Things to Consider When Closing a Position

There are a few things to consider when closing a position on Upbit contract trading:

• The market price: The market price of the asset will determine the profit or loss that you make on your position. If the market price is higher than the price at which you opened your position, you will make a profit. If the market price is lower than the price at which you opened your position, you will make a loss.
• The trading fees: Upbit charges a trading fee for each contract that you trade. The trading fee is a percentage of the contract value.
• The margin requirement: When you open a position on Upbit contract trading, you will need to post margin. Margin is a deposit that you make to ensure that you have enough funds to cover any potential losses. The margin requirement is a percentage of the contract value.

Example

Let's say that you open a long position on the BTC/USDT contract with a contract value of $10,000. The margin requirement for this contract is 10%. This means that you will need to post $1,000 in margin to open the position.

If the market price of BTC/USDT rises to $11,000, you will make a profit of $1,000. However, if the market price of BTC/USDT falls to $9,000, you will make a loss of $1,000.

You can close your position at any time by following the steps outlined above. If you close your position at a profit, you will be able to withdraw your profits from Upbit. If you close your position at a loss, you will not be able to withdraw your losses.
