Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up an Order in OYi Contract

1. Understanding OYi Contract Market Types

• Perpetual Contracts: Track the underlying asset's price without expiring.
• Quarterly Futures Contracts: Expire on a specific date and represent the price of the underlying asset at that time.

2. Choosing the Right Order Type

• Limit Order: Execute at a specified price, protecting from unfavorable price movements.
• Stop Limit Order: Combines a stop order (executes when a specified price is reached) with a limit order (executes at the stop price or better).
• Market Order: Executed immediately at the current market price.

3. Setting up Limit Orders

1. Enter desired order price: Choose a limit price lower (for buy orders) or higher (for sell orders) than the current market price to protect against price fluctuations.
2. Specify contract size: Determine the number of contracts to trade based on your risk tolerance and capital.
3. Set leverage: Choose the leverage level (e.g., 10x, 20x) to amplify potential returns but also magnify risks.
4. Review and confirm order: Check the order parameters and click "buy" or "sell" to submit the order.

4. Setting up Stop Limit Orders

1. Set stop price: Enter the price at which you want the stop order to trigger.
2. Determine limit price: Specify the price where the limit order will be executed upon stop price activation.
3. Enter order size and leverage: Follow the same steps as for limit orders.
4. Submit order: Review and click "buy" or "sell" to execute the stop limit order.

5. Setting up Market Orders

1. Choose buy or sell: Indicate whether you want to buy or sell contracts.
2. Specify order size and leverage: Determine the contract amount and leverage level to suit your trading strategy.
3. Submit order: Click "buy" or "sell" to execute the market order at the current market price.

6. Advanced Options: Trailing Stop and Take Profit Orders

• Trailing Stop Order: Moves a stop order price in the same direction as the market price when the asset price moves favorably, allowing for flexible profit protection.
• Take Profit Order: Closes a position at a specified profit level, securing gains in favorable market conditions.

7. Other Important Considerations

• Fees: Consider contract fees and platform commissions before executing orders.
• Risk Management: Employ appropriate risk management strategies, including setting stop loss orders and using leverage cautiously.
• Market Research: Conduct thorough market analysis to make informed trading decisions.
