## What is regular settlement?

Can profits from open positions be withdrawn at any time? of course not. The profit and loss due to price fluctuations after opening a position belong to unrealized profit and loss, that is, ‘bookkeeping'. These proceeds have not been converted into cash assets, so they cannot be transferred.

But it can be done after the regular settlement. Regular settlement is the process of realizing the unrealized profit and loss of the position. Its function is to transfer the money earned by this position to your account and transfer the money lost by this position from this account.

That is to say, the frequency of regular settlement determines the efficiency of fund use! Otherwise, your profit can only be transferred after closing the position.
