from brief abnormal price spikes. Even if the last price on the chart momentarily touches the liquidation level, the position will not be liquidated as long as the fair price remains within a safe range. Therefore, traders should always monitor the distance between the fair price and the liquidation price.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusqoMZ5QE9NyZ89YYUxXKHth"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-Yq9NdZGSpoNpjGx0lP4uucEUs5g"><strong>8.
