  On BitMEX, the maximum duration for keeping a position open depends on the type of contract you are trading. For perpetual contracts, there is no expiration date, so you can keep your position open indefinitely. However, it's important to note that there are funding fees associated with holding positions overnight. For futures contracts, the duration varies based on the contract's expiration date. You can check the contract specifications on the BitMEX website to find out the specific expiration date for each contract.

  Keeping a position open on BitMEX is a flexible process. Perpetual contracts allow you to hold a position for as long as you want, without any specific expiration date. This gives you the freedom to trade at your own pace and take advantage of market opportunities. However, it's important to consider the funding fees that are charged every 8 hours for holding positions overnight. Make sure to factor in these fees when deciding how long to keep a position open.
