Dear KuCoin Futures Users,
Due to large volatility recently, for risk control, KuCoin Futures is going to adjust the leverage and maintenance margin rate of the BTC USDT-Margined perpetual contract at 08:00 on November 9, 2022 (UTC). More details can be found in the Risk Limit Documentation.
The details are as follows:
BTC Perpetual/USDT
Notice:
1. Please refer to the updated Risk Limit Level to place an order.
2. The liquidation of the existing positions of this contract is based on the current risk limit level. New positions opened after the scheduled upgrade will be executed based on the new risk limit level.
3. Users can adjust the risk limit level by themselves. To avoid liquidation, the system will automatically cancel all the open orders of users and replenish the margin to the account during the upgrade. By that time, the liquidation price will also change according to the changes in the maintenance margin rate.
