### Fund your Unified Trading Account <a href="#fund-your-unified-trading-account" id="fund-your-unified-trading-account"></a>

After you've whitelisted BTCUSDT, you need to ensure that you have a balance of USDT in your unified trading account. If this amount drops below your position size, trades will not execute on your account.**Important:** due to markdown expected on any trading strategy, its important to note that your account could be in loss for a period of time. Its best to start with a position size that is around 10% of the overall amount you are wanting to trade to manage your risk effectively.

### One-way mode

Hedge mode is not supported by our automation, so users will need to ensure that their accounts are setup to trade in one-way mode.&#x20;

To check this, to to the settings icon in the top right hand corner
