I recently encountered an issue with trading operations and would like to ask everyone for advice. I opened a short position at the price of 92100, and later at 89000, I opened a second short position. As a result, the system automatically merged these two orders, and the average opening price became 91277. To be honest, I intended to hold these two positions separately, but they were merged, and the position structure changed. Can anyone explain what is going on? Is this the default logic of the exchange, or is it a problem with my account settings? Why would orders in the same direction be forcibly merged?

Yeah, this is indeed very annoying. Most exchanges default to merging like this.

Isn't this just the exchange's automatic merge setting? Most platforms do this by default.

This is the default logic of the exchange. Automatic merging in the same direction is a basic operation. You should check if this feature has been disabled in your account settings...

This is the default behavior of the exchange. Most platforms automatically merge positions in the same direction. You need to check if the contract settings have isolated margin mode enabled; switching to that will allow separate positions.

This is the default behavior of the exchange, most of them merge like this. You need to go to account settings to turn off automatic merging.

This is really outrageous. Merging orders is really annoying. I've encountered it before. You need to carefully check your exchange's risk management settings.

Haha, isn't this normal operation? Most exchanges default to merging in the same direction.
