Notes
Futures lead traders
Once you've become a futures lead trader, you'll need to select contracts for leading trades. Each position you open with these contracts opens a lead trade that copy traders can replicate. Supported order types for futures trading include:
Note: if you place any bot trades (such as futures grid, futures DCA, or arbitrage bots) they won't act as lead trades.
Similar to regular trading, you can go to your open positions and directly close your lead trade position. You can also set a custom price and amount if you'd like to perform a partial closure.
