Features of Bitget Futures

Bitget Futures on Bitsgap offers a robust set of features designed to enhance your trading experience. Let's dive into the key aspects you need to know:

Available Contracts

  • All linear perpetual futures (USDT and two contracts for USDC—BTC and ETH) are available in real trading mode.
  • For demo mode, only USDT contracts are accessible on Bitget Futures.

Balance Display

  • Spot and futures wallets are separate on Bitget Futures, with balance transfer available between them.
  • In the Balance section, you'll see the balance of the quoted currency for the selected contract pair (e.g., USDT balance for USDT pairs, USDC for USDC pairs).
  • Both USDT and USDC are available for transfer between wallets.

Trading Modes

  1. Hedging Mode / One-Way Mode
    • Hedging mode is set by default for the entire account.
    • Manual trading supports both hedge and one-way modes.
    • Bot trading is only possible in one-way mode.
    • Users can switch between modes in their Bitget account or on the Bitsgap Bots page.
  2. Margin Modes (Cross/Isolated)
    • Cross margin is the default setting.
    • Switching between modes is possible when there are no open positions or active orders for a specific trading pair.
    • With existing positions/orders, you can only switch from isolated to cross, not vice versa.
    • In hedge mode, leverage must match in both long and short directions to switch.

Leverage Management

  • Leverage can only be set as an integer value, with a minimum of 1x.
  • The default leverage is 10x for all margin types when selecting a trading pair.
  • When decreasing leverage, ensure sufficient balance to cover positions.
  • When increasing leverage, the current position volume must not exceed the maximum allowable volume for the new leverage value.

Margin Adjustment in Isolated Mode

  • Adding Margin: Limited by available balance, considering negative unrealized PnL for cross-margined positions.
  • Withdrawing Margin: Cannot withdraw more than the Initial Margin. Negative unrealized PnL freezes part of the margin.
  • Changing Leverage:
    • Increasing: Margin remains in the position and can be withdrawn.
    • Decreasing: Exchange may automatically replenish position margin to Initial Margin level if necessary.

Reduce-Only (RO) Orders

  • The system automatically manages RO order volumes to prevent exceeding the current position volume.
  • RO orders may be canceled if regular orders can be executed before them.
  • RO orders are not available in hedging mode.

Bitget Futures Features for Bots

  • Futures bots can only operate in one-way mode.
  • When launching a COMBO or Futures DCA bot in hedging mode, users will be prompted to switch to one-way mode.
DCA Futures Bot
  • If a user manually switches from isolated to cross margin during bot operation, the bot won't immediately revert the change.
  • Transition back to isolated margin occurs at the beginning of the next bot cycle, as the exchange doesn't allow such transitions for open positions.

Understanding these features will help you navigate Bitget Futures on Bitsgap more effectively, allowing you to make the most of this powerful integration.
