How to multiply profits through opening buy-long positions when the price goes up?
Suppose that you have 2,000 USDT, and use 10X leverage to buy/long 1 BTC in BTCUSDT trading market. The PNL is calculated as follows:
1 * (25,000-20,000）= 5,000 USDT.
If you use 2,000 USDT to buy BTC in spot trading, you can only make a profit of 500 USDT. But when you make 10X leverage through futures trading, your profit will be increased by 10 times.
| Position Amount | Opening Price | Closing Price | PNL |
| 1 BTC | 20,000 USDT | 20,000 USDT | 5,000 USDT |
Note: To simplify the calculation of the above process, the calculation of premium, margin profit and loss, transaction fees and capital fees are ignored.
Take Cross position with 10X leverage to buy long in the BTCUSDT futures market as an example:
1. Enter the futures trading page
Visit CoinEx official website https://www.coinex.com, click [Futures] on the top to enter the transaction page, and select the Futures trading pairs.
2. Transfer the assets to the futures account
Click [Transfer], select [From Spot to Futures], select [USDT], enter the [Amount], and then click [Submit] to complete the transfer.
3. Set the margin mode and adjust the leverage
Take Cross Margin mode and 10X leverage as an example:
Select [Cross Margin] mode and [10X] for leverage.
4. Open a position/buy BTC at a lower price
Take limit order as an example:
Set the [Price] and [Amount] in the BTCUSDT contract market and click [Buy BTC] to complete the order.
The buy/long will be completed when the order is executed, and you can view the position details in the [Current Position].
5. Close the position/sell BTC at a higher price when it rises to the expected price
Method 1: Sell the number of positions in the order placement area to close the position.
Take limit order as an example here:
Set the [Price] and [Amount] in BTCUSDT contract market and click [Sell BTC] to complete the order. When the order is executed, the position will be closed/sell;
Note: When closing a position through the order placement area, if you want to completely close the position, the order amount must be the same as the position amount. If it is greater than the position amount, the position will be held in the opposite direction after the order is executed.
Method 2: Close the position at the current position.
Take limit order as an example here:
Set the [Price] and [Amount] on the BTCUSDT contract market, and then click [Close Position] to complete the delegation. When the order is executed, the close/sell will be completed.
Method 3: Use [Close All], [Take Profit or Stop Loss] to close the position.
When a position is closed by [Close All], [Take Profit or Stop Loss]on future trading, the closing order will be executed with the Auction-style Liquidation Strategy.

Risk Reminder
Futures Contract Trading not only allows you to magnify gains with fewer funds but can also saddle you with amplified losses when the market moves against your prediction. Therefore, we strongly advise entry-level users NOT to use high-leverage trading to avoid forced liquidation or even bankruptcy.
