Reverse: A reverse order involves simultaneously closing an existing open position and opening a position of equal size in the opposite direction. It is executed through market orders.
Reverse orders allow you to quickly react to market shifts by effectively “reversing” your current market stance.
For example, if you hold a long (buy) position on a futures contract, when you tap on [Reverse], the current long position will be closed as market order, at the same time, the system will open a short position with the same leverage and position size as market order.Note: If your balance can't cover an equal opposite position, a smaller one will be opened based on available funds. The reversed position size is capped by market order limits. Please be aware that market conditions, margin, and risk may prevent reversal.
