Liquidation
1. Account Margin Ratio
Margin ratio = (Position size * Average entry price * Maintenance margin rate) / Net position value
Net position value = Margin + Unrealized PnL + Funding fee - Taker fee
2. Maintenance Margin
Maintenance margin (MM) is the minimum amount of margin balance required to keep your positions open.
Formula:
Maintenance margin = Position size (crypto) * Average entry price * Maintenance margin rate
3. Liquidation Trigger
Forced liquidation is automatically triggered when your account margin ratio is lower than or equal to the maintenance margin ratio (i.e., when the margin ratio rises to 100% or above).
· The liquidation process is executed within a single block to avoid price slippage risks.
4. Post-Liquidation Handling
After liquidation, any remaining margin will be transferred into the Insurance Fund.
The insurance fund is used to offset platform losses when, under extreme market conditions, liquidation losses exceed the user's initial margin (i.e. "forced liquidation" or "negative equity").
5. Notes
· Forced Liquidation/Negative Equity
They refer to situations where extreme volatility causes position losses greater than your initial margin.
· Insurance Fund
Acting as a risk control mechanism, it is designed to cover users' negative equity, ensuring system stability and overall security.
