Margin Trading and Simple Earn: Key Features

1. Leveraged Trading for CTC and TURBO

OKX now supports USDT-margined leveraged trading for both CTC and TURBO. This allows traders to amplify their positions using borrowed funds, increasing potential returns (and risks). The leverage tiers are dynamically adjusted based on position size and risk parameters.

Users can view real-time leverage borrowing tiers directly within the platform under “Leverage Position Tier Specifications” after logging in. These tiers define maximum borrowable amounts, maintenance margins, and liquidation thresholds.

2. Simple Earn – Grow Your Holdings Passively

Holders of CTC and TURBO can now participate in the Simple Earn program, allowing them to earn passive income by staking or lending their assets. This feature is ideal for users who prefer low-risk yield generation without active trading.

Available yields and subscription limits are subject to change based on market demand and liquidity conditions. Full details can be found in the updated OKX Simple Earn Terms & Conditions.

Perpetual Contracts: In-Depth Overview

Perpetual contracts offer traders the ability to speculate on price movements without owning the underlying asset. With no expiration date, they’re ideal for both short-term scalping and longer-term directional bets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What are perpetual contracts?

A perpetual contract is a derivative product that mimics spot prices but doesn’t expire. It allows traders to go long or short with leverage and is settled in stablecoins like USDT. A funding rate mechanism ensures the contract price stays close to the underlying index.

Q2: How is leverage applied in margin trading?

Leverage lets you control a larger position using borrowed funds. For example, with 10x leverage, a $1,000 deposit controls a $10,000 position. While it amplifies gains, it also increases liquidation risk if the market moves against you.

Q3: Can I lose more than my initial investment?

No. OKX uses isolated margin modes and automatic liquidation systems to prevent negative balances. Your maximum loss is limited to your invested margin unless you enable cross-margin settings with full account exposure.

Q4: Is there a fee for participating in Simple Earn?

There is no subscription fee. However, OKX may charge a performance fee or take a cut of earned interest depending on the specific product terms. Always review the current rate and lock-up period before enrolling.

Q5: How often is the funding rate charged?

Funding fees are exchanged every 8 hours—at 04:00, 12:00, and 20:00 UTC. Longs pay shorts (or vice versa) depending on whether the contract trades above or below the spot index.

Q6: Are these contracts available globally?

Yes, subject to regional regulatory compliance. Some jurisdictions may restrict access to leveraged products. Users should verify local regulations before trading.
