Risk Disclaimer

When the index component is adjusted, it may cause the mark price fluctuation of the index and the corresponding margin and contract trading. Users' maintenance margin ratio may increase because of the recent market volatility and the tier adjustment.

To prevent forced liquidation caused by the adjustment, please decrease the actual leverages by operations such as closing out and increasing margins.

Thank you for your continued support and we assure you our best services at all times.
