HTX Futures Liquidation Indicators Adjustment

1.Key Takeaways

HTX will adjust and upgrade the naming of a few liquidation-related indicators in futures trading. The key change is the adoption of the commonly used term "maintenance margin" in calculating the liquidation indicator.

Please note the upgrade does not involve the change of the underlying calculations in futures trading.

2.Upgrades of UX Fields

(1)HTX app 

 

1) Replace the field "Position Margin" with "Initial Margin";

2) Fields of Available and Avg. Price are deleted;

3) Take Profit and Stop Loss are merged into TP/SL;

4) Add term "Margin ratio", which is calculated as below:

Margin ratio (Isolated) = Maintenance margin ratio * Leverage for opening the position * Initial margin (Position margin) *100% / Isolated position equity

Margin ratio (Cross) = Maintenance margin ratio * Leverage for opening the positions * ∑All cross margin futures (Used margin) * 100% /(Account equity - ∑All isolated margin futures (Used margin)

(Margin ratio = Maintenance Margin * 100% / Position Equity; Your position will be liquidated)

(2)HTX website

1)Positions Zone

 

  • Replace the field "Position Margin" with "Initial Margin";

(Margin ratio = Maintenance Margin * 100% / Position Equity; Your position will be liquidated)

 

2)Assets Zone


  • Delete fields: Coverage Ratio and Adjustment Factor

Maintenance margin (Isolated) = Maintenance margin ratio * Leverage for opening the position * Position margin assets

Maintenance margin (Cross ) = ∑Maintenance margin ratio * Leverage for opening the position * Used margin assets by all cross margin futures
