Instructions on the use of position boost voucher (allocation voucher)

Users must invest a certain amount of their own funds to open a position with a position boost voucher that requires pre-allocated funds.

Voucher will first use the allocated amount and cannot be combined with trading bonuses. This means you cannot use this type of position boost voucher if you have trading bonuses in your account.

Position boost vouchers cannot be used when the available balance in USDT-M Futures for the corresponding trading pair is less than the allocation requirement.

The available value of a position boost voucher = (bonus + allocated funds) × leverage shown on the position boost voucher.

The margin consists of the bonus amount and the allocated amount, which cannot be modified by the user.

When a position boost voucher is used in trading, only the user’s own funds will be considered for transaction fee rebates; bonuses will be excluded.

Usage restrictions for position vouchers:

Position vouchers cannot be used if you have USDT-M Futures in one-way mode.

Position vouchers cannot be used if your voucher's trading pair operates under cross margin mode.

Position vouchers are ineligible if the trading pair associated with your position is undergoing liquidation.

Only one position voucher can be used per position at a time.

Position vouchers cannot be combined with other funds; you cannot utilize them for opening positions in the same direction if you have existing open positions or unfilled orders for a trading pair.

Utilizing a position voucher to open a position is contingent upon overall maximum allowable limits.

Position voucher recovery rules:

If an order involving a position voucher fails to execute, any associated bonus will be revoked.

Canceling an order after successfully placing it with a position voucher results in the recovery of the bonus.

Full or partial closure (including reverse orders) of a position opened with a position voucher results in full or partial recovery of the associated bonus.

Liquidation or partial liquidation of a position opened with a position voucher also results in corresponding recovery of the voucher bonus.

Upon expiry of a position voucher, the associated position is closed at the prevailing market price.

Due to price volatility, there's a possibility that a position voucher may not be fully executed after placing an order, leading to recovery of any unexecuted portion.

System reminders are provided in case of order failures subsequent to using a position voucher.
