Margin Tiers

Margin Tiers define how maximum leverage and maintenance margin requirements scale with position size. Larger positions require lower leverage and higher margin.

How it works

• Smaller positions → higher max leverage, lower maintenance margin rate

• Larger positions → lower max leverage, higher maintenance margin rate

This protects both traders and the platform from excessive concentration risk on large positions. As your position size grows, you may move into a higher tier with stricter requirements.

Maintenance margin calculation

Maintenance Margin = Position Notional × MMR

Where:

• Position Notional = Position Size × Mark Price

• MMR = Maintenance Margin Rate (varies by tier — published per market)
