Margin Tiers

Margin Tiers define how maximum leverage and maintenance margin requirements change based on your position size. Larger positions require lower leverage and higher margin to manage risk.

How Margin Tiers Work

TxFlow uses a tiered margin system:

• 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 risk on large positions.

💡 Key Concept: As your position size increases, you may move into a higher tier with stricter margin requirements.

Maintenance Margin

Maintenance Margin (MM) is the minimum collateral required to keep a position open. If your equity falls below this level, your position may be liquidated.

Maintenance Margin = Position Notional × MMR

Where:

• Position Notional = Position Size × Mark Price

• MMR = Maintenance Margin Rate (varies by tier)
