# Merge / Split Position

#### 1. What is Merge/Split Position mode ?

In the split position mode, each time an order gets executed, a new position will be generated, that is, all positions with same symbol, same direction and same leverage will not be merged;

Split position mode brings user more flexibility in trading. Under one symbol, users can hold long positions and short positions at the same time, as well as low-leverage positions and high-leverage positions at the same time.

#### 3. How to adjust the position in the split position mode ?

In the split position mode, user can adjust the quantity of the position with "Increase" or "Close Position" button.
