FAQ
Q1: What is the difference between buying ETFs and regular spot trading?
A: ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) are leveraged tokens that track the performance of underlying assets with built-in leverage. Unlike regular spot trading, ETFs automatically manage leverage and rebalancing, allowing you to gain leveraged exposure without manually managing positions.
Q2: Can I sell ETFs I've purchased?
A: Yes, you can sell your ETF holdings at any time by selecting the [Sell] option on the same trading page where you purchased them. Follow the same process but choose [Sell] instead of [Buy].
Q3: Where can I view my complete ETF trading history?
A: Navigate to [Assets] to view your current ETF holdings, or check the [Order History] section to review all your past ETF transactions, including completed and cancelled orders.
