Account Management (FAMS)

FAMS, which stands for Futures Account Management System, enables features such as stop and limit orders on Horizon Protocol's Futures Exchange.

FAMS is a middle-layer smart contract system that allows Horizon Protocol Futures traders to intelligently manage their margin across perpetual futures markets by automatically performing multi-step operations by batch executing these actions in a single transaction, improving the overall UX for the user.

The Account Manager includes pages for Overview, Deposit, Withdraw, and Keeper.

Using FAMS in Horizon Protocol Futures

FAMS make Limit and Stop Loss possible by automating the multi-step transactions via batch execution.

FAMS is a part of Futures trading on Horizon Protocol. Every user is required to set up a non-KYC account on Horizon Protocol Futures before they can start trading.

Setting up your account includes the following steps:

1. Create Account - Approve the FAMS middle-layer to act on your behalf to automate actions such as limit and stop-loss orders. Requires signing with your wallet.

2. Deposit Margin - deposit the funds you want to use in Horizon Futures. Only the funds deposited can be used by FAMS. It cannot touch other assets in your wallet.

3. Fund Keeper - to access limit and stop-loss orders, the Keeper must be funded. The Keeper is what is used to automate and batch-execute multi-step operations on your behalf. Without funding the Keeper, you will be limited to just Market actions without Take Profit/Stop Loss orders.
