1. Opening Futures Positions Using Spot and Flexible Savings Assets


When opening a Futures position, this feature allows users to automatically use assets from their Spot account or Flexible Savings account as margin if the available balance in the Futures account is insufficient. This allows the system to meet the margin requirements and place the order to open the position.

After this feature is enabled, the system will automatically perform actions such as Flexible Savings redemption and asset transfers during order placement, without requiring manual action from the user. This greatly simplifies fund allocation. For users who are used to keeping funds in Spot accounts or Flexible Savings to earn returns, this feature allows them to keep funds flexibly allocated while still responding quickly to Futures trading opportunities.

At present, only assets staked in Flexible Savings are supported for opening Futures positions on the web platform. Support for using Spot assets to open Futures positions, as well as support on the mobile app, will be launched soon.

2. Requirements for Using Spot and Flexible Savings Assets to Open Futures Positions


Before using this feature, please make sure the following conditions are met:
  • Your Spot account or Flexible Savings account holds available assets.
  • On the Futures trading page, you manually select the available accounts under Available.
Please note that this feature is not supported in multi-asset margin mode. Planned orders and trailing stop orders also do not support opening Futures positions using Spot or Flexible Savings assets at this time.

3. How to Enable Spot and Flexible Savings Assets for Futures Trading


Step 1: Enter the Futures Trading Page


Log in to your MEXC account and go to the Futures trading page.

Step 2: Find the Available Funds Section


In the order placement area, find the Available button. This section is used to select which accounts can be used for the current position opening.


Step 3: Select the Accounts You Want to Use


Click Available to view the selectable options. The Futures account is selected by default. You can also select the Spot account or the Flexible Savings account, or select both at the same time. After selection, assets from these accounts will be included as available funds for opening the position.

Step 4: Submit Futures Order


After selecting the accounts, enter the price and quantity as usual in the order panel and submit the order. If the Futures account balance is insufficient, the system will automatically use assets from the selected accounts to meet the margin requirements.

4. How the Feature Works in Different Situations


4.1 When the Futures Account Has Sufficient Funds


If the funds required for the order are less than or equal to the available balance in the Futures account, the system will use the Futures account balance directly to open the position. No redemption or transfer will occur. Even if you have selected the Spot account or Flexible Savings account, the system will always prioritize using funds from the Futures account.

4.2 When the Futures Account Has Insufficient Funds


If the funds required for the order exceed the available balance in the Futures account, the system will automatically use assets from the other accounts you selected. The system first calculates the required amount. If the Flexible Savings account is selected, the system will automatically redeem assets. If the Spot account is selected, the system will automatically transfer assets. After the margin requirements are met, the system will continue placing the order to open the position.

4.3 Example


Assume your Futures account has an available balance of 100 USDT, and opening the position requires 150 USDT in margin. If you have selected the Spot account or Flexible Savings account, the system will automatically use 50 USDT from the selected account. After redemption or transfer is completed, the position will be opened.

5. Adding Margin to Isolated Positions Using Spot and Flexible Savings Assets


In addition to opening positions, this feature also supports adding margin to isolated positions. When you need to add margin to an existing position to reduce liquidation risk, you can directly use assets from your Spot account or Flexible Savings account without manually redeeming or transferring assets.
To do this, select the isolated position you want to adjust in the order area and click the pencil icon next to Margin. In the Modify Margin window, click Max Addable, select the account to use, enter the amount, and confirm to complete the process.

6. Notes


When using this feature, please note the following: After selecting additional accounts, if the funds required for the order exceed the available balance in the Futures account, the system will automatically perform redemption and transfer actions. Selecting additional accounts does not necessarily increase your available balance immediately. Assets may not meet redemption or transfer conditions, may be subject to limits, or may fail due to system processing issues. This feature only applies to opening positions and adding margin. Liquidation or automatic margin addition for isolated positions will not affect your Spot assets or Flexible Savings assets. If redemption or transfer fails during order placement, the order will fail. Assets will not be automatically returned to the original account, and no re-staking will occur.

7. Users Suitable for This Feature


This feature is particularly suitable for:
  • Users who prefer to keep funds in Spot accounts or Flexible Savings to earn interest, while still being able to open positions quickly when trading opportunities arise.
  • Users who frequently need to add margin to isolated positions and want to reduce manual steps.
  • Users who want to keep funds flexibly allocated and avoid holding large idle balances in the Futures account.
