To enhance capital efficiency for basis trading in portfolio margin mode,OKX will adjust the MR4 (basis risk factor) parameters at 8:30 am UTC on July 12, 2023. The specific changes are as follows:

Underlying currency Before: maximum forward price move After: maximum forward price move
BTC and ETH 1.5% 0.6%
LTC, BCH, EOS, OKB, DOT, BSV, LINK, FIL, ADA, TRX, UNI and XRP 2% 0.8%
Others 2.5% 1%

MR4: Basis risk arises from differences in contract prices for the same underlying with different expiry dates. The futures with further away expiry dates are likely to be more volatile than the futures that are closer to expiry. It measures the risk of change in forward price across different expiry dates.
