Gate DEX contract goes live with a split-position holding mode; up to 4 independent positions are supported for the same market.

Gate News: According to Gate’s official announcement.

Gate DEX contracts have now officially launched the “segmented position mode.” This mode allows users, within the same Perpetual Contract market, to hold multiple long/short directions and multiple position modes at the same time, supporting up to 4 independent positions, including cross long, cross short, isolated long, and isolated short.

The segmented position mode supports a mix of cross and isolated positions. The isolated long and isolated short positions can each be set to different leverage multiples, and different positions do not affect each other. Isolated positions are managed according to separate margin, risk limits, and liquidation conditions, while within the same market the cross long and cross short share the cross margin pool and risk limits.

To ensure proper functionality, users need to update the Gate App to version v8.20.0 or above.
