In CoinEx’s futures market, investors can go long or short with leverage to profit from price differences.
Since perpetual futures have no expiry or maturity dates, as long as you maintain the required margin, you can hold your positions indefinitely without rollover.
1. Futures Trading Entry
💻Go to CoinEx’s official website (https://www.coinex.com) and navigate to [Futures] > [Futures Trading] to enter the trading page.
2. Before Opening a Position
Enter the “Linear/Inverse Futures” page and select your contract market.
Next, click [Transfer] to move USDT from your Spot Account to your Futures Account.
Then, click “Cross/Isolated” to choose your margin mode, set the leverage ratio (e.g., 10X) , and confirm the changes.
3. Open a Position
Trading Direction
📈 If you expect the price to rise → Click [Buy Long]
📉 If you expect the price to fall → Click [Sell Short]
For Linear Contracts (or “USDT‑Margined Contracts”)
- Set [Price] and [Amount].
- Click [Buy Long] or [Sell Short], and confirm the order.
After execution, check [Current Position] to view position details, profit/loss, and risk ratio.
For Inverse Contracts (or “Coin-Margined Contracts”)
Inverse contracts quote in BTC, and the profits and losses are also settled in BTC.
The trading logic is the same as Linear contracts; only the settlement currency differs.
4. Close a Position
When the price reaches your target range, you can close your position to lock in profit or limit loss:
- Close Long: Sell BTC after the price rises to take profit.
- Close Short: Buy back BTC after the price drops to cover the short positions and realize profit.
How to close a position:
- From the order panel: Like spot trading, set the price and amount, then click [Buy Long] or [Sell Short].
- From position panel: Go to [Current Position], click [Close Position], set price and amount, then confirm.
