Start Trading
This section outlines the complete workflow for placing a first perpetual contract trade on 6MM.
All trading activities occur after users access 6MM through an authorized agent or partner platform and complete the required asset allocation.
Step 1: Access 6MM via a Partner
Users enter 6MM exclusively through an authorized agent or partner platform.
Registration and authentication are handled by the partner
Access is provided either through an embedded interface or via app.6mm.com
User identity and permissions remain fully managed by the partner
Once access is granted, users are directed to the 6MM trading interface.
Step 2: Allocate Funds to the Spot Account
Before trading, funds must be available in the Spot Account.
Users allocate funds from their partner-managed balance
Transfers are executed automatically and securely
No on-chain deposits or withdrawals are required
Allocated funds will appear in the Spot Account and are ready for internal use.
Step 3: Transfer Funds to the Perpetual Account
To place orders, funds must be moved from the Spot Account to the Perpetual Account.
Internal transfers are instant and fee-free
Only assets in the Perpetual Account can be used for trading
Available margin is calculated immediately after transfer
This step prepares the account for leverage and position management.
Step 4: Select Market and Leverage
Users configure their trading parameters.
Select the desired perpetual contract (e.g., BTCUSDT Perpetual)
Set the leverage multiplier based on risk preference
Margin requirements update in real time
Higher leverage amplifies both potential returns and risk exposure.
Step 5: Configure Order Details
Users define order parameters according to their trading strategy.
Choose the order type (Market, Limit, etc.)
Enter order price and quantity
Review estimated margin usage and fees
All parameters are validated before order submission.
Step 6: Place the Order
After confirmation, the order is submitted to the market.
Orders are matched by the 6MM matching engine
Execution status updates in real time
Filled orders generate open positions in the Perpetual Account
Users can immediately monitor open orders and positions.
Step 7: Manage Positions and Risk
Once a position is open, users can actively manage exposure.
Monitor unrealized PnL and margin ratio
Adjust leverage (if supported)
Set Take Profit and Stop Loss (TP/SL)
Partially or fully close positions
Risk metrics update continuously with market movements.
Step 8: Close Position and Settle
When a position is closed:
Realized PnL is settled into the Perpetual Account
Available balance updates instantly
Funds may be transferred back to the Spot Account
Users may continue trading or initiate withdrawals through the partner platform.
Summary
6MM delivers a streamlined, partner-integrated trading flow that:
Eliminates direct user deposits and withdrawals at the infrastructure layer
Separates capital allocation from trading execution
Combines institutional-grade performance with intuitive user workflows
This process ensures a consistent, secure, and scalable perpetual trading experience across all partner platforms.
