Trading Should Leave More Than Just Results
In most futures trading scenarios, the conclusion of a trade typically leaves only a profit or loss figure. Regardless of the time invested, strategy adjustments, or risk management efforts, everything seems to reset once a position is closed. This outcome-driven approach overlooks the real value of market participation and fails to build sustainable long-term advantages.
The Gate Futures Points Program is designed to fundamentally shift this logic. Instead of focusing solely on the success or failure of individual trades, it treats overall trading activity as a resource that can be preserved, extended, and reused—establishing a continuous value cycle for futures trading.
Futures Points: Turning Actions Into Assets
Unlike typical task-based promotions, Futures Points do not require traders to change their trading style. Simply continue participating in futures trading, maintain assets in your account, or expand community engagement through referrals—the system will automatically convert these everyday activities into points.
These points are not consumed immediately. Instead, they serve as a strategic resource that can be used at your discretion. Traders can choose when to redeem and how to use them, allowing past participation to become flexible leverage for future strategy adjustments.
Fully Automated Operation with Lower Participation Costs
The Gate Futures Points Program is fully automated—from trading volume tracking and asset snapshots to daily settlement, everything is handled by the system. Users do not need to apply, set parameters, or worry about missing deadlines. Points accumulate naturally as you trade. This design ensures points are seamlessly embedded in the trading process, rather than becoming an additional management burden, allowing the program to operate alongside traders for the long term.
Three Distinct Paths to Points Accumulation
1. Ongoing Rewards Through Trading Frequency
The more frequently you trade each day, the greater the reward:
- Earn 1 point for every $400 in trading volume
- Both opening and closing trades count toward the total volume
- No daily limit—active users can accumulate unlimited points
Maintaining a steady trading rhythm means every transaction can become a source of long-term returns.
2. Time-Based Accumulation From Account Assets
The system automatically snapshots your account balance daily (including spot assets in unified accounts) and awards fixed points based on asset amount:
- $100 ≤ Balance < $1,000: 1 point/day
- $1,000 ≤ Balance < $10,000: 2 points/day
- $10,000 ≤ Balance < $100,000: 3 points/day
- ≥ $100,000: 4 points/day
(Note: Investment account funds are excluded from snapshots.)
3. Extended Accumulation Through Community Engagement
Invite friends to join futures trading and earn points:
- Invite 1 friend: 1 point
- Invite 2 friends: 2 points
- Invite 3 or more friends: 3 points
Only invitations where the invitee successfully accumulates at least 2 points are considered valid.

Practical Uses for Points
Once you accumulate enough points, you can redeem a variety of trading-related tools, including:
- Cash Token: Directly reduces trading costs
- Position Voucher: Enhances flexibility for position adjustments and fund allocation
- Trial Bonus: Allows you to test strategies in relatively low-risk scenarios
Gate also plans to further expand the use cases for points, ensuring they evolve in step with the broader futures trading ecosystem.
Program Rules
To ensure fairness, the Futures Points Program has clear rules for usage and accumulation:
- Points are valid for 15 days
- “First to expire, first to use” principle applies
- Transactions below the daily threshold are not counted
- Institutional accounts and market makers are not eligible
Understanding these details helps you plan your trading and redemption rhythm more effectively.
A Repeatable Trading Cycle
The Gate Futures Points Program is not a one-time reward, but a long-term cyclical system: trading and holding activities are recorded → points are gradually accumulated → redeem for practical tools → optimize operational efficiency → return to trading.
Whether you are a high-frequency trader, an asset allocator, or specialize in community engagement, you can find a rhythm that suits your style within this framework.
Summary
The Gate Futures Points Program does not require traders to change their strategies. Instead, it redefines the value of participation itself. With this mechanism, every order placed, every day of asset allocation, and every effective community interaction is preserved and transformed into future operational advantages. In the fast-paced, highly competitive futures market, establishing a structure for long-term accumulation is often more decisive than individual profit and loss, and the Gate Futures Points Program puts this long-term approach into practice within the actual trading process.
