III. Tiered MMR Rules Adjustment
1. Date: 7:00 on August 18, 2020(UTC)
2. In order to further increase the position limits and enhance the market liquidity, we will adjust the tiered maintenance margin ratio rules of the Futures/swap. Details as follows:
Contract |
Basic risk limits (contracts) |
Step size to next tier (contracts) |
Basic maintenance margin ratio |
Basic initial margin ratio |
LINKUSD、LINKUSDT Futures/Swap |
10,000 |
10,000 |
1.5% |
3.0% |
Tier Calculation:
Parameters |
Formula |
Example (BTCUSDT Perpetual Swap) |
Max. contracts for a tier |
Tier-1 max. open contracts + tiers increased * step size |
Tier 3:10,000+2*10,000=30,000 |
Maintenance margin ratio for a tier |
Basic maintenance margin ratio + tiers increased * maintenance margin ratio increased |
Tier 3:1.5%+2*0.5%=2.5% |
Initial margin ratio for a tier |
Basic initial margin ratio + tiers increased * initial margin ratio increased |
Tier 3:3.0%+2*0.5%=4.0% |
Max. leverage level for a tier |
1 / initial margin ratio of the tier |
Tier 3:1 / 3.0%=33.33 |
Thank you for your support and we assure you of our best services at all times.
