Loss limit

The loss limit is your maximum total daily loss. If your loss exceeds this limit, your positions are closed automatically at the market price and trading is blocked. Positions are also closed automatically if your balance reaches zero or becomes negative.

The default loss limit on the crypto market is 70% of your balance. You can lower it. How the loss limit works.

Other trading conditions

Overnight fee

The overnight fee is charged when the market closes for its daily break. It is calculated on the full value of each open position. The rate depends on the instrument and is listed on its page in the Fees tab. If you have several positions, their fees are added together.

For example, you have $1,000 in your account and want to carry a BTC position worth $30,000 into the next day. The fee is charged on the full position value: $30,000 × 0.0085% = $2.55.

There is no separate limit on the combined value of positions you can hold overnight.

Minimum trade size

The minimum trade size depends on the instrument and allows you to trade small amounts.

Order duration

Orders remain active until they are filled or canceled.
