2.3 The perpetual contract will never be delivered. Fees will be paid every eight hours between the buyer and the seller. If the rate is positive, a payment will be made for the long position while fees will be acquired for the short position, vice versa if the rate is negative.

3.2 When users issue an order to open a position and the transaction is executed, you will establish the corresponding contract position. When the position is not closed, there will be unrealized PNL along with the fluctuation of the price. The unrealized profit cannot be used as the margin of the contract and cannot be cash-out. After the position is closed, this part of unrealized profit will be transferred to the realized profit.
3.3 When users issue an order to close a position and the transaction is executed, the corresponding number of holding positions will be deducted from the positions you hold. The earnings of the liquidated part is not included into that of the current position, and the earnings of this part has been transferred to the contract account automatically.
4. Risk Control Rules
4.1 CoinBene's perpetual contract trading adopts the cross margin system and the fair price marking system.
4.2 Cross Margin
Cross margin, also known as "spread margin", is a margin method that utilizes the full amounts of funds in the available balance to avoid liquidations. Any other profitable positions can help increase the margins on losing positions. This margin method is very useful for you to hedge an existing position and also for arbitrageurs that do not wish to be exposed in the event of a liquidation.
4.3 Fair Price Marking
CoinBene employs a fair price marking system to avoid the unnecessary liquidations in its highly leveraged products. Without this system, unnecessary liquidations may occur if the market is being manipulated, is illiquid, or the mark price swings unnecessarily relative to its spot price. The system is able to achieve this by setting the mark price of the contract to the fair price instead of the last price.
