Notes:
- In Cross margin mode, WB is crossWalletBalance
- In Isolated margin mode, WB is isolatedWalletBalance of the isolated position, TMM=0, UPNL=0, substitute the position quantity, MMR, cum into the formula to calculate.
- Under the cross margin mode, the same ticker/symbol, both long and short position share the same liquidation price except in the isolated mode. Under the isolated mode, each isolated position will have different liquidation prices depending on the margin allocated to the positions.
- If the liquidation price is less than 0, the UI display would be “–”
Maintenance Margin Rate
You can find the “Maintenance Margin Rate” from the table below with the position value in USDT.
For example, if the position size of a USDT-margined BTCUSDT contract is 264,000 USDT, then the maintenance margin rate would be 1% (or 0.01).
Note:
If your position (calculated at the liquidation price) and the current position (calculated at the opening price) are of different levels, then you must substitute (i.e. to calculate at the liquidation price) the maintenance margin rate and the maintenance margin amount of the position level, to recalculate the liquidation price.
Maintenance Amount
You can find the “Maintenance Amount” from the table below with the position value in USDT. For example, if the position size of a USDT-margined BTC/USDT Contract is 500,000 USDT, then the maintenance amount would be 1,300 USDT.
Maintenance Amount formula
= [ Floor of Position Bracket on Level n * difference between Maintenance Margin Rate on Level n and Maintenance Margin Rate on Level n-1) ] + Maintenance Amount on Level n-1
For example, the Maintenance Amount on Level 3
= 250,000 * (1% – 0.5%) + 50 USDT
= 1,300 USDT
