KCEX Futures Trading Usage Guide (App)

Dear KCEX Users,

To assist you in better navigating futures trading on our platform, we have meticulously prepared this futures trading guide. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced trader, this guide aims to provide you with the necessary help and instructions.

1. Entering Futures Trading
First, open the KCEX APP and tap the navigation bar at the bottom to find the "Futures Trading" option. Here, you can browse and select the trading varieties you are interested in.

 

2. Capital Management
If the balance in your futures account is insufficient, you can transfer funds from your spot account to your futures account. If there is not enough money in your spot account, you will need to deposit to ensure there are adequate funds for trading.

 

 

3. Placing Orders
Submit your trading instructions in the order area, including order type (such as market order or limit order), price, and quantity. Once you confirm the details are correct, submit your order and wait for it to be executed.

 

4. Leverage Adjustment
KCEX supports up to 100x leverage, with the specific leverage multiplier depending on the trading variety chosen. By adjusting the initial margin and maintenance margin levels, you can manage your leverage ratio for flexible risk control.

Adjust the leverage multiplier: In the position information, select the direction you wish to adjust (such as long or short), manually set the new leverage multiplier, and confirm the modification.

 

5. Margin Mode
Cross Margin Mode: In this mode, all funds in the account are used as margin to support your positions. This mode carries higher risk but also allows full capital utilization.
Isolated Margin Mode: This mode allows you to set separate margins for each position, limiting the maximum loss for each position and aiding in better risk management.

 

6. Opening Positions
Buy to Open Long: If you predict the market will rise, you can buy contracts and sell them when the price goes up to profit.
Sell to Open Short: If you predict the market will fall, you can sell contracts and buy them back when the price drops to profit.

7. Order Types
KCEX offers a variety of order types to meet the needs of different trading strategies, making your trading operations more flexible and efficient.

 

 

 

(1) Limit Order: Allows you to set a specific price. The order will be executed at this price or a better price. Time in force: Good Till Cancelled (GTC).

(3) Trigger Order: Automatically places an order at a specified price when the market reaches a preset trigger price, helping users capture market opportunities or manage risk.

(4) Trailing Stop Order: Sets a trigger price that adjusts with market price movements, automatically placing an order when the market reaches this price. This order type helps users maintain profits while limiting losses.

(5) Advanced Limit: Advanced Limit Order is an order type based on Limit Order, including three time-in-force mechanisms: Maker Only, IOC (Immediate or Cancel), and FOK (Fill or Kill).

Maker Only: Maker Only means the order is placed in the market. If it immediately matches with an existing order, the order will be canceled to ensure the order role remains Maker.

IOC (Immediate or Cancel): If an IOC order cannot be executed immediately at the specified price, the unfilled portion will be canceled.

FOK (Fill or Kill): If a FOK order cannot be fully executed, the entire order will be canceled immediately.

(6) Take Profit and Stop Loss: Set take profit and stop loss prices when opening a position. When the market price reaches these levels, the position is automatically closed. This is an important risk management tool to help users lock in profits and limit losses.
