What is Position Mode？

When trading futures, there are two position modes to choose.

One-way Mode

For each target pair, you can only hold a position in one direction at a time—long or short. If you open a new position in the opposite direction, it will offset and merge with your existing position.

Hedge Mode

This allows you to simultaneously hold both long and short positions for the same target pair. The margin required, leverage, and position sizes are tracked separately for each direction, providing a risk offset.
