How do I add margin on Pintu Pro Futures?

There are two main reasons behind the wallet separation between Pro Spot and Pro Futures.



Different Risk Profiles:&nbsp;Spot trading involves the immediate exchange of assets, while futures trading involves contracts that may be settled at a future date, often with leverage. Futures trading inherently carries more risk due to the use of leverage, which can amplify both gains and losses. By separating accounts, exchanges help traders manage and isolate the risks associated with each type of trading.



Margin Requirements:&nbsp;Futures trading typically requires the use of margin (collateral), whereas spot trading does not. Keeping these accounts separate ensures that the margin requirements for futures are maintained independently, preventing the commingling of funds and potential margin calls affecting spot holdings.

Why are the wallets between Pro Spot and Pro Futures separated?

Margin is the amount of funds an investor must deposit with an exchange to open a position for perpetual trading. This amount serves as collateral for the exchange against potential investor losses. 



Open order margin is the amount held for open orders that have not yet been executed. In other words, if you place a limit, a portion of your margin will be allocated to that order until it is filled or canceled. For example, to place a $1,000 order on a 20% initial margin (5x leverage), the margin requirement is $200. 



Maintenance margin is the amount of margin balance required in your account wallet to keep positions open. You will be liquidated if your margin balance falls below the maintenance margin. For example, to maintain a position of $1,000 with a 5% maintenance margin requirement, the margin that will be locked is $50. 



Available margin is the portion of your margin balance that is not used for maintenance or open order margins. Available margin can be used to open new positions.



Please note that the maintenance margin may vary for each leverage level. For more information, check the <a href="https://pintu.co.id/en/faq/what-is-the-maintenance-margin-percentage-in-pintu-pro-futures" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">FAQ at this link</a>.

What are Margin, Open Order Margin, Maintenance Margin, and Available Margin?

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.

Is there an Isolated or Cross option in Pro Futures?

Pintu Pro Futures currently does not offer the option to adjust the level of leverage. However, you can always increase your total margin balance to lower the effective leverage and the overall liquidation risk of your account.

How do I increase or decrease leverage at Pintu Pro Futures?

Margin usage will be considered &lsquo;danger&rsquo; when it surpasses 75%. This means your position is at risk of liquidation. Liquidation will occur when margin usage reaches 100%. 



The calculation mechanism for margin usage is as follows: 



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1024" height="134" src="https://blog.pintu.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/how-to-calculate-margin-usage-1024x134.jpg" alt="how to calculate margin usage" class="wp-image-109132" srcset="https://blog.pintu.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/how-to-calculate-margin-usage-1024x134.jpg 1024w, https://blog.pintu.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/how-to-calculate-margin-usage-300x39.jpg 300w, https://blog.pintu.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/how-to-calculate-margin-usage-768x100.jpg 768w, https://blog.pintu.co.id/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/how-to-calculate-margin-usage.jpg 1280w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure>



When margin usage enters the danger zone, you can lower it by adding more margin or closing open orders.

What does the Usage Margin in the Danger Stage Mean?

When margin usage reaches 100%, the exchange will do a pre-check before liquidating your account. If you have open orders, the exchange will cancel all your open orders to lower your margin usage level. However, if you do not have any open orders, the exchange will liquidate your futures account by taking over all open positions as well as all the remaining margin balance.

What happens when the Margin Usage (MU) indicator reaches 100%?

Because you do not have sufficient available margin. To open new positions and orders, please add your margin via <a href="https://pintu.co.id/en/faq/how-do-i-add-margin-on-pintu-pro-futures">transfer</a> or canceled your existing open orders.

Why am I not able to open a new position or place a new order?

The word PERPS in the trading pair is a symbol that indicates that the pairing is a Perpetual-based contract. In other words, it is a contract that has no expiration date.

Entry price refers to the price at which a trader opens long or short positions. 



Mark price is a reference price used for perpetual futures profit and loss valuation as well as risk management. The mark price is calculated from a weighted average of index prices from global crypto exchanges adjusted for funding. 



Liquidation price is the price point at which the exchange will liquidate a trader&rsquo;s position to prevent further losses. Before reaching the liquidation price, the exchange will give a warning through a margin call so that traders can close their positions manually or deposit additional funds.

What are entry price, mark price, and liquidation price?

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.

What is Funding & Settlements?

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.
