1 .Full warehouse
Also known as "cross-period margin", it refers to the use of all available balances in the account as margin to avoid forced liquidation. Any other positions that have realized profits can help add margin on losing positions. Please note that all positions are initially set to "Cross Margin" by default.
-
1 .Isolated position
The user's maximum loss is limited to the initial margin used. When a position is liquidated, any available balance will not be used to increase the margin for that position. By isolating the margin used by a position, you can limit the losses on that position to the initial margin amount, helping you when your short-term speculative trading strategy fails. When using isolated margin, you can choose the appropriate leverage. The higher the leverage, the less margin will be used for this position.

2 .Cost price: The average opening price of the current position, and the cost price will be recalculated each time a new position is added.

3 .Mark price:
The perpetual contract on this platform adopts a uniquely designed marking price marking system to avoid unnecessary forced liquidation of high-leverage products. Without this system, the mark price could deviate unnecessarily from the price index due to market manipulation or illiquidity, leading to unnecessary liquidations. This system uses the mark price as the liquidation judgment price, thereby avoiding unnecessary liquidation.
All automatic liquidation contracts use the reasonable price marking method, which only affects the liquidation price and unrealized profit, and has no effect on realized profit.
Note: This means that you may see a positive or negative unrealized profit and loss immediately after your order is executed. This happens because of the slight deviation between the mark price and the strike price. This is normal and does not mean you have lost money, but be sure to keep an eye on your liquidation price to avoid premature liquidation.

Liquidation price: When the marked price reaches the liquidation price of the position, the system will close the position. Please pay attention to the risk of the position and increase the margin or close the position in time.
-
1 .Margin: Margin = position value/leverage,
All contracts in perpetual contracts require a certain margin, and margin trading also makes your contracts have greater leverage.
In the process of margin trading, the following points need to be paid attention to.
Initial Margin: The minimum amount of margin required to open a position, and the initial margin rate (position value/position margin) also reflects your leverage.
Maintenance Margin: The minimum margin requirement for maintaining a position, below this ratio will trigger a liquidation event or a partial liquidation event.
