What is the Cooling-off Period?
As part of Binance’s commitment to responsible trading, the Cooling-off Period function allows you to temporarily suspend both cross and isolated margin borrowing for a specified time frame. You can set a Cooling-off Period of 1 day, 3 days, or 1 week according to your needs. During this time, you won’t be able to borrow any cryptocurrencies using your Margin account.
When to use the Cooling-off Period?
The feature is particularly useful if you want to limit and control your trading activities, especially during difficult times when you may feel pressured by losses. It allows traders to abstain from behavior and activities that can lead to irresponsible trades
