In most cases, this is related to Time in Force (TIF) settings. This guide provides a comprehensive explanation of Time in Force in Futures trading, helping you understand how different TIF options work and how to use them effectively to improve execution efficiency.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusfA85bHjp9eauq9GgTW1L1c"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-GkCtd6KngoGKjnxb68yuSMJQsUD"><strong>1. What Is Time in Force (TIF) in Futures Trading?</strong></h2><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusVvNqOTXvQPa9sJH7Qs1BEZ"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VzspdetIdowxR4xRmogupjceswf"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Time in Force (TIF) defines the period during which an order remains active before it is executed or automatically canceled. Simply put, it determines how long your order can remain "active" in the order book.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusxD8ZzLeOZClvfe8k0J3jSe"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusYvksp2dxtI2EUnehSrSY5g"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Understanding TIF is essential because choosing the right setting can significantly improve order execution, help you avoid missing ideal entry opportunities, and better manage risk exposure by preventing orders from being triggered unexpectedly during periods of high market volatility.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-SgZidL6QpogJMlxvS9Uu9ikUst7"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-XPCSdJWlzoTvx0x5U0dutw50sqh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">On the MEXC Futures trading platform, there are six order types available: limit, market, chase limit, trigger, trailing stop, and post only orders. Among these, limit orders, market orders, and trigger orders support Time in Force settings.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusrQboENRMOsVa81J129OJKg"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div style="text-align:center" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus9mFwz9e2WB8pYsqJFVimsf"><span style="font-size: 16px;">*BTN-<strong>Trade Futures</strong>&BTNURL=<a data-lark-is-custom="true" href="https://www.mexc.com/futures/BTC_USDT">https://www.mexc.com/futures/BTC_USDT</a>*</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus4ATHGHuNbxDFK5HjNoAIYc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-YeAtdoTKioFwHoxtNZEuxIyYsdb"><strong>2.

The system will not cancel the order due to time constraints. This option is suitable for traders who are not in a rush to enter a position and are willing to wait for their target price. It is commonly used in swing trading strategies or passive order placement.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxuskkOz226Lof23lQOBcbF1ic"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-LQ12dA8CEoP2vnx25rcublSDsEc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Example: If the current BTC price is 100,000 USDT and you believe 90,000 USDT is an ideal entry price, you can place a GTC limit buy order at 90,000 USDT.

Of BTCUSD at $91,000, but only 6 cont. are available at that price. With IOC, the system will immediately fill the 6 cont. and cancel the remaining 4 cont. This option is suitable for high-frequency trading or large orders where partial immediate execution is acceptable.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxush9e10DTp5BzRFIKbU6T0zc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-DsY8d2QqLoEIWex1ZoMu0CDFs2f"><strong style="font-size: 16px;">FOK (Fill-Or-Kill)</strong></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus9YaMMEq7CneCbgWwk4nFme"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-JlT6dufTQoHg9jxVDtiuFJGfsmc"><span style="font-size: 16px;">An FOK order must be filled in its entirety immediately.

If the order is only partially filled, the remaining portion is automatically converted into a limit order at the average execution price and placed in the order book.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus9no5PuH79W7BfeNog9bPec"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-FzMidsVgeoexj3x5NfsutKnksMh"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Example: If the BTC market price is $91,000 and you place an MTL order for 10 cont. of BTCUSD, the system may immediately fill 7 cont. at market price. The remaining 3 cont. will then be placed as a limit order at $91,000, waiting for further execution. This mechanism helps reduce the risk of the entire order being executed at unfavorable prices during sharp market movements.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusNvRHHSGIgtyfH1e4wUQmNc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h3 class="heading-3 ace-line old-record-id-HxiEd2MLgo4GxJxvM1BuZFXNsXA"><span style="font-size: 16px;">2.3 Time in Force for Trigger Orders</span></h3><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxusEhAMatpNEGTYKpeMPnxtWe"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-WBdkdYFxCoY7TQxW0J4u4fuFsYf"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Trigger orders are conditional orders that are submitted only when a predefined price condition is met.

Users can freely adjust leverage based on market conditions and according to their own risk tolerance. Beginners are advised to start with low leverage and gradually increase it after gaining experience. It's always important to recognize that leverage amplifies both profits and risks. For example, using 100 USDT as margin with 10x leverage gives exposure to a 1,000 USDT position. If the market rises by 5%, the profit is 50 USDT, but a 5% decline results in the same amount of loss. Choosing leverage wisely is therefore a key part of risk management.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-CLsgdrhMjoQ1tVxjmw3uWc1VsLd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-JjcDdyPHQov1PgxRodPu9CDDs8d"><strong>5.

This design protects traders from brief abnormal price spikes. Even if the last price on the chart momentarily touches the liquidation level, the position will not be liquidated as long as the fair price remains within a safe range.

On MEXC, the maintenance margin rate (MMR) is the key indicator of a user's position risk and overall asset exposure. When the MMR reaches or exceeds 100%, the system will automatically liquidate the position. Users are strongly advised to monitor changes in their MMR closely to avoid liquidation.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-doxus77cPplSKzsI5xH4oWMsySf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxusXNFoQ4eICatMFSumDtP6bh"><strong>2.

MEXC uses the fair price as the trigger for liquidation. When the fair price reaches the liquidation price, the liquidation mechanism is activated. Using the fair price as a reference helps improve market stability and reduces unnecessary liquidation during periods of abnormal market fluctuations.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Zgsod8uX4oK9PJxoSkBulmK8sqb"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-XaLadiGDGoqHCDxeRczuDq1FsAb"><span style="font-size: 16px;">Users can view the current fair price and its explanation at the top of the trading page.

When the account margin falls below this threshold, the system will trigger liquidation or partial liquidation. It is a necessary mechanism to protect positions and control the risk of liquidation.

The maintenance margin directly affects the liquidation price and can be considered the "locked" portion of margin used for risk management. The larger the position size, the more margin must be locked, which means the maintenance margin rate will increase accordingly. We strongly recommend that users close their positions before their available margin balance falls to the maintenance margin level to avoid liquidation.

This means the MMR is not affected by the leverage chosen. The system divides position sizes into multiple tiers according to the Future's base risk limit and incremental thresholds. Each tier corresponds to a different MMR: the larger the position, the higher the MMR. Details on the MMR and risk limit tiers for each Perpetual Futures can be found under <strong>Futures Overview</strong> → <strong>Information</strong> → <strong><a data-lark-is-custom="true" href="https://www.mexc.com/futures/information/risk_limit?symbol=BTC_USDT&type=linear_swap&utm_source=mexc&utm_medium=newfuturesheader&utm_campaign=risk_limit">Risk Limits</a></strong>.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-EKhMdcLAVo0Wn2xk7iTu3VtmsZ3"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Js8zdQ84HoN6q6xYMhGuLOFfscd"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Example:</strong> If User A's MMR is 1% and they use 100 USDT as margin, 1 USDT will be locked. When the unrealized loss reaches 99 USDT, the position will be liquidated, rather than waiting until the full 100 USDT is lost. This mechanism helps the platform manage risk more effectively.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-JVJodhLqqozrhCxTDWyugmeOsAc"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-WkLadWqV6odFp6xj61ru93X2std"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Note:</strong> In cases of abnormal price fluctuations or extreme market conditions, the system may take additional measures to maintain market stability, including but not limited to:</span></div><ul start="1" class="list-bullet1"><li style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-FGLkdfgcdoY7vyxU8qEuWdAtsMe" data-list="bullet"><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Adjusting the maximum leverage for Futures</span></div></li><li style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-S4Lcd24jDoD9qCxPoomutvGgsxB" data-list="bullet"><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Adjusting position limits across different tiers</span></div></li><li style="text-align:left" class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Yg5rd9uVEoglddx09W9uwxhTsQb" data-list="bullet"><div><span style="font-size: 16px;">Adjusting the MMR across different tiers</span></div></li></ul><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Mdiqd7etpoFKPMxwQD2uPhUys7f"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-UszDdQVFpo1TpWxtZNwucywCsrb"><strong>6.

In cross margin mode, each position has its own independent initial margin, but the margin pool is shared. The unrealized PNL of every position impacts the overall cross margin account balance. Moreover, if a user holds both long and short cross margin positions under the same Future, the liquidation price will be the same for both directions.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-NopRdP6ycovf9YxKlzeuxHvmsbb"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-IpbIdo112om8S9xmQmFuAmSSsnO"><strong>7.

Since the liquidation process does not go through the matching engine, the takeover price may not appear on the candlestick chart. After liquidation, any remaining margin is transferred to the insurance fund. If the position goes into negative equity, the insurance fund will cover the shortfall. This is one of MEXC's risk control measures designed to prevent the auto-deleveraging (ADL) mechanism from being triggered during extreme market volatility.</span></div><div class="ace-line ace-line old-record-id-ICJZdKxiFoaaA6xvx9UuFidHshf"><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br></span></div><h2 class="heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-doxusJUue9eTJVoqJaQmOt2nlxh"><strong>8.

This way, even if the market experiences sharp fluctuations, your losses can remain within a controllable range.
