Why does the trigger order fail due to price limit?

Hello, trigger order may fail to be placed due to price limit, position limit, lack of margin, contracts in not-allowed-trading-status, network issues, system issues, etc. Therefore, to avoid trigger order failure due to price limit mechanism, it’s highly suggested not to pre-set the trigger price too close to the limit price.

What is cross margin mode?

Cross-margin mode is available in Huobi Futures: the same digital currency asset of your account will be used as margin of all the open positions of that digital currency.

For example, if you open one position of BTC contracts, then all the BTC in your account will be the margin of that position, and if you open several positions of BTC contracts, then all the BTC in your account will be the margin shared by these open positions. The profits and losses of positions of one digital currency can be mutually offset.

Why cant I open positions?

You may not open positions under the below situations:

1. Available margin is not enough to open positions, cause we have the minimum amount requirements when open positions.
2. The order price is out of the range of price limits.
3. The amount exceeds the upper limit of single orders.
4. The number of positions exceed the upper limit for an individual investor.
5. Positions may only be closed within 10 min before settlement.
6. The positions are taken over by system.

Why are there limits for order price and quantities?

In order to avoid risk and protect users, we take some measures, such as restricting the prices and quantities of orders.

If the limits are triggered, you can only close positions. Please refer to help centre for details. Thanks for your understanding and support.

Does contract account support cash withdrawals?

Contract account does not support cash withdrawal currently. Wed like to suggest transferring assets via Exchange account.
 

Why does the number of positions that I can open change with market price?

Available Margin changes with the latest market price. And the formula is shown as below:

Position margin =（Contract value *Number of position contracts）/Latest transaction price/leverage

Number of position contracts = Position margin * Latest transaction price * leverage / Contract value
 

Does Huobi Futures support Point Card deduction?

Why Do I Receive Usdt when I Buy/sell Bch on Huobi P2P

The service of buying/selling BCH is divided into the following steps:

1. When users buy BCH:

• The third-party liquid team buys USDT from the advertiser
• The third-party liquid team converts USDT to BCH

2. When users sell BCH:

• The third-party liquid team converts BCH to USDT
• The third-party liquid team sells USDT to advertisers

Due to the large fluctuations in the price of crypto, the validity period of the quotation is 20 minutes (the time from order placement to crypto release must be controlled within 20 minutes).

Therefore, if the order is not completed in more than 20 minutes, you will receive USDT directly. The USDT can be sold at Huobi P2P or exchanged for other cryptos at Huobi Spot.

The above explanation applies to buying/selling BCH/ETC/BSV/DASH/HPT on Huobi P2P.
