Study Notes
Overview of Position Closing
- Traders can close positions using the Close By "Limit" or "Market" option on both desktop and mobile.
- A new order in the opposite direction can close an existing position; e.g., placing a SHORT order while holding a LONG position.
Common Mistakes and Solutions
- Reduce-Only Errors: Attempting to add a buy/long order while already having an open long position triggers an error to prevent unintended position increases.
- It is critical for agents to understand and clarify the trader's intended approach, whether through limit or market orders.
Real Case Review Insights
- Understanding the position mode (One-Way or Hedge) is crucial when advising traders on closing positions.
- Agents should recommend practicing on the testnet or demo modes to increase trader confidence before real trading.
Stop-Loss Setting
- Market orders should be recommended for stop-loss to ensure immediate execution.
- Using limit orders as stop-loss strategies exposes traders to risks of non-execution; clarity on their purpose is essential.
Take-Profit Execution
- Traders may experience discrepancies in take-profit execution prices due to slippage, which must be explained.
- Using the "close by limit" function can provide a better price execution but may also carry risks of non-execution; appropriate conditions for setting orders must be followed.
Key Guidelines for Conditional Orders
- Ensure "close on trigger" is selected for conditional limit orders to be recognized as closing positions.
- For USDT perpetual contracts, confirm One-Way mode is set, and remember to select "Post-Only" when placing orders.
General Recommendations
- Emphasizing immediate execution in discussions about stop-loss and take-profit strategies is fundamental.
- Clear communication about risks related to limit orders should always be part of conversations with traders.
