Key features

Settled in crypto or USDT
OKX crypto-margined expiry contracts are settled in cryptocurrencies and enable hedging and risk management by providing exposure to various crypto assets.
OKX USDT-margined expiry contracts are settled in USDT, allowing users to trade without having to hold the underlying asset.

Expiration date
All expiry futures contracts have a delivery date. The delivery price is determined by averaging the price index at each second over the final hour before delivery.

Index price
USDT-margined expiry contracts use the underlying USDT index, and crypto-margined expiry contracts use the underlying USD index. In order to keep index prices in line with the spot market, we use prices from at least three mainstream exchanges, and adopt a special mechanism to ensure that the index price fluctuation is within the normal range when the price on a single exchange deviates significantly.

Price range
OKX adjusts the price range for each order based on the spot price and futures price of the last minute, in an effort to prevent unscrupulous traders from maliciously disrupting the market.

Mark price
In the event of extreme price fluctuations, OKX uses the mark price as a reference to prevent liquidation due to a single abnormal transaction.

Tiered maintenance margin level
The maintenance margin level is the minimum margin level to maintain a position. When the equity is lower than the maintenance margin + trading fee, positions will be reduced or closed. OKX adopts a tiered maintenance margin level mechanism, i.e., for users with larger positions, the maintenance margin level will be higher and the maximum leverage will be lower.

One-way and hedge mode
In One-way mode, users can only hold positions in one direction under the same margin mode and instrument. For example, if a user holds a long position of 10 contracts in BTCUSDT-31MAY24 and places an order to sell 5 contracts, the position shall become 5 contracts after the order has been filled.

In Hedge mode, users can hold both long and short positions under the same margin mode and instrument at the same time. For example, if a user holds a long position of 10 contracts in BTCUSDT-31MAY24 and places an order to sell 5 contracts, the user will have a long position of 10 contracts and a short position of 5 contracts after the order has been filled.

Settlement mechanism
Settlement will happen daily at 08:00 am UTC. Upon settlement, the position’s settlement PnL will be credited to your account balance, and the position’s entry price will be updated to the last settlement price. The position’s floating PnL will be calculated based on the updated entry price. You won’t be charged any fees for settlement and your position size won’t be affected. The settlement price is calculated by averaging the mark prices from the last hour before settlement. Note that these updates to settlement are only applicable to cross-margin positions. More information on the settlement rules can be found here.
