What Is Reduce Only in Binance Futures?
Reduce Only is a special order option in Binance Futures that only reduces or closes an existing position.
It cannot open a new position under any condition.
What Does Reduce Only Do?
When you enable Reduce Only:
✅ Your order will only decrease your current position size
❌ It will never increase or reverse your position
❌ If no position exists, the order won’t execute
📌 Example:
You have a Long 1 BTC position
You place a Sell order with Reduce Only ON
Result → Your long position is reduced or closed
It will NOT open a short position
🤔 Why Should You Use Reduce Only?
