What is Futures Opening Bonus?

The Futures Opening Bonus is a virtual fund designed to amplify your position size when trading futures on AscendEX. It has a specific value and exchange ratio of 1:1 with USDT. It increases your maximum allowable position size during order placement. Note: This bonus cannot be used to offset futures trading fees, funding fees, or trading losses.

 

How to Use Futures Opening Bonus?

The Futures Opening Bonus must be used in conjunction with your own funds (non- Futures Opening Bonus funds). Trading with the bonus alone is not permitted. The system automatically applies the bonus to expand your maximum position size when opening positions.

 

If Own Funds ≥ Bonus Amount: Available Margin = Own Funds + Bonus Amount
Example: With 10,000 USDT in own funds and 5,000 USDT in bonus, available margin = 15,000 USDT.

If Own Funds < Bonus Amount: Available Margin = 2 × Own Funds
Example: With 500 USDT in own funds and 2,000 USDT in bonus, available margin = 1,000 USDT.
