Maintenance Margin

In an account's particular currency assets, this is the amount of margin for the current perpetual contract positions. There is generally a minimum requirement for the maintenance margin. If it falls below this minimum, it triggers a forced liquidation.

Margin Ratio

Margin Ratio = (Initial Margin + Unrealized Profit/Loss in the Position) / (Maintenance Margin Required for the Position Size + Liquidation Fees). The platform's current minimum margin ratio is 0.50%.

  1. Minimum Maintenance Margin = Position Size * Mark Price * Maintenance Margin Ratio + Estimated Liquidation Fees.

  2. The typical maintenance margin ratio is usually around 0.50%.

  3. After liquidation of a specific currency, the balance in the user's Exchange Wallet and other positions will not be affected.
