Settlement and funding will occur every 12 hours at 3pm, UTC +1. The funding rate of the contract will be based on a weighted average taken from the market price across multiple exchanges including, Huobi, Binance, and OKEx.
In another announcement today, the exchange noted an update to the pre-existing ETH and EOS perpetual swaps, noting an adjustment in leverage, now up to 100x based on a tier system:
“We will adjust the ETH & EOS perpetual swap tier system at 8:40am Jan 17, 2019 (CET, UTC+1) to meet our customers’ needs. After the adjustment, customers can place orders with a leverage up to 100x.”
With the new adjustment on the leverage level, traders can choose up to 100x leverage on ETH and EOS Perpetual Swap now – OKEx is the first mainstream exchange platform that offers such high leverage.
Although high leverage level can greatly increase profits, it as well significantly increase the risk of being force-liquidated. Traders are encouraged to fully understand the risk involved and take into consideration according to experience, objectives before placing orders.
Perpetual swaps effectively work in a similar fashion to futures contracts in which traders bet on the future price of an asset, however, in a perpetual swap, there is no expiry or delivery date with settlement occurring daily and the contract continuing, perpetually.
