# Hedge Mode ### **What is Hedge Mode?** Hedge Mode is a trading strategy that allows futures traders to manage and mitigate market risk by holding two opposing positions — a long and a short — under the same contract simultaneously. This lets you capitalize on market fluctuations from both directions while minimizing potential losses. ### **One-Way Mode vs. Hedge Mode** #### **One-Way Mode** In One-Way Mode, you can hold positions in only one direction per contract. If you open a position anticipating a move in one direction, you cannot simultaneously open an opposing position without first canceling or reducing the existing one. #### **Hedge Mode** Hedge Mode allows you to hold both long and short positions at the same time under the same contract. For example, you can maintain both long and short positions in a BTCUSDT contract simultaneously. This flexibility helps you adapt to market dynamics and manage risk across different timeframes. ### **How to Switch Between One-Way Mode and Hedge Mode** 1. Open the trading interface and click the Settings button.

2. Click Position Mode to toggle between One-Way Mode and Hedge Mode.

3. Select your preferred mode.

Note: Position Mode cannot be changed while you have open positions or open orders.
