Adjustments to Contract Risk Limits and Ticker Sizes
Dear users,
On November 3, 2022, Phemex will adjust our contract risk limits and ticker sizes. We impose risk limits to help clients manage their risks. Basically, the larger a position is, the smaller the leverage allowed. As our users grow more professional, we adjust the risk limit & leverage to allow more flexibility and better user experience. Please find our newly adjusted risk limits and ticker sizes below:
