The Maintenance Margin Ratio is the minimum margin ratio required for a user to maintain their current position. When the position's margin ratio is $\le 100\%$, a forced reduction or liquidation will be triggered.
For Isolated Margin Mode: Margin Ratio = (Position Margin + Unrealized PnL) / (Face Value * Contracts * Mark Price * (Maintenance Margin Ratio + Closing Fee Rate))
For Cross Margin Mode (Single-Asset): Margin Ratio = (Available Margin + Minimum Margin + Unrealized PnL) / (Face Value * |Net Contracts| * Mark Price * Maintenance Margin Ratio + Face Value * |Total Contracts| * Mark Price * Closing Fee Rate), where Net Contracts = Long Contracts - Short Contracts
For Cross Margin Mode (Multi-Asset): Margin Ratio = (Contract Account Balance + Unrealized PnL of All Assets) / (Maintenance Margin + Closing Fee of Each Asset), where each asset's Maintenance Margin + Closing Fee = Face Value * |Net Contracts| * Mark Price * (Maintenance Margin Ratio + Closing Fee Rate)
2. Why does CoinW implement a tiered margin rate system?
Our tiered margin rate system is adopted to avoid the impact of forced liquidation of large positions. As a rule of thumb, the larger your position and leverage ratio is, the higher your maintenance margin rate.
3. How to calculate your positions and tiers?
Under Isolated Margin Mode, your position tiers will be calculated on a per-position basis.
Under Cross Margin Mode, your position tiers will be calculated on a per-trading pair basis.
4. Maintenance Margin Rate gears for each Contract
Head to our futures trading page, click on "Trading Rules", and select the "Position Tier" tab. Note that our "Position Limit" is calculated in the number of contracts.
Liquidation & Insurance Fund
1. At CoinW, forced full or partial liquidation for futures positions will be triggered by your margin ratio dropping below 100%.
2. You can calculate the estimated liquidation price for your positions with our built-in calculator on our futures trading page.
The estimated liquidation price is for reference only. Under the cross-margin mode, since your margin ratio will be affected by all your futures positions across different trading pairs, there is no way to calculate an estimated liquidation price for each position.
3. CoinW futures implements a tiered liquidation mechanism, in which the system will try to partially liquidate a portion of a position to lower its position tier until the margin rate is over 100% again or your entire position is liquidated. This is a risk control mechanism CoinW implements to avoid large liquidation orders, causing huge impacts on market liquidity.
4. When a position reaches the liquidation trigger price, the liquidation engine will take over the position at the bankruptcy price and close it through a market order. The bankruptcy price refers to the level at which all margin in an isolated position is depleted, or the entire futures account balance in cross margin is exhausted. This price is not displayed on the candlestick chart.
5. Insurance Fund
CoinW's Insurance Fund is our futures market's financial protection, consisting of our reserve and the remainder of forced liquidation orders.
Every day at 8:00:00 (UTC), CoinW will settle all profit and loss from forced liquidation orders to the Insurance Fund in the past 24 hours in our futures market.
