Managing your Crypto Futures trading account

Account balances

By default the Account balances section displays your Equity and Free Margin levels:

  • Equity - reflects Balance + Unrealized P/L (from all open positions)

  • Free Margin - free margin that you can use to open new trades

  • Balance - your trading account balance

  • Reward - available bonus amount for trading

  • Unrealized P/L - combined Profit/Loss from all open positions

  • Used Margin - the total amount of margin currently reserved for all open positions and pending orders

  • Isolated Margin - amount of margin you're using for isolated positions

  • Maintenance Margin - minimum amount of margin reserved on your trading account to maintain pending orders and open positions

  • Margin Ratio Cross - amount of margin that is currently reserved for all open positions

You can click the 3 dotted button to review all balances and select the indicator you want to display.

You're able to select only 2 balance indicators for your trading account at once.

Deposit menu

The Deposit menu allows you to deposit funds directly from your account Wallet to your Crypto Futures trading accounts.

This menu also allows you to access the Deposit page to make a new deposit to your PrimeXBT account.

The deposited funds can be transferred directly to your Crypto Futures trading account.

Trading modes

You can change the trading mode of your account by accessing the Trading mode menu next to the Deposit menu.

Available trade modes:

  • Regular trade mode - with this trade mode you'll receive confirmation prompts for all trading actions you perform in the account.

  • One-click trade mode - this trading mode allows you to control orders and positions with one-click. Orders and positions are sent, cancelled or closed immediately without additional confirmation prompts.

One-click trade mode sets the 'Market' order as your default order type. Protection orders - Stop Loss and Take Profit, will not be attached to your new orders. The order quantity will be preselected automatically by the Place Order section.

Make sure to exercise caution when using the One-click trade mode to avoid placing undesired orders and positions.

Additionally you can use the same menu to access our special platform tutorial, educational materials, or contact the Support team.

Position modes

You can pre-select the Position mode of your trades by clicking the pencil icon next to the 'Netting/Hedge mode' menu in the upper-right corner of the Summary section.

Available position modes:

  • Netting mode - with this mode you can open only long (buy) or short (sell) positions with the asset you've selected.

  • Hedge mode - this mode allows you to open long (buy) and short (sell) positions at the same time with the asset you've selected.

Make sure to exercise caution when selecting the Netting or Hedge modes to avoid placing undesired orders and positions.
