Futures Cross Margin Mode

In cross margin mode, your entire futures account balance is used as margin for all related positions. USDT-margined contracts share the same margin, while coin-margined contracts like ETH and BTC are settled in their own currencies. This maximizes the use of your account funds without the need for frequent transfers or position adjustments.

Better Fund Hedging for Increased Efficiency

Placing both buy and sell orders uses twice the margin, but opposing orders can offset each other, reducing the overall margin required.

Smooth Maintenance Margin Changes

Cross margin mode removes risk limits and tiers, allowing for smoother, more consistent adjustments to your maintenance margin ratio.

How do I calculate the liquidation price on KuCoin Futures?
To maintain a position, traders are required to hold a margin equal to a certain percentage of the position value, known as the maintenance margin rate. If the position margin does not meet the requirements of the maintenance margin rate, the position will be liquidated and the maintenance margin will be lost. You can view the maintenance margin rate of a contract from Contract Specification.
Mark Price, Liquidation Price, and Auto-Deposit Margin
Traditional futures contracts typically use the latest transaction price to mark positions (such as mark-to-market). This mark price is closely related to calculating unrealized PNL and liquidation. In the event of market manipulation, lack of liquidity, or fluctuations in the mark price due to changes in index prices, a liquidation will be triggered. KuCoin Futures uses fair price marking (rather than the latest transaction price) to mark contracts to avoid these issues.
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.
