Case 1: The order does not submit
Symptom You fill out the trade panel, but the order does not go through. Possible cause- the selected market, side, or size is incomplete
- there is not enough available balance or margin
- the funds are in Spot instead of Perpetuals
- Confirm that the correct market is selected.
- Confirm that the order type, side, and size are all filled in.
- Check the margin bar and available balance.
- If you are trading perps, confirm the funds are in Perpetuals rather than Spot.
- reduce size if margin is too tight
- cancel unused open orders if they are reserving funds
- move funds to Perpetuals if the trading balance is on the wrong side
Case 2: The order was placed, but no position appears
Symptom You submitted the order, but nothing shows in Positions. Possible cause- the order is still active in Orders
- the order filled only partially
- the order is a Limit order and price has not reached it yet
- Open Orders first.
- Check whether the order is active, partially filled, or canceled.
- Compare the order type with the current market price.
- if it is still waiting, leave it active or edit/cancel it
- if it is only partially filled, review the remaining size
- check Positions only after the order has actually executed
Case 3: The position opened with the wrong risk settings
Symptom The trade is open, but the leverage or margin mode is not what you intended. Possible cause- the wrong margin mode was selected before submission
- the leverage setting was not reviewed before entry
- Check whether the position is using Cross or Isolated.
- Confirm the leverage shown in the position row or trade panel.
- if the setup is wrong, reduce or close the position
- reopen it with the intended leverage and margin settings
Case 4: The order is not filling
Symptom The order is active, but it remains open instead of executing. Possible cause- it is a Limit order waiting at a specific price
- the market touched the area but the full size did not reach your place in the queue
- liquidity near the level is too thin or too heavy for the fill you expected
- Open Orders and confirm the order is still active.
- Compare the order price with the live market price.
- Use the Order book and recent trades view to judge nearby liquidity.
- Review How orders are executed if you suspect queue position or partial fill behavior.
- wait if price control matters more than speed
- move or cancel the order if the setup is no longer valid
- use a market order if immediate execution matters more than exact price
Case 5: The available balance keeps changing after the trade opens
Symptom Your available balance moves even though you did not manually transfer funds. Possible cause- unrealized PnL is changing
- open orders are reserving collateral
- under Cross, account-level gains and losses affect what is available
- Review unrealized PnL in Positions.
- Check whether active orders are still reserving funds.
- If the trade uses Cross, remember that account-level exposure can change available collateral.
- use the current Available values, not only total account value
- reduce positions or cancel unused orders if you need to free balance
Case 6: The position closes faster than expected
Symptom The position closed earlier or more aggressively than you expected. Possible cause- leverage was too high for the room available
- a stop-loss or breakeven order was active
- the position reached its liquidation price
- Review the leverage and margin mode used on the trade.
- Check whether a stop-loss or breakeven order was active.
- Review the liquidation price in Positions.
- Check Orders and Trade History to see whether the close came from an exit order or forced risk event.
- lower leverage on the next trade if the setup was too tight
- widen the risk plan only if the strategy actually supports it
- re-check stop and liquidation distance before reopening
