KAI Futures Trading – Fair Use, Risk Control & Enforcement Policy

This Futures Fair Use, Risk Control, and Enforcement Policy (the “Policy”) is part of the KAI Futures Trading Terms and applies to all users of KAI Futures products.

The Policy is designed to help maintain fair and orderly markets, ensure platform stability, and protect all users by preventing activities that could create undue risk for the platform or the trading community.

1. General Principles

KAI Futures is intended for legitimate trading based on risk and price discovery.
Users should trade in a fair, orderly, and good-faith manner.
Activities that bypass, exploit, or compromise KAI’s risk controls, market systems, or operational safeguards are not allowed.
KAI may monitor, review, or take appropriate action—including restrictions, suspensions, or account closure—to maintain a safe and fair trading environment.

2.Account-Based Risk Management

2.1 Single-Account Risk Framework

Risk controls, including:

Margin requirements.
Leverage limits.
Position limits.
Liquidation rules.
Funding mechanisms.

are applied on a per-account basis, unless otherwise specified.

Users are responsible for ensuring that their trading accurately reflects the risk associated with their positions.

3.Prohibited Coordinated and Hedging Activities

3.1 Cross-Account Hedging and Coordinated Trading

Users should not engage in coordinated Futures trading across multiple accounts that they own, control, or are otherwise related. This includes, but is not limited to:

Opening long and short positions on the same or closely correlated contracts across different accounts.
Using multiple accounts to offset, neutralize, or artificially reduce market risk.
Circumventing margin, leverage, position, or liquidation limits.
Transferring risk between accounts in a way that is inconsistent with normal trading.

Such behavior may be considered cross-account hedging, self-trading, or risk-free arbitrage, whether positions are opened manually or through automated systems.

3.2 Intent and Effect Standard

When evaluating whether an activity is prohibited, KAI may consider both:

The intent behind the trading activity.
The actual or potential impact on market integrity, platform stability, or other users.

An activity may still be considered prohibited even if the user intended it for risk management or hedging purposes.

3.3 Permitted Hedging Within a Single Account

KAI may allow users to hold opposing positions within a single account (e.g., using hedge mode), provided that:

Independent margin requirements are met.
Standard liquidation and funding rules are followed.
Applicable position and risk limits are respected.

This feature does not allow or imply permission to replicate similar positions or exposures across multiple accounts.

4. Abuse of Futures Risk Control Mechanisms

Users should not exploit or attempt to exploit any Futures risk control mechanisms, including:

Liquidation engines.
Insurance funds.
Auto-Deleveraging (ADL) systems.
Funding rate mechanisms.
Margin calculation or settlement logic.

Attempts to shift losses to the platform or other users, or to create positions with artificially limited risk, may result in enforcement actions to maintain a fair and safe trading environment.

5.Detection and Monitoring

KAI uses automated and manual monitoring to identify unusual or potentially abusive trading behavior, including analysis of:

Account relationships and connections.
Trading patterns and order timing.
Position correlations and exposure profiles.
Asset flows and funding movements.
Device, network, and behavioral indicators.

KAI’s determination of whether accounts are related or activities are coordinated is made to maintain a fair and safe trading environment and is considered final.

6.Enforcement Measures

If KAI identifies activity that violates this Policy or poses a risk to the platform, it may take one or more of the following actions:

Restrict or disable Futures trading.
Adjust leverage or position limits.
Close open positions at prevailing market prices.
Reverse, cancel, or correct transactions.
Deduct profits, rebates, or incentives earned from such activities.
Temporarily or permanently suspend accounts.
Impose permanent Futures trading restrictions.

Enforcement actions may be applied as needed, sometimes without prior notice, and may also address past activity to maintain a fair and stable trading environment.

7.No Circumvention

Users should not attempt to bypass this Policy by:

Using multiple or proxy accounts.
Engaging third parties to trade on their behalf.
Using automated systems to disguise coordinated activity.
Transferring assets to hide account connections.

Such actions may be treated as serious violations to help maintain fair trading and platform integrity.

8.Risk Disclosure and No Liability

Users acknowledge that:

Futures trading carries significant risk and may result in the loss of all margin.
Enforcement actions could lead to the closure of positions at prevailing market prices.
KAI is not responsible for any losses, damages, or missed opportunities resulting from actions taken under this Policy.

9.Amendments and Final Authority

KAI may update or amend this Policy from time to time.
Interpretations, decisions, and enforcement actions under this Policy are made at KAI’s discretion and are considered final, except where applicable law provides otherwise.

10.Acceptance

By using KAI Futures, users confirm that they have read, understood, and agree to follow this Policy.
