  1. Margin Requirements

    • For futures, perpetual contracts, options selling, and margin trading:

      • Available margin must ≥ order's required amount
  2. Balance Requirements

    • For spot trading and options buying:

      • Available balance must ≥ order's required amount

Important Note: Available balance excludes cross-margin earnings.

This determines your available trading capacity.
