Unlock Greater Flexibility with Cross Margin Mode on KuCoin Futures Trading
In response to the demands from seasoned traders for more advanced tools offering greater flexibility, improved risk management, and more efficient capital utilization, KuCoin has introduced Cross Margin Mode for futures trading. This feature is designed to meet these needs and empower users to manage their portfolios with greater agility.
What Is Cross Margin Mode?
Available on both the KuCoin website and app, Cross Margin Mode offers a more dynamic approach to managing margin. Unlike isolated margin mode—where each position has its own independent margin—cross margin mode shares your entire futures account balance across multiple positions. For USDT-margined contracts, the same margin is shared across positions, while coin-margined contracts, like ETH and BTC, are settled in their respective currencies, ensuring more efficient use of funds. Any profit from an open position is automatically applied to support other trades, streamlining fund management and enabling traders to act quickly on market opportunities without having to transfer funds manually.
KuCoin’s advanced risk algorithms further enhance capital efficiency, allowing traders to open larger positions while minimizing the need for frequent risk limit adjustments. Cross margin mode also provides hedging capabilities by offsetting long and short positions, which reduces overall margin requirements. The feature’s dynamic risk management ensures that positions are only liquidated when the account’s risk rate reaches 100%, offering better protection against unexpected volatility.
KuCoin’s cross margin mode enhances capital efficiency by automatically applying profits from open positions to new trades, eliminating the need to close positions or transfer funds. This seamless fund management allows traders to act swiftly on new opportunities. These capabilities make KuCoin’s cross margin mode an essential tool for traders seeking to optimize capital, increase position sizes, and maintain control in ever-changing market conditions.
KuCoin Debuts Options Trading on October 24
KuCoin has launched Options Trading on the mobile app, providing users with an advanced tool to speculate on asset price movements without needing to hold the underlying asset. Options give options buyers the right, but not the obligation, to buy (call options) or sell (put options) a specific asset at a predetermined price by a certain expiration date.
KuCoin Options Trading Features
-
Simple Operation: Just predict the market direction and choose a call (bullish) or put (bearish) option.
-
Low Capital Requirements: Participate in options trading with as little as 10 USDT.
-
High Leverage: Achieve high returns with small capital investments.
Why Trade Options on KuCoin?
With KuCoin Options, traders can control larger positions using small deposist. For example, purchasing a call option on Bitcoin (BTC) with a 1,000 USDT premium can generate returns of up to 500%, offering a cost-effective way to capitalize on market movements. Options also provide leverage without the risk of liquidation. Unlike futures contracts, where sudden price changes could trigger forced liquidation, options trading only considers the final settlement price at expiration, creating a safer environment for executing high-leverage strategies.
In addition to maximizing returns, KuCoin Options serve as an effective hedging tool. If you hold BTC in spot and anticipate a market downturn, buying put options can offset potential losses with profits from the options trade. KuCoin also offers four trading strategies—buying calls and buying puts—giving traders the flexibility to align their tactics with any market scenario. This range of strategies empowers users of all risk levels to adapt to changing conditions, making KuCoin’s options a versatile addition to any trading toolkit.
Zero-Fee Trading: Low Costs, High Rewards
To celebrate the launch, KuCoin is offering zero-fee options trading for the first month, making it easier for traders to explore this powerful tool. On top of that, participants can earn leverage trial funds and contract trial funds, lowering the cost of entry and maximizing earning potential from the start.
With Options Trading, KuCoin continues to redefine the trading experience by providing advanced tools that meet the evolving needs of the crypto community. Whether you’re seeking higher returns, effective hedging, or flexible strategies, KuCoin’s Options Trading offers the perfect solution to help you unlock new opportunities in today’s dynamic markets.
