Q1: What is the FameEX Futures Trial Fund?

The Futures Trial Fund is a platform coupon that can only be used in futures trading. It can be combined with your own assets as margin to open positions, and it can also be used to offset trading losses, opening or closing fees, and funding fees. When deducting fees, the system allocates costs between the trial fund and your own funds based on the predefined deduction ratio. When offsetting losses, the system allocates them based on the proportion of trial funds in the position. The trial fund cannot be withdrawn, but any realized profit generated through trading with the trial fund can be withdrawn normally.

Q2: How Can I Receive the Trial Fund and Where Can I Check It?

Users can obtain trial funds by participating in FameEX registration rewards, deposit tasks, and other official events. Once issued, the trial fund is automatically credited to your futures account and becomes immediately usable.

・After the trial fund has been credited, you may check the transaction record as follows:

1) App version: Go to Futures Trading, then enter the USDT-M Futures interface and check the Records icon. Then scroll to Transactions to view the trial fund credit details.

2) Web version: Go to ‘Futures’ under ‘Assets’ menu, and check Transaction History for the triad fund credit time and amount.

・To check your available balance, remaining amount, and expiration date:
1) App version: Go to ‘Futures’ and find ‘Effective Trial Fund’, then click to enter. You will find ‘Trial Fund Details’ here.

2) Web version: Go to ‘Futures’ under the ‘Assets’ menu, and find Trial Fund. Then click to enter Trial Fund Details.

Q3: Do I Need To Activate the Trial Fund? How Is It Used on FameEX?

No activation is required. The trial fund becomes effective automatically upon issuance.

When you place an order, the system will automatically use the trial fund that is closest to expiration. Each order can apply one trial fund coupon at most.

Q4: How Do I Use the Trial Fund?

The trial fund can be used as part of your trading margin and can offset opening margin requirements, trading fees, funding fees, and realized losses. Trading fees and funding fees are shared between the trial fund and your own balance based on the deduction ratio, while losses are allocated based on the proportion of trial funds within the position.

If the trial fund balance is insufficient to cover its share of the deduction, the system will automatically cover the shortfall using your own balance. If your own balance is also insufficient, the system handles the deduction according to standard risk rules.

Example 1 – Margin deduction:

If a user has 100 USDT of personal funds and 60 USDT of trial funds, with a 50% deduction ratio, the effective trial fund becomes 100 × 50% = 50 USDT. Therefore, the maximum notional opening size is 100 USDT (personal funds) + 50 USDT (trial funds) = 150 USDT.

Example 2 – Fee allocation:

If a user opens the 200 USDT position consisting of 150 USDT personal funds and 50 USDT trial funds, with a 1% fee rate, the total fee is 200 × 0.01 = 2 USDT. According to the deduction ratio (50%), the trial fund covers 1 USDT (deducted from the position), and personal funds cover the remaining 1 USDT, which is deducted from the available balance. Final position value becomes 199 USDT (150 USDT personal + 49 USDT trial fund).

Example 3 – Loss allocation:

If a user closes the 200 USDT position consisting of 150 USDT personal funds and 50 USDT trial funds, with a 100 USDT realized loss, the trial fund covers 100 × (50/200) = 25 USDT, and personal funds cover 75 USDT. The user still needs to pay 1 USDT closing fee from personal funds.

Q5: Why Can’t My Order Be Opened Even Though I Have Trial Funds?

This typically occurs when the open order size is too large relative to the trial fund amount. If the trial fund is insufficient to cover its share of trading fees, the system will deduct the entire available trial fund first. Any remaining fees must be covered by personal funds. If your personal balance cannot cover the difference, the order cannot be placed.

For Example:

A user attempts to open the 20,000 USDT position with 19,990 USDT personal funds and 10 USDT trial funds. At a 1% fee rate, total fees = 200 USDT. The trial fund should theoretically cover 100 USDT (50%), but only 10 USDT is available. The remaining 190 USDT must be paid from personal funds. If personal funds are insufficient, the order will fail. After deduction, the trial fund balance becomes zero.

Q6: Under What Conditions Does the Trial Fund Expire?

Trial fund validity is highly dependent on trading activity and account operations. It may become invalid immediately under the following circumstances:

• Expiration: If the trial fund is not used before its validity period ends, it will be automatically reclaimed.
• Transfer: If the user transfers assets out of the futures account, all unused trial funds expire instantly. Any pending orders containing trial funds will be canceled, and any active positions containing trial funds will be force-closed.
• Deduction: Once the trial fund has been used to offset losses, fees, or funding, it is considered consumed and becomes invalid.
• Position-closure: If the trial fund is used as margin, it is invalidated immediately after the position is closed, regardless of profit or loss.

Q7: Are There Restrictions or Scenarios Where the Trial Fund May Be Reclaimed?

The trial fund cannot be transferred, withdrawn, or used in copy trading and is strictly limited to futures trading. Only one-way positions are supported when holding trial funds; hedge-mode under long or short positions is not allowed. Trial funds cannot be used for wash trading, self-trading, or reverse-position exploitation. If our platform detects malicious behavior or abuse of trial funds, we reserve the right to reclaim funds and take action on the associated account.

Q8: Why Does Transferring Funds Cause the Trial Fund To Expire?

Any transfer out of the futures account immediately invalidates all unused trial funds. If there are active positions or pending orders involving trial funds, they will be forced to close or cancel. This mechanism is part of FameEX’s risk management. Users should always verify their position status before initiating transfers to avoid forced liquidation or unexpected position reductions.

The FameEX Trial Fund system offers flexible margin support but operates under strict rules. To ensure smooth trading, users are advised to monitor trial fund amounts, personal balance levels, and expiration times carefully, and confirm that no related positions with trial funds are open before initiating transfers.
