Additional Considerations:

• Partial Closing: You can partially close a contract position by specifying a quantity to close that is less than the total contract size.
• Market Order vs. Limit Order: You can choose to close a contract using either a market order or a limit order.
• Fees: Gemini charges a trading fee for all contract transactions, including closing. The fee varies depending on the contract type and the trading volume.
• Market Conditions: The market price of the underlying asset can fluctuate rapidly, which can affect the execution price and profitability of the close order.
