I. Contract Margin (Initial Margin)
Contract margin (Initial Margin) refers to the minimum amount of funds required to open a position. It determines how much principal plus leverage you need to establish a contract position.
Initial Margin = Opening Price × Contract Quantity ÷ Leverage
Position Margin = Initial Margin (does not change with price fluctuations)
II. Maintenance Margin
Maintenance Margin refers to the minimum margin level that must be maintained while holding a position.
If the account margin falls below the maintenance margin, the system will trigger forced liquidation (liquidation).
Maintenance Margin = Position Value × Maintenance Margin Rate
⚠ Maintenance margin rates vary by asset and leverage tier.

It is recommended to set take-profit and stop-loss orders and manage positions responsibly.
