Hedge Mode for USDT Perpetual Contracts

8V.com has launched hedge mode for perpetual contracts, supporting cross and isolated margin modes. Compared to traditional one-way positions, this model offers more flexibility and combinations in position and risk management, meeting diverse user needs.

Hedge Mode

Hedge Mode allow holding both long and short positions simultaneously in the same contract, enabling better position management and executing trading strategies in different market conditions for higher profitability.


If a user expects BTC to rise long-term but may see a short-term decline, he can open a 1 BTC long position and a 0.5 BTC short position at 29,000 USDT. If BTC drops to 25,000 USDT, his net profit is (1 – 0.5) × (-4,000) = -2,000 USDT, reducing the loss by 2,000 USDT compared to a simple long position.

One-Way Mode

One-way Mode only allow positions in one direction within the same contract.
