4. Choose the crypto you want to operate on the left crypto column. Then choose the trading type: [Buy] or [Sell] and the order type [Limit Order], [Market Order], [TP/SL].
- Limit Order:
- TP/SL Order:
Example: Assuming the current BTC price is 65,000 USDT, here are some scenarios for TP/SL orders with different triggers and order prices.
| TP/SL Market Sell Order Trigger Price: 64,000 USDT Order Price: N/A |
When the last traded price reaches the TP/SL trigger price of 64,000 USDT, the TP/SL order will be triggered, and a Market sell order will be placed immediately, selling the assets at the best available market price. |
| TP/SL Limit Buy Order Trigger Price: 66,000 USDT Order Price: 65,000 USDT |
When the last traded price reaches the TP/SL trigger price of 66,000 USDT, the TP/SL order will be triggered, and a Limit buy order with 65,000 USDT order price will be placed into the order book, awaiting execution. Once the last traded price reaches 65,000 USDT, the order will be executed. |
| TP/SL Limit Sell Order Trigger Price: 66,000 USDT Order Price: 66,000 USDT |
When the last traded price reaches the TP/SL trigger price of 66,000 USDT, the TP/SL order is triggered. Assuming the best bid price is 66,050 USDT after the trigger, the Limit sell order will be executed immediately at a price better (higher) than the order price, which is 66,050 USDT in this case. However, if the price drops below the order price upon triggering, a 66,000 USDT Limit sell order will be placed into the order book for execution. |

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Once you submit the orders, you can view and edit your stop-limit orders under [Orders History] in the [TP/SL Order].
Zoomex Spot Trading Fees
Below are the trading fees you’ll be charged when you trade Spot markets on Zoomex.
All Spot Trading Pairs:
Maker Fee Rate: 0.1%
Taker Fee Rate: 0.1%
Calculation Method for Spot Trading Fees:
Calculation formula: Trading Fee = Filled Order Quantity x Trading Fee Rate
Taking BTC/USDT as an example:
If the current price of BTC is $40,000. Traders can buy or sell 0.5 BTC with 20,000 USDT.
Trader A buys 0.5 BTC using a Market Order with USDT.
Trader B buys 20,000 USDT using a Limit Order with BTC.
Taker’s Fee for Trader A = 0.5 x 0.1% = 0.0005 BTC
Maker’s Fee for Trader B =20,000 x 0.1%= 20 USDT
After the order is filled:
Trader A buys 0.5 BTC with a Market Order, so he will pay a Taker’s Fee of 0.0005 BTC. Therefore, Trader A will receive 0.4995 BTC.
Trader B buys 20,000 USDT with a Limit Order, so he will pay a Maker’s Fee of 20 USDT. Therefore, Trader B will receive 19,980 USDT.
Notes:
- The trading fee unit charged is based on the purchased cryptocurrency.
- There is no trading fee for unfilled parts of orders and canceled orders.
Does Leverage Affects Your Unrealized PL?
The answer is no. On Zoomex, the main function of applying leverage is to determine the initial margin rate required to open your position, and selecting higher leverage does not directly amplify your profits. For example, Trader A opens a 20,000 Qty Buy Long inverse perpetual BTCUSD position on Zoomex. Refer to the table below to understand the relationship between leverage and initial margin.
| Leverage | Position Qty (1 Qty = 1 USD) | Initial Margin Rate (1/Leverage) | Initial Margin Amount (BTCUSD) |
| 1x | 20,000 USD | (1/1) = 100% | 20,000 USD worth in BTC |
| 2x | 20,000 USD | (1/2) = 50% | 10,000 USD worth in BTC |
| 5x | 20,000 USD | (1/5) = 20% | 4,000 USD worth in BTC |
| 10x | 20,000 USD | (1/10) = 10% | 2,000 USD worth in BTC |
| 50x | 20,000 USD | (1/50) = 2% | 400 USD worth in BTC |
| 100x | 20,000 USD | (1/100) = 1% | 200 USD worth in BTC |
Note:
1) Position Qty is the same regardless of leverage applied
2) Leverage determines the initial margin rate.
- The higher the leverage, the lower the initial margin rate and thus a lower initial margin amount.
3) Initial margin amount is calculated by taking position qty multiply by initial margin rate.
Next, Trader A is considering closing his 20,000 Qty Buy Long position at USD 60,000. Assuming that the average entry price of the position was recorded at USD 55,000. Refer to the table below shows the relationship between leverage, Unrealized PL (profit and loss) and Unrealized PL%
| Leverage | Position Qty (1 Qty = 1 USD) | Entry Price | Exit Price | Initial Margin Amount based on entry price of USD 55,000 (A) | Unrealized PL based on exit price of USD 60,000 (B) | Unrealized PL%(B) / (A) |
| 1x | 20,000 USD | 55,000 | 60,000 | 20,000/(55,000 x 1) = 0.36363636 BTC | 0.03030303 BTC | 8.33% |
| 2x | 20,000 USD | 55,000 | 60,000 | 20,000/(55,000 x 2) = 0.18181818 BTC | 0.03030303 BTC | 16.66% |
| 5x | 20,000 USD | 55,000 | 60,000 | 20,000/(55,000 x 5) = 0.07272727 BTC | 0.03030303 BTC | 41.66% |
| 10x | 20,000 USD | 55,000 | 60,000 | 20,000/(55,000 x 10) = 0.03636363 BTC | 0.03030303 BTC | 83.33% |
| 50x | 20,000 USD | 55,000 | 60,000 | 20,000/(55,000 x 50) = 0.00727272 BTC | 0.03030303 BTC | 416.66% |
| 100x | 20,000 USD | 55,000 | 60,000 | 20,000/(55,000 x 100) = 0.00363636 BTC | 0.03030303 BTC | 833.33% |
Note:
1) Notice that despite different leverages being applied for the same position qty, the resulting Unrealized PL based on exit price of USD 60,000 remains constant at 0.03030303 BTC.
- Therefore, higher leverage does not equal to higher PL.
2) Unrealized PL is calculated by taking into consideration the following variables: Position Qty, Entry Price and Exit Price
- The higher the Position Qty = the greater the PL
- The larger the price difference between entry price and exit price = the greater the Unrealized PL
3) Unrealized PL% is calculated by taking the Position Unrealized PL / Initial Margin Amount (B) / (A).
- The higher the leverage, the lower the initial margin amount (A), the higher the Unrealized PL%
- For more info, please refer to the articles below
4) The Unrealized PL and PL% illustration above does not take into consideration any trading fees or funding fees. For more info, please refer to the following articles
- Trading Fee Structure
- Funding fee calculation
