## How to Change the Okx’s Position Type to Long/Short Mode?

4 months ago[AntBot](https://www.antrade.io/guide/docs/en/author/antbot/)1 minute

Normally, if you have **no positions** in your **Okx’s account** when you use **AntBot** for the **first time**, the position type will automatically switch to **\[Long/Short mode]**, so that the robot can be **started** smoothly.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that you may also encounter situations where **automatic switching cannot be performed**. Then you need to go to **Okx** to **manually select** the **\[Long/Short mode**] which supports long and short positions at the same time.

The following are the operation steps:

1\.

2\.

<figure><img src="https://antrade.io/guide/docs/en/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/2-3.jpg" alt=""><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

3\. Since AntBot opens long and short positions on the same crypto at the same time, it is necessary to choose **\[Long/Short mode**].

<figure><img src="https://antrade.io/guide/docs/en/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/3-4.jpg" alt=""><figcaption><p>Note: Position type applies to all futures and perpetual swap contracts. To adjust this mode, close all open positions or cancel pending orders.</p></figcaption></figure>

**\[Long/Short mode]**: You can place both open (long/short) and close (long/short) orders. This mode allows you to hold two-way positions.

**\[Buy/Sell mode]**: You can only place buy or sell orders, and hold one-way positions under either isolated or cross margin mode.
