Futures contract design OKEx
The OKEx futures contract does not apply to any particular currency. It means not restricted by regulations and allows investors of any country or region to enter into a transaction.

Traditional OKEx futures are denominated in USD. Each contract represents a certain amount in BTC. The biggest problem of this contract is that the leverage varies sharply due to price fluctuations, so it is difficult to hedge the risk and price difference, especially for long-term contracts.

OKEx adjusted the contract value to US $ 100 for BTC, allowing fixed leverage to support hedging and price differences.

This design helps stabilize profits or losses: invest $ 100, profit / loss will be $ 100 * BTC price fluctuation * fixed leverage.

For example, the current price of the BTC is $ 500. An investor with a capital of 500 USD buy 1 BTC at the current price and open 50 Long contracts. When the BTC increases to $ 750 (~ 50%), the profit of the contract will be 3.3333 BTC. If the investor sells the contract, they can receive a profit of $ 2,500 (five times the capital). When the BTC increases to $ 1,000, the profit of the contract will be 5 BTC. Profit will be $ 2,500 after the sale of the contract (10 times the capital). Leverage is always stable regardless of price fluctuations.
