Position sizes for SPOT and FUTURES

[cadmufasa]

Hi,

I am trying to get balances for positions that are open on the SPOT and the FUTURES.

For FUTURES, I am using: `
positions = exchange.fapiPrivate_get_positionrisk( )

My understanding is that if positionAmt ZERO then the position is closed. - and - if positionSide = BUY, then positionAmt = sum(ALL of the BUY POSITIONS created)

QUESTION: is this ONLY for FUTURES? I want this information for SPOT markets too - how can I get it?

TIA

Spot don’t have position, please check details from this topic.

Closing positions

Spot trading doesn’t have positions like other instruments do because you are settling the trade immediately. When you place an order to buy BNB using USDT and it becomes FILLED, that BNB is immediately credited to your account. If you logically really want to put a position concept on it: if you sell USDT to buy BNB, you can think of it that you’re Long on BNB. You would sell your BNB to “close” the position. The closet way to list a of “open spot positions” in the way you are thinking about …

Thanks for the response
Below, you said:

I thought I would use an example to understand things further.

MARGIN

orders = client.get_open_margin_orders(symbol=‘BNBBTC’)

FUTURES

futures_get_open_orders(**params)[source]
Get all open orders on a symbol.

  https://binance-docs.github.io/apidocs/futures/en/#current-open-orders-user_data

The 2 items show how one might 'get open orders"

My questions are as follows.

#QUESTION 1: Do FUTURES, MARGIN and SPOT use information from the SAME Order book

**

I ask because I saw the item below (that refers to an orderbook for FUTURES). I also saw a way to get an order book for SPOT. I did not see a way to look at an orderbook for MARGIN:

FUTURES

	def futures_order_book(self, **params):
    	"""Get the Order Book for the market

    	https://binance-docs.github.io/apidocs/futures/en/#order-book-market_data

    	"""
    	return self._request_futures_api('get', 'depth', data=params)

And I have also seen

SPOT

    orderbook = exchange.fetch_order_book ( in_symbol, params = params )

> QUESTION: Is there fetch_order_book for MARGIN?
