Q: How does margin usage work with Trading Bonus?
A: In One-way Mode, your margin includes:
- Your own capital, and
- A matching amount of Trading Bonus (up to 50%)
Examples:
- If you have 100 USDT capital + 200 Trading Bonus → you can use 100 USDT of the Trading Bonus
- If you have 200 USDT capital + 100 Trading Bonus → you can use the full 100 Trading Bonus
Q: How are losses and fees deducted?
A: Losses and funding fees are split evenly:
- 50% from your own funds
- 50% from your Trading Bonus
Once your Trading Bonus is fully used, any additional losses will be taken from your own capital.
Q: Can the Trading Bonus be used under Cross Margin?
A: Yes, you can use Trading Bonus under One-way Cross Margin, following each token’s collateral rules.
Eligible collateral includes:
- USDT
- USDe
- USDC
- BTC
- ETH
- PUSDT
USD1 and other unsupported assets cannot be used with Trading Bonus.
In Cross Margin, Trading Bonus is not counted as collateral; it is added on top of your eligible collateral balance.
Q: What happens if I switch to Multi-Position Mode?
A: If you switch to Multi-Position Mode:
- Your Trading Bonus cannot be used as margin
- It can only be used to pay trading fees
- To switch modes, you must close all open and pending positions
Q: Will the Trading Bonus be used to offset my realized losses?
A: Yes. Your realized losses are shared between your funds and your Trading Bonus, based on the 50/50 margin split.
Q: When will my Trading Bonus expire?
A: Your Trading Bonus is valid for 14 days from the time it is issued.
- It will automatically expire at 00:00 UTC after the 14th day
- You will receive reminders 3 days and 1 day before expiration
If the Trading Bonus expires while being used in an open position
- Your position will not close automatically
- The system will try to replace the expired Trading Bonus with your available capital
- If your capital is insufficient:
- Your margin decreases
- Your leverage increases
- Your liquidation risk rises
Pending orders may also be canceled if the margin becomes insufficient.
Q: What happens if I withdraw any funds?
A: If you make any withdrawal, no matter the amount or asset:
Your entire Trading Bonus balance will be removed immediately.
Example:
You have 1,000 USDT + 10 Trading Bonus
You withdraw 1 USDT → Trading Bonus becomes 0
You will see a confirmation message before the withdrawal is submitted.
Q: Why was my order rejected due to the leverage limit?
A: Your maximum leverage may be limited to 5x when both conditions are met:
- Your lifetime deposit is below 30 USDT, and
- Your lifetime deposit is less than half of your Trading Bonus balance
This rule applies only in One-way Mode.
If you already hold a position above 5x leverage, you must first reduce or close it. Pending orders follow the same rule.
Q: Why did my Trading Bonus disappear after the policy update?
A: When the Trading Bonus policy was updated, all previous Trading Bonus balances were removed so that everyone could start fresh with the new rules.
