Q: Can I adjust the leverage multiple in the cross-margin model?

 

By default, you leverage a position 25x. However, leverage adjustment is supported in the cross-margin model. You can adjust the leverage from 1x to 50x by increasing and reducing the positioning margin.

The system will show the leverages you adjust (i.e., cross-margin 10x) with only two decimal places reserved. When you trade again the leverage used is the leverage of your current position held. To avoid forced liquidation when the leverages are chosen is too high and the forced liquidation process is about to be triggered system will automatically increase the positioning margin using the available margin and de-leverage your position.

 

 

Q: Why is there a distinguishable difference in profit and loss before and after I close a position?

To protect the price on Bibox exchange from manipulation, Bibox calculates the unrealized profit and loss using the spot index price. When there is too huge a difference between the strike price on Bibox Exchange and spot index price, then the unrealized profit and loss of your current position are different from your actual profit and loss.

Therefore when there is too huge a difference between the strike price on Bibox Exchange and spot index price, the position you open at this time comes with the potential for huge profit and loss. In the case of Bibox exchange price deviating from the index price by 2% then the unrealized profit and loss of your short position is 2% of what your position values. If you use 40 – 50x leverages you will be exposed to the risks of force liquidation upon opening a position. Bibox exchange does not recommend users to long or short a position when there is a huge basis.
