Opening a Huobi Contract Account

Step 1: Create a Huobi Account

To open a Huobi Contract account, you must first create a Huobi account. Visit the Huobi website, click on "Register," and follow the prompts to create an account. Ensure you use a strong password and enable two-factor authentication for enhanced security.

Step 2: Activate Your Futures Account

After creating a Huobi account, you need to activate your futures account. Navigate to the Huobi Futures platform and click on the "Futures" tab. Select "Futures Account" from the dropdown menu and click on "Open Futures Account."

Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the process. You will need to provide your personal information, including your full name, date of birth, and contact details. You will also need to agree to Huobi's terms and conditions.

Once your futures account is activated, you can deposit funds and start trading futures contracts.

Closing a Huobi Contract Account

Step 1: Transfer Assets to Your Spot Account

Before closing your Huobi Contract account, you must transfer all your assets from your futures account to your spot account. This ensures that you have full control of your funds and can withdraw them if necessary.

To transfer assets, navigate to the "Futures Account" page and select "Transfer." Enter the amount you wish to transfer and confirm the transaction.

Step 2: Close Open Positions

If you have any open positions in your futures account, you must close them before you can close your account. Failure to do so will result in potential losses.

To close a position, select the "Positions" tab from the "Futures Account" page. Find the position you wish to close and click on the "Close" button. Confirm the transaction to complete the process.

Step 3: Withdraw Funds from Your Futures Account

Once you have transferred all your assets to your spot account, you can withdraw them from the Huobi platform. Navigate to the "Spot Account" page and select "Withdraw." Choose the cryptocurrency you wish to withdraw, enter the amount, and provide the destination address.

Confirm the transaction and follow the onscreen instructions. Your funds will be credited to your external wallet within the specified processing time.
