Spot Market Opening Risk Control Rules
To protect traders during the initial phase of trading, OKX has implemented temporary risk control measures for the first 5 minutes after SAHARA/USDT spot trading goes live.
Order Limits
- Market orders are disabled during the first 5 minutes.
- Maximum limit order size per user: $10,000 equivalent.
- Maximum net position per user: $10,000 equivalent.
These restrictions are automatically lifted 5 minutes after trading commences, allowing full market functionality while ensuring stability during the critical opening phase.
Price Limit Mechanisms
Given that newly listed tokens may lack a stable market reference, OKX employs dynamic price control frameworks in two stages:
Closing Price-Based Limits (Initial Phase)
When no reliable index price is available:
- First minute: Maximum bid price = Call auction execution price × (1 + H)
- Minutes 1 to N (until index stabilizes): Max bid = Previous minute’s closing price × (1 + H)
- After minute N: No bid or ask restrictions
Note: "No limit" on ask prices prevents artificial inflation during early trading.
Index-Based Limits (Stabilized Phase)
Once a reliable index price is established:
First 10 minutes:
- Max bid: Index × (1 + X)
- Min ask: Index × (1 – X)
After 10 minutes:
- Bid cap adjusts dynamically using recent average premiums and volatility buffers (parameters Y and Z).
- Ask floor uses a similar adaptive model to prevent slippage and manipulation.
OKX reserves the right to adjust parameters N, H, X, Y, Z in real time based on market conditions, ensuring responsive risk management without prior notice.
Understanding the Call Auction Mechanism
OKX uses a call auction model for new spot listings to promote fair price discovery and reduce front-running risks.
How It Works
- The call auction for SAHARA/USDT will last 60 minutes, from 11:00 am to 12:00 pm UTC on Jun 26, 2025.
- During this window, users can place limit buy and sell orders at their preferred prices.
- The system aggregates all orders and calculates an indicative opening price that maximizes trade volume while balancing supply and demand.
Key User Rules
- Each user’s total buy order value must not exceed $50,000 USD.
In the final 5 minutes of the auction:
- New orders can still be placed.
- No modifications or cancellations are allowed—ensuring order integrity.
This mechanism prevents last-second manipulation and gives every participant equal footing.
After the auction concludes, OKX will display the project team’s opening price on the trading chart. This price is provided by Sahara AI’s team based on their valuation model and serves only as informational guidance—it does not affect actual trade execution prices determined by the auction.
