Maintenance Margin

Maintenance Margin is the minimum margin required to maintain a position. When the position's margin reaches the maintenance margin, it 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}
