Futures Tutorials

Beginner and advanced tutorials to help you reach your trading and investment goals.
Leverage Multiple
All futures and perpetual contracts on KuCoin Futures support the use of leverage. The amount of available leverage depends on the initial margin and the maintenance margin level. These two factors also determine the amount of assets required to open and maintain a position.
Impact of Funding Rate on Position PNL
Unlike delivery contracts, perpetual contracts do not require delivery or liquidation on expiration, meaning that they can be held in perpetuity. As there is no delivery, a mechanism is needed to ensure that the contract price and spot price are consistent. This mechanism is the funding rate. Put simply, perpetual contracts use the funding rate to anchor the contract price to the spot price.
What types of advanced orders does KuCoin Futures support?
KuCoin supports hidden orders, post only orders, and reduce only orders. Select the corresponding mode from the order page to set your desired order type. Advanced mode only supports limit orders (including stop limit orders).

I traded at KuCoin futures at the beginning with 10$ only, and made a lot of money by short my positions when the market falls. I always recommend it to my friends, as well get many recommend rewards frequently.

Abro mis posiciones"long"desde que estoy respaldado en usdt, en caso de caída de precio, el valor del soporte permanece Y mis posiciones cortas en los contratos BTC, pues si el precio sube mi respaldo, aumenta de precio y aleja mas mi precio de liquidacion Creo que esta tactica puede ser util para otros usuarios de KuCoin futures!

My journey with KuCoin Futures has really been a lovely one. Most important to me is the realistic volumes. The prices are not manipulated and the liquidation prices are the most realistic, because KuCoin Futures doesn’t hunt or manipulate to my disadvantages.

쿠멕스는 라이트 버전과 프로버전으로 나뉘어져 있어서 저같은 초보가 접근하기 편한 거 같습니다. 앞으로도 유동성을 확보해서 더 좋은 마진 거래 할 수 있도록 해주세요.
