Winter Time: UTC+8 Monday 00:00 to Saturday 08:30
Summer Time: UTC+8 Monday 00:00 to Saturday 07:30

During holidays and market closures, trading functions are suspended, and orders cannot be placed or closed.

2) Operations During Market Closure: During market closure, you can cancel unfilled orders or add margin, but cannot place new orders or close positions. If concerned about price fluctuations affecting your position, we recommend closing positions before market closure.

3) Funding FeesDescription: US Stock perpetual futures are currently exempt from funding fees.

4) Overnight and Opening Risks: The fair price at market opening may significantly differ from the previous closing price, and holding overnight positions carries elevated risks. Please manage risks proactively.

5) LeverageRisk Warning: US Stock Futures support leveraged trading. Leverage amplifies both profits and losses, with risks of liquidation and account deficit. Please select leverage ratios carefully.

6) Individual Stock Special Event Handling: When individual stocks undergo special events such as ex-dividend distributions, reverse splits, or stock splits, stock prices may experience significant volatility. The platform will implement an early settlement plan to uniformly settle user positions. Normal trading will resume post-settlement. Please monitor related announcements.

Notes:

1) Ex-Dividend Distribution: Listed companies distribute profits to shareholders in cash or stock form and adjust the stock price on the ex-dividend date.

2) Stock Split: Increases the number of outstanding shares, reduces the price per share, and enhances liquidity, typically reflecting the company's confidence in future performance.

3) Reverse Split (also known as share consolidation or reverse stock split): Reduces the number of outstanding shares and increases the price per share, commonly used when stock prices are low to avoid delisting or increase earnings per share.

4. MEXC US Stock Futures FAQ

4.1 How is the fair price calculated?

The fair price is pegged to the ONDO tokenized US stock spot index price and may differ from real-time actual US stock prices.

4.2 How are funding fees charged?

Unlike standard perpetual futures, US Stock Futures currently do not charge funding fees.

4.3 How is PNL calculated?

US Stock Futures trading PNL is fundamentally based on price differentials (Note: leverage amplifies PNL, and actual gains or losses depend on leverage ratio and position size).

Calculation Formula: PNL = (Closing Price - Opening Price) × Contract Multiplier × Number of Shares Traded × Direction Coefficient (Long is +1, Short is -1)

Examples:

1) Long Profit: Purchase 1 share of Apple (AAPL) at $100, contract multiplier is 1, and close the position when the price rises to $105.

Profit = (105 - 100) × 1 × 1 = $5

2) Short Profit: Sell 1 share of Tesla (TSLA) at $200 and close the position when the price drops to $195.

Profit = (195 - 200) × 1 × 1 × (-1) = $5
