The sidecar system is designed to prevent sharp fluctuations in the futures market from affecting the spot market. A buy-side sidecar on the KOSDAQ is triggered when the KOSDAQ150 futures price rises by 6% or more compared to the base price and the KOSDAQ150 index rises by 3% or more, both sustained for one minute.
