Binance: one-way mode
Futures bots need one-way positions, and Multi-Assets Mode off for isolated margin.
The steps, in words
- Open Preferences on the futures pageOn the Futures trading page tap ··· in the top right and choose Preferences.
- Open Position ModeUnder the Trading Mode tab tap Position Mode. The same list shows Account Mode: on Unified Account spot and futures share one balance; on the classic account they are two wallets and the funding step below applies.
- Choose One-way ModePick One-way Mode. Hedge mode needs a position side the engine never sends, so the first short would be refused. Close any open position first — the mode is locked while one is held.
