Margin

Margin is the amount of collateral you set aside to open and maintain a leveraged position on Marks. Every position uses isolated margin, meaning each trade has its own dedicated collateral and risk.

This ensures that losses on one position do not affect the margin of your other positions

How Margin Works

When you open a trade, you choose the leverage you want to use. Higher leverage means lower upfront margin required, while lower leverage means higher upfront margin required

Your required margin depends on:

• The size of your position

• The market price

• The leverage you select

As the market moves, your unrealized PnL automatically updates the margin health of that position. If the margin for that position falls too low, the trade becomes at risk of liquidation. See the liquidations section for more details
