Margin&nbsp;is the amount of funds a trader deposits with an exchange as collateral to open a position in&nbsp;perpetual trading. This collateral serves as protection for the exchange against potential losses from the trader&rsquo;s position.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="1-margin-balance">1. Margin Balance</h2>



Your Margin Balance is the total amount of funds in your Futures wallet, including:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Available Margin (funds you can still use to open order)</li>



<li>Locked Margin (used for positions or open orders)</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="2-open-order-margin">2. Open Order Margin</h2>



This is the amount of margin temporarily locked for pending orders (including limit and stop orders that have not been executed yet).



&#128161; Example (25x Leverage):



You place a $1,000 limit order with 4% IM = $40 (&asymp; Rp644,280) locked as Open Order Margin.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="3-maintenance-margin-mm">3. Maintenance Margin (MM)</h2>



This is the minimum margin required to keep a position open. If your account value drops below the MM threshold, the system will liquidate your position to avoid further loss.



&#128161; Example (25x Leverage, 1% MM):



For a $1,000 position, MM required = $10



If your margin balance falls under this, the position gets liquidated.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="4-available-margin">4. Available Margin</h2>



This is your free-to-use margin, the funds not currently locked in open positions or open orders.



You can use Available Margin to:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Open new positions</li>



<li>Cover fees or funding payments</li>



<li>Place new open orders</li>
</ul>



Your Available Margin depends on whether the Initial Margin Buffer feature is ON or OFF.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">



<h3 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="when-initial-margin-buffer-is-on">&#9881;&#65039; When Initial Margin Buffer is ON</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>In addition to the Maintenance Margin, a larger portion of your margin is locked for open positions.</li>



<li>This provides extra safety, as your position has a buffer before reaching the liquidation threshold.</li>



<li>As a result, your Available Margin will be smaller, but your account is less likely to be liquidated suddenly during volatility.</li>
</ul>



&#128161; Example (25x Leverage, Initial Margin Buffer ON):



Opening a $1,000 position &rarr; $40 locked. ($10 + $30 Initial Margin Buffer)



If your margin balance is $100, your available margin = $60.



&rarr; More margin locked = less available, but safer.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">



<h3 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="when-im-buffer-is-off">&#9881;&#65039; When IM Buffer is OFF</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Only the minimum Maintenance Margin (MM) is locked for open positions.</li>



<li>You&rsquo;ll have more Available Margin to open new trades.</li>



<li>However, this means less protection, your position can hit liquidation faster if the market moves against you.</li>
</ul>



&#128161; Example (25x Leverage, IM Buffer OFF):



The same $1,000 position will only lock 1% as MM = $10.



If your margin balance is $100, your available margin = $90.



&rarr; More available margin = more flexibility, but higher risk.



<hr class="wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity">



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="5-margin-usage">5. Margin Usage</h2>



Margin Usage is the percentage of your margin balance currently being used for:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Open positions</li>



<li>Open order margin</li>



<li>Maintenance margin</li>
</ul>



&#128200; High Margin Usage &rarr; Higher risk of liquidation, less room for market movement.



&#128201; Low Margin Usage &rarr; More available margin, more flexibility to open new positions.



Margin Usage = 100% &rarr; No available margin left, your position will be liquidated.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="6-effective-leverage">6. Effective Leverage</h2>



Effective Leverage shows how much exposure you&rsquo;re taking compared to your actual margin.



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
Effective Leverage = Position Size / Margin Balance
</blockquote>



&#128161; Example:



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>You open a $1,000 position</li>



<li>Margin balance = $100 &rarr; Effective Leverage = 10x</li>
</ul>



&#9888;&#65039; Note: Even if you select 25x leverage, your effective leverage might be lower if you have excess margin. Always monitor this to manage your risk.

A contract is a legal agreement to buy or sell a specific commodity asset at a predetermined price at a specified time. This contract is known as a futures contract. Contracts that are not tied to a particular time are known as perpetual contracts.

What is contract?

Funding rates is the rate used to determine the funding settlement in perpetual futures contracts, given the absence of an expiration date. Funding rates ensure that the funding mechanism tether the futures price to the mark price. This alignment aims to prevent price divergence between the two markets.



Please refer to this <a href="https://pintu.co.id/en/academy/post/what-is-the-funding-rate">link</a> for a more in-depth explanation of funding rates.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="what-is-funding-settlements">What is Funding &amp; Settlements?</h2>



Funding settlement is a periodic payment made between long and short positions holders based on the prevailing funding rate.



Funding settlements are made every 8-hour interval at 7:00 WIB, 15:00 WIB, and 23:00 WIB. If the funding rate is positive, traders with long positions will pay those with short positions. If the funding rate is negative, traders with short positions will pay traders with long positions.



Users will only pay or receive funding if they have a position when the settlement happens. You will not pay or receive funding if you close your position before the funding settlement.



<h2 class="wp-block-heading joli-heading" id="whats-the-funding-rate-on-pintu-futures">What&rsquo;s the Funding Rate on Pintu Futures?</h2>



The Funding Rate at Pintu Futures is dynamic and depends on market conditions. The rate is influenced by the demand for a particular crypto.



You can view the current funding rate on the trading page of each contract pair on &ldquo;Funding&rdquo; menu.

What is Funding Rate?

To understand perpetual trading, we must first grasp the concept of derivatives. A derivative is a financial instrument whose value is derived from an underlying asset, in this case, a cryptocurrency.



In traditional derivative products such as futures contracts, each contract has an expiration date. On the other hand, perpetual trading is a contract with no expiration date. This means that traders can hold long or short positions for as long as they desire.
