Binance Futures announced significant changes to its copy trading service cooling-off period rules, effective from 08:00 UTC on November 11, 2024. This adjustment aims to improve the functionality of the Lead Trader Open Portfolio by simplifying the cooling off period process.
Updated Cooling Off Period Rules
According to the new guidelines, only trading functions will be suspended for 24 hours during the cooling-off period. Previously, the rules included canceling all open orders and closing open positions at the market price. The modifications are expected to streamline operations and reduce confusion for traders during the cooling-off period.
The cooling off period applies to public portfolios with cumulative assets under management (AUM) of more than 500,000 USDT and a maximum drawdown of more than 20% over a 7-day period. Binance conducts checks every two hours to identify portfolios that meet these criteria. Specifically, if a cooling off period is applied to a portfolio, it will not be re-evaluated for the next 7 days.
