# Futures Settings

Manage your leverage and positions modes across exchanges

{% hint style="info" %}
The easiest way to access futures settings for a product is from the Ticker view (if you are subscribed to the product). If the product is a futures product it will have an *icon* next to the exchange name. **Click it** to open the futures settings for that product.
{% endhint %}

## Changing the settings

### Margin mode

You can choose between "Cross" and "Isolated" margin modes. [Here's an article](https://academy.binance.com/en/articles/what-are-isolated-margin-and-cross-margin-in-crypto-trading) on the difference.

### Leverage

Exchanges and products have different leverage brackets. You can also be restricted by your own leverage tier in some cases. If you try to exceed your max leverage, you will receive an error message.

### Position Mode

You can choose between **"One-way"** and **"Hedge mode".** Hedge mode allows you to have one long and one short position in the same product at the same time, while in one-way mode you are restricted to one position, either long or short.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.volven.io/modules/ui-overview/futures-settings.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
