Announcement on OKX Contract Cooling-off Period Function Upgrade

To further ensure user trading security when using the contract cooling-off period function, OKX will upgrade the function on July 7, 2026, expanding the scope of the cooling-off period's effectiveness. Upgrade details: After this upgrade, the interception scope of the contract cooling-off period will be expanded beyond the original web and mobile app order placements to include the following order channels: REST API, WebSocket, third-party authorizations (including Broker OAuth, Agent Trade Kit, etc.), strategy orders, copy trading, trading bots, and other channels. After the upgrade, users in the contract cooling-off period will have all opening or position-increasing orders submitted through the above channels uniformly rejected. However, position-reducing and closing orders will not be affected. Please note that after enabling the cooling-off period, the new interception rules may take up to 30 seconds to take effect. For users who have already enabled the function: Users who have configured the contract cooling-off period before this upgrade will continue to use the original service, which only intercepts orders placed via the web and mobile app. These users will not be subject to the newly added interception scope. The current cooling-off period cannot be terminated early. To enjoy the full interception protection, it is recommended to re-enable the function after the current period expires. Disclaimer: The contract cooling-off period is a voluntary risk management tool and cannot guarantee the avoidance of losses or adverse outcomes. OKX assumes no responsibility for any losses or missed opportunities incurred during or due to the cooling-off period. All trading decisions and actions are entirely your personal responsibility.
