I tried to set leverage of binance future trade using the code below

self.lever = self.binance.set_leverage(leverage=2, symbol='DOGE/USDT')

but what i got is…

ccxt.base.errors.NotSupported: binance setLeverage() supports linear and inverse contracts only

So i found that when i load markets and check values corresponding to ‘DOGE/USDT’, and I saw that linear and inverse attribute are false. How can turn value of linear into true?

ccxt.base.errors.ExchangeError: binanceusdm {“code”:-4046,“msg”:“No need to change margin type.”}

That error means that the margin mode for ADA/USDT is already set to ISOLATED.

OK, but when the code follows and place the order, unfortunately the leverage I choosed before is not respected, the order appears in binance with another leverage value. When I change the leverage manually, appears this popup to confirm the change of leverage:

Is with the API this popup should appear?

Now look at the previous code, the leverage I should have is x2.

And I have x5.

Aparently the leverage type selection worked because I changed it to CROSSED and it applied.

UPDATE:

When I close the tab of the actual pair, and I RE-OPEN it, the changes I sended with the API are APPLIED.

It looks like to work just 50/50, but the changes NOT take effect immediatly, like a “refresh” instruction is missing, and obviously when I do the createOrder, it applies with the wrong leverage.
