Gate DEX Contract Positioning Feature Upgrade: Added Sub-Positioning Mode

To further enhance the flexibility and strategic performance of perpetual contract trading, Gate DEX contracts have now officially launched the "Position Segmentation Mode." This mode supports users holding multiple positions in different directions and modes within the same perpetual contract market, meeting more diverse trading strategy needs and helping users manage positions and risks more flexibly.

Feature Highlights

The position segmentation mode allows users to manage different strategy positions separately within the same market, improving capital efficiency and trading flexibility.

Supports up to 4 independent positions in the same market

Users can hold:

• Full-margin long

• Full-margin short

• Isolated-margin long

• Isolated-margin short

Supporting multiple directions and modes of concurrent positions.

Supports a mix of full-margin and isolated-margin positions

Both full-margin and isolated-margin modes can exist simultaneously in the same market.

Specifically:

• Isolated-margin long and isolated-margin short can set different leverage multiples

• Leverage settings for full-margin and isolated-margin positions are independent

• Different positions do not affect each other

Helping users achieve more flexible strategy combinations and position management.

To ensure proper functionality, please update the Gate App to version v8.20.0 or above.

Risk and Margin Explanation

Isolated-margin position risk isolation

Different isolated-margin positions are managed independently based on:

• Margin

• Risk limits

• Liquidation conditions

Positions do not affect each other.

Shared risk for full-margin positions

Full-margin long and full-margin short in the same market:

• Share the full-margin pool

• Share risk limits

Please control position risks reasonably.

Operation Instructions

Click on Position Mode in the top right corner of the contract trading page

Risk Warning

Perpetual contract trading involves high leverage and high risk. The position segmentation mode enhances strategic freedom and position management flexibility but may also introduce higher market risks. Users should trade cautiously according to their risk tolerance and reasonably control positions and leverage.

Gate DEX contracts will continue to optimize the perpetual contract experience, constantly introduce more professional trading capabilities, and help users achieve more efficient and flexible on-chain contract trading. Thank you for your continued support of Gate DEX contracts.
