What is Initial Margin?
- Initial Margin is the minimum amount of USDT (or USDT equivalent value) you must have in your margin wallets (Cross Wallet or Isolated Wallets) in order to open a position.
- For Perpetual Contracts, BTSE sets the Initial Margin requirement at 1% of the contract price (/Notional Value).
For example: If the current market price of BTC's Perpetual Contract is $100 per contract, then the default Initial Margin is $100 x 1% = $1 (for max leverage of 100x)

What is Maintenance Margin?- Maintenance Margin is the minimum amount of USDT (or USDT Value) you must have in your margin wallets (Cross Wallet or Isolated Wallets) to keep a position open.
- For Perpetual Contracts, the Maintenance Margin Percentage is determined by your chosen risk limit level.
- When the Mark Price reaches the Liquidation Price,
- your margin will have fallen to the maintenance margin level, and your position will be liquidated, partially liquidated, or trigger a forced market buy/sell.
