๐Ÿ›ก๏ธ Risk management and margin details

Margin calls and liquidations

The platform continuously monitors positions against margin requirements. If a trader's equity falls below the maintenance margin level, a margin call is issued. Failure to meet margin calls may lead to position liquidation to mitigate risk to the trader and platform.

Liquidity margins

Margins for liquidity providers are higher due to the increased risk of providing liquidity. These margins serve as a financial buffer against market downturns, sudden liquidity withdrawals, and heightened volatility, ensuring the stability and solvency of liquidity providers.

Profit and loss calculations

Traders can dynamically manage their portfolios with real-time profit and loss calculations based on marked-to-market values, ensuring transparency and accuracy.
