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?

Liquidation happens when margin usage reaches a 100% level. Therefore, to avoid liquidation, the trick is to make sure your margin usage does not reach 100%. Here are three ways to lower your margin usage: First, you can increase your margin balance. Second, you can cancel your open orders. Third, you can close the position at risk of reaching the liquidation price.

How to avoid being liquidated?

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?

Market close is an instruction to close a position based on the best price in the order book (real-time). Limit close is an instruction to close a position automatically when the asset reaches a specified target price.

What are Market Close and Limit Close?
