Maintenance Margin

Maintenance Margin is the minimum margin required to maintain a position. When the position's margin reaches the maintenance margin due to funding, forced closure occurs even if the position is profiting. (Varies by contract) When the position's margin reaches the maintenance margin because of the negative UPNL, the position is liquidated. MCS sets a default maintenance margin rate of 0.35% for BTC/USDT perpetual contracts and changes depending on the risk limit. The maintenance margin rate can be found in the Contract Details tab.

<Maintenance Margin Example>

David buys 10,000 BTC/USDT contracts at 50x leverage when the price is 5,000 USDT. The position's maintenance margin is as follows.

\begin{align} \scriptsize\textsf{Maintenance Margin}&\scriptsize={\textsf{Quantity}\over\textsf{Order Price격}}\times\textsf{Maintenance Margin Rate}\\ \tiny\\&\scriptsize= {\textsf{5,000}\over\textsf{2,000}}\times\textsf{0.0035} = \textsf{0.00875 BTC}\end{align}
