Actual Trading

 

Margin Type

Fixed Margin: only support the trading token and pricing token as the margin.

Cross Margin:support all tokens as the margin to avoid being forced to trade for other tokens.

 

Risk Rate calculation

Fixed Margin:Each trading pair can be seen as a single position, and the risk rate is calculated independently based on the total assets and total borrowing amount of that trading pair, independent from other trading pairs.

Cross Margin:The cross margin account can be taken as a position, and the risk rate is calculated according to the total assets and the total amount borrowed in the account. There will only be one risk rate.

 

Liquidation price

Fixed Margin: Estimated liquidation price = (The borrowed pricing token*liquidation risk rate-current amount of pricing token)/(current amount of trading token-the amount of borrowed token* liquidation risk rate)

Cross Margin: There is only a risk rate, no liquidation price because multiple tokens can be taken as margin.

 

Borrowing Rules

Fixed Margin: only support borrowing current trading token and pricing token.

Cross Margin: support borrowing all tokens in cross margin account.

 

You can choose different leverage designs according to your preference in actual trading. Please refer to “Margin Trading Rules – Fixed Margin” and“Margin Trading Rules- Cross Margin” for more details.
