Why can’t I partially close my position?
Introduction
This article explains why you may be unable to partially close a position on Coinlocally Futures and how to resolve common issues related to margin mode, leverage limits, and hedged orders.
Reasons you may not be able to partially close a position
1. Leverage exceeds the maximum allowed
In Cross Margin Mode, if your current leverage is higher than the maximum leverage allowed for that pair, you must reduce leverage before partially closing.
Example:
- Maximum allowed leverage: 20x
- Your position leverage: 22x
→ Reduce leverage to 20x to partially close.
2. You are using Isolated Margin Mode
In Isolated Mode, leverage cannot be reduced.
If you want to partially close:
- Ensure no opposite (hedged) open orders exist
- Cancel any conflicting orders first
3. Hedged orders block partial closing
If you have both Buy and Sell open orders on the same pair, the system may prevent partial closing until the opposite order is canceled.
Additional notes
- Cross Margin shares margin across all positions.
- Isolated Margin locks margin to a single position.
- Hedged Mode allows long and short positions but may restrict partial closing depending on open orders.
Common Issues
- Forgetting to cancel opposite-side open orders.
- Trying to reduce leverage in Isolated Mode.
- Margin checks failing due to insufficient available balance.
