Closing a contract in MEXC is a crucial step in managing your risk and securing profits or minimizing losses in futures trading. Understanding the process thoroughly is essential for effective contract management. This comprehensive guide will provide a step-by-step explanation of how to close a contract in MEXC, ensuring a smooth and efficient execution.

Step 1: Log in to Your MEXC Account

• Access the MEXC website or mobile app and sign in using your registered email or mobile number and password.
• Once you have successfully logged in, you will be directed to the MEXC dashboard.

Step 2: Navigate to the Trading Terminal

• On the MEXC dashboard, navigate to the "Trade" tab located at the top navigation bar.
• Select the "Contracts" option to access the contracts trading terminal.
• You will be presented with a list of available trading pairs for futures contracts.

Step 3: Select the Contract You Want to Close

• From the list of trading pairs, identify the contract you wish to close.
• Click on the contract's name or ticker symbol to open the contract details page.

Step 4: Choose the Desired Order Type

• On the contract details page, you will see two options for closing a contract: "Market Order" and "Limit Order."
• Market Order: This order type closes the contract immediately at the current market price, ensuring a swift execution.
• Limit Order: This order type places a sell order at a specified price. The contract will only be closed if the market price reaches the predefined price level.

Step 5: Specify the Closing Parameters

• Order Qty: Enter the number of contracts you want to close.
• Order Margin: Displayed automatically based on the selected contract and order quantity.
• Trigger Price (for Limit Order Only): Specify the price level at which you want the contract to be closed if using a Limit Order.
• Price (for Market Order Only): The current market price is automatically displayed for Market Orders.

Step 6: Review and Confirm the Order

• Carefully review the order details, including the order quantity, order margin, and order type.
• Ensure that the selected contract, order parameters, and order execution method align with your trading strategy and risk appetite.

Step 7: Place the Closing Order

• Click the "Sell" button to place the closing order.
• If using a Market Order, the contract will be closed immediately at the current market price.
• If using a Limit Order, the order will be placed and remain active until the market price reaches the specified trigger price.

Step 8: Monitoring the Order Status

• Track the status of your closing order in the "Open Orders" section of the contract details page.
• Your order status can be "Open," "Partially Filled," or "Filled."
• Once the order is filled, your contract will be closed, and the margin held for that contract will be released.

• Use Market Orders for Quick Execution: Market orders are generally recommended for traders seeking to close a contract swiftly without any slippage.
