Leverage and Margin Explanation for USDⓈ-Margined Contracts

Leverage for USDⓈ-Margined Contracts

CoinEx USDⓈ-Margined Futures supports leverage from 1X to 100X. Traders can adjust the leverage ratio flexibly based on their needs.

1. Timing: Leverage can be adjusted after a position is opened under Cross Margin or Isolated Margin mode.

2. Restrictions:

(1) The adjusted leverage must not exceed the maximum leverage allowed for the current position size.

(2) Margin mode or leverage cannot be changed while there are unfilled orders.

3. Impact:

  • Under Cross Margin mode, adjusting leverage will trigger a recalculation of the allocated cross margin in real time. This may lead to changes in the risk ratio and the liquidation price. Traders should closely monitor risks.
  • Under Isolated Margin mode, increasing leverage will not change the liquidation price, whereas decreasing leverage will trigger a recalculation of the required margin, which may lead to a margin call, and the liquidation price may change accordingly.

 

Margin for USDⓈ-Margined Contracts

In the CoinEx USDⓈ-Margined Futures, traders are only required to deposit a percentage of funds as margin to participate in futures trading.

CoinEx supports the following two margin modes:

ModeCross MarginIsolated Margin
SourceAll available balance in the futures account is used as margin for cross-margin positions.The margin is allocated independently to each position and is isolated from other positions.
Margin CallThe cross-margin balance and the unrealized PnL of all cross-margin positions jointly form a cross-margin pool. There is no active margin call mechanism. When the risk ratio drops to 0%, liquidation will be triggered.

Additional margin must be manually added by users. The system does not automatically add margin.


 

Liquidation RiskAll positions share the same margin pool. A loss on a single position may trigger liquidation of the entire cross-margin account.Only the margin allocated to the specific position is at risk. Liquidation of one position does not affect other positions or the account balance.

 

Margin Calculation for USDⓈ-Margined Contracts

1. Position Margin

(1) Isolated Margin: Isolated Position Margin = Margin Allocated to Isolated Positions + Isolated Unrealized PNL

Where: Isolated Occupied Margin = Initial Margin + Added Margin − Reduced Margin

(2) Cross Margin: Cross Position Margin = Cross Balance + Total Unrealized PNL of All Cross Positions − Frozen Trading Fees of All Cross Orders − Frozen Margin (including fees) of All Isolated Orders

 

2. Frozen Margin

(1) One-way Position Mode: 

Frozen Margin for Pending Orders = Max [0, Current Order Qty+ Min(0, Total Qtyof Other Orders in the Same Direction with Higher Priority − Opposite Position Qty)] ÷ Order Price × (1 / Leverage + Maker Fee Rate)

(2) Hedge Mode:

Frozen Margin for Pending Orders = Current Order Qty÷ Order Price × (1 / Leverage + Maker Fee Rate)

 

3. Allocated Margin

(1) Cross Margin: Opening Qty× Mark Price ÷ Leverage

(2) Isolated Margin: Initial Margin + Added Margin − Reduced Margin

 

4. Initial Margin: Opening Qty× Average EntryPrice ÷ Leverage

 

5. Maintenance Margin: Maintenance Margin = Position Value × Maintenance Margin Rate

Where: Position Value = Mark Price × Position Size

 

6. Available Margin

(1) Cross Available Margin = Max(0, Cross Balance + Total Unrealized PNL of All Cross Positions − Total Margin Allocated to Cross Positions− Frozen Margin)

(2) Isolated Available Margin = Max (0, Cross Balance + Min (0, Total Unrealized PNL of All Cross Positions) − Total Cross Initial Margin − Frozen Margin)
