Contract maintenance margin refers to the minimum margin required to maintain a position without being forcibly liquidated.

When the account's margin rate drops to 100% (i.e., the account balance is insufficient to meet the maintenance margin requirement), the system will trigger forced liquidation to prevent greater losses.

Maintenance Margin Calculation Method

BiyaPay uses USDT-margined perpetual contracts, and its maintenance margin calculation method is as follows:

Maintenance Margin = Quantity × Mark Price × Maintenance Margin Rate

Explanation:

Mark Price: The price used by the system to calculate unrealized profit and loss, preventing abnormal liquidation caused by market manipulation.

Maintenance Margin Rate: Different leverage multiples and position sizes correspond to different maintenance margin rates.

How to check maintenance margin rate on the App:
