FAQ
Q: What's the main benefit of 100x leverage?
A: It maximizes capital efficiency for small positions, allowing larger notional exposure with minimal margin.
Q: How does OKX protect users from sudden liquidations?
A: Our tiered margin system progressively increases maintenance requirements as positions grow, reducing systemic risk.
Q: Can I use 100x leverage on all position sizes?
A: No, the 100x option only applies to Tier 1 positions (≤249 contracts). Larger positions automatically adjust to lower max leverage.
Q: Is there a fee difference for high-leverage trades?
A: Maker/taker fees remain unchanged, but funding rates may factor into your position costs over time.
