How to Calculate Margin When Placing Linear Contract Orders

When placing a linear contract order, the system will estimate the required margin, which includes the initial margin and trading fees needed to maintain the position.

If the order cannot be executed immediately, the initial margin and trading fees will be frozen based on the preset buying or selling prices.

 

Margin Calculation

1. Buy

Initial Margin = Buying Amount * Buying Price * Initial Margin Rate

Buying Trading Fee = Buying Amount * Buying Price * Trading Fee Rate

 

2. Sell

Initial Margin = Selling Amount * Selling Price * Initial Margin Rate

Selling Trading Fee = Selling Amount * Selling Price * Trading Fee Rate

 

Notes

1. Initial Margin Rate = 1 / Leverage * 100%.

2. Trading fee rate is determined by the corresponding Maker and Taker fee rates, please refer to Futures Trading Fee for details.

3. Linear contracts use USDT as the pricing currency, and the margin and trading amount are both calculated in USDT.
