KTX Complex Orders |
Note that Complex Orders are not available on BNB Chain. |
Open Interest Limitations |
Open interest is the total size of outstanding perpetual positions for an asset that have not been settled i.e. the total size of open trades. |
Current open interest and open interest limits can be observed here: https://app.ktx.finance/trade |
Given the settlement mechanism of the KLP pool, traders are free of counterparty risk (i.e. all trades are 100% covered and traders will always be paid out in the event of a windfall). |
However, the maximum OI is limited by the protocol's total value locked. |
Long OI is limited by the amount of assets staked within the KLP pool. |
Short OI is limited by the amount of stablecoins staked within the KLP pool. |
Liquidations |
A liquidation process is triggered if the asset prices move adversely against the user. In this process, the liquidation contract will automatically close (liquidate) the user's position to prevent further losses. |
Users pay a Liquidation Feewhen a liquidation is triggered. |
A liquidation is triggered when: |
PositionCollateral / PositionSize < 0.0067 OR 0.67% |
PositionLeverage > 150x |
PositionLeverage = PositionSize / PositionCollateral |
PositionCollateral = Collateral - Losses - Borrowing Fee - Closing Position Fee |
PositionSize = PositionCollateral * PositionLeverage |
Liquidation Prices are calculated as such: |
Longs: Liquidation Price = AvgPrice / ( 1 - 0.0067 + 1/RemainingLeverage) |
Shorts: Liquidation Price = AvgPrice / ( 1 + 0.0067 - 1/RemainingLeverage) |
RemainingCollateral = Collateral - Borrowing Fee - ClosingPositionFee |
1/RemainingLeverage = RemainingCollateral/PositionSize |
The diagrams below illustrate the detailed liquidation logic and the calculation of the liquidation price. |
Borrowing fees will cause liquidation prices to change over time. Hence, it is important to monitor your liquidation price. |
Spot Swaps |
Apart from borrowing KLP assets for margin trading, traders can also use the liquidity to exchange one asset for another within the $KLP pool. |
One distinguishing feature of KTX.Finance is the ability for traders to conduct spot swaps without experiencing slippage, setting it apart from other Automated Market Makers (AMMs). |
Unlike conventional AMMs, the weightages of assets in the KLP do not influence or determine the assets' prices. |

By swapping on KTX.Finance, users pay a Swap Fee (0.20% - 0.80%). The fee paid depends on how asset balances change after the swap. |

Position Fee |
Users pay a position fee when opening / closing a trade. |
Position fees follow a linear function ranging between 0.02% and 0.10%. Position fees are designed to encourage traders to think of more trade ideas whenever possible. |
Traders can trade assets with lower utilization for lower fees. |
Traders can view Position Fees in two venues: |

Calculation of liquidation price is shown here. |
Handling of Fees and Remaining collateral: |
If the user's current collateral, minus the closing fees and liquidation fees, results in a value less than zero, the user will not be returned any collateral. |
Conversely, if the user's current collateral, after deducting closing fees and liquidation fees, remains greater than zero, the user will be returned the surplus collateral. |
Swap Fee |
Swap fees range from 0.20% to 0.80% depending on the trade size. |
The fee paid depends on how asset balances change after the swap. |
