    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


    Why does the trigger order fail due to price limit?

    Hello, trigger order may fail to be placed due to price limit, position limit, lack of margin, contracts in not-allowed-trading-status, network issues, system issues, etc.  Therefore, to avoid trigger order failure due to price limit mechanism, it’s highly suggested not to pre-set the trigger price too close to the limit price.


    Does contract account support cash withdrawals?

    Contract account does not support cash withdrawal currently. Wed like to suggest transferring assets via Exchange account.


    What is cross margin mode?

    Cross-margin mode is available in Huobi Futures: the same digital currency asset of your account will be used as margin of all the open positions of that digital currency.

    For example, if you open one position of BTC contracts, then all the BTC in your account will be the margin of that position, and if you open several positions of BTC contracts, then all the BTC in your account will be the margin shared by these open positions. The profits and losses of positions of one digital currency can be mutually offset.
     

    Why does the number of positions that I can open change with market price?

    Available Margin changes with the latest market price. And the formula is shown as below:

    Position margin =(Contract value *Number of position contracts)/Latest transaction price/leverage

    Number of position contracts = Position margin * Latest transaction price * leverage / Contract value
     

    Does Huobi Futures support Point Card deduction?

    Huobi Futures does not support Point Card deduction right now. Please note that we will issue an announcement if there are any updates on Point Card deduction.
