Understanding the terms on screen

Distinguishing order types from execution status helps you know what to check next.

MarketMarket orderWhen you want to attempt execution at currently available pricesThe latest price on screen may differ from the actual average fill price.
TP / SLTake profit / stop loss conditionsWhen setting conditions for closing a positionCheck the reference price, quantity covered, and execution method. A fill at the set price is not guaranteed.

Key differences to understand first

Keep the desktop and mobile examples separate, and verify order results in your history.

Understanding the product

What are stock- and ETF-linked futures?

Perp or Perpetual in this guide means futures without an expiry date that are linked to stock or ETF prices. They do not give you ownership of the underlying stock or ETF shares. Check each contract's margin, funding, liquidation rules, and corporate action adjustments.

Preparing funds

Have a balance but cannot place an order?

Transfer USDT from Funding Account to Unified Trading Account. Do not confuse it with a CFD account. After transferring, check that the amount appears under Available in the order panel.

Orders and holdings

Distinguish submission, execution, and cancellation

An order success notification may only confirm submission. Check both the Filled quantity of pending orders and the actual position. Canceling a partially filled order leaves the quantity already held in place.

What to check on screen

TradFi Futures and CFDs are different

This guide covers USDT-settled perpetual futures traded through Unified Trading Account. CFDs in the TradFi menu are separate products; do not assume they use the same account or order process.

Desktop and mobile examples

Screens covered in this guide

The desktop example is SNDK Short, while the mobile example is NVDA Long. Mobile includes canceling, resubmitting, and modifying unfilled orders. Desktop covers fill history; mobile continues through Closed P&L details.

Final P&L

Price gains and final P&L are different

In the mobile NVDA example, entry and exit prices are both 219, but fees result in Closed P&L of -0.3697 USDT. The desktop captures do not include final Closed P&L details, so calculations from the history should not be treated as a confirmed final displayed result.

Trading hours

Check when the underlying market is closed

Notices such as Off-Hours, Outside regular hours, Market closed, and Weekend session relate to the underlying market's trading hours. Labels differ by exchange, and quotes, price differences, and trading restrictions may change while the underlying market is closed.

Closing a trade

Check the position and remaining orders together

After submitting a closing order, check actual fills and the remaining quantity held. Review pending orders and TP/SL separately, then compare the contract, time, and quantity in the history to read the final result.

This guide explains buttons and features using actual screenshots. The guide's Next button only advances the explanation; it does not place real orders. Contracts, prices, quantities, balances, leverage, and P&L are examples from the time of capture, not investment advice or recommended settings. Actual screens, available products, and contract terms may vary by app version, region, and account status.
