Dear Poloniex Users,
To enhance your trading experience and provide superior services, Poloniex will introduce the tiered margin system on April 1, 2025, at 07:00 (UTC).
What is the Maintenance Margin?
Maintenance margin (MM) is the minimum amount of margin balance required to keep your positions open. It is typically half of the initial margin requirement.
Maintenance margin = Position value * Maintenance margin rate
When your margin balance falls below the maintenance margin level, your position will be forcibly liquidated by the system.
Traders could check each symbol's maintenance margin rates at Contract Specification.
See tiered margin details below:
