Lead trader: why is the total order in the Lead Trade and Open position tabs different?

Published on May 13, 2024Updated on Oct 29, 20242 min read15

1. What does it mean when the Open Position and Lead tabs show numbers in parentheses?

When you see numbers in parentheses next to the Open Position and Lead tabs, it indicates the number of active positions or orders. For example, (1) means one active position or order.

2. How does the number of lead trading orders change?

If you place 2 lead trading orders on the same token contract, the number in parentheses on the Lead tab changes to indicate the number of lead trading orders running. However, the number in parentheses on the Open Position tab remains the same, representing the token contract on an open position. For example, if you create 2 lead trading orders on DOGEUSDT, you will see the number on the Lead tab change to 2, while the number of the open position tab remains as 1.

3. What happens when I place orders on both futures and spot?

Placing orders on both futures and spot results in changes to the numbers in parentheses on the Open Position and Lead tabs. The Open Position tab remains the same, aggregating the values from futures contracts. Meanwhile, the Lead tab shows the total number of lead trading orders, including those on futures and spot.

4. How does Open Position differentiate between futures and spot trades?

The Open Position tab aggregates values only from futures contracts, leaving spot trades aside. This is because spot trades involve holding the asset compared to futures trades where positions are in USDT.
