Formulas
This document defines the trading rules and calculation methodology for futures contracts on the exchange1 Global platform. All contracts on this platform are margined, priced and settled in USDT. It covers margin modes, order entry, fees, funding and the liquidation logic applied to every position.
- Applies to all USDT-margined perpetual and futures contracts on the Global platform.
- Covers both Cross and Isolated margin modes.
- Defines order-entry cost checks, fee and funding calculations, and liquidation pricing.
- All Monetary figures are shown in USDT with the INR equivalent alongside, converted at the INR Rate.
2. Key Concepts & Account Parameters
The following parameters drive every calculation in this document. Users should understand each before placing an order.
| Parameter | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Available Balance | Free margin in the account available to open new positions. |
| Leverage | Multiplier applied to margin to determine position size. |
| Mark Price | Fair price used for P&L and liquidation, independent of last trade. |
| Opening / Average Price | Entry price of the position. |
| Contract Direction | +1 for Long, −1 for Short. |
| Contract Unit / Face Value | Underlying amount represented by one contract. |
| Quantity | Number of contracts (or token quantity) held. |
| Fee Rate | Trading commission rate applied to notional value. |
| Risk Ratio | Maintenance threshold; liquidation triggers when the margin ratio falls below it |
3. Margin Modes
3.1 Cross Margin
In Cross margin mode the entire available account balance backs all open positions. Profit on one position can offset loss on another, and liquidation is assessed at the account level.
(Available Balance + (Total Floating P&L − Total Required Commission Fees))
÷ Total Margin Used for Open Positions < Risk Ratio
Cross Risk Ratio (Account Balance + Total Floating P&L − Total Commission Fees) ÷ Total Used Margin × 100%
3.2 Isolated Margin
In Isolated margin mode each position is backed only by the margin allocated to it. A loss is capped at that position's margin and cannot draw on the rest of the account.
(Position Margin + Unrealized P&L − Estimated Closing Fees) ÷ Position Margin < Risk Ratio
(Margin + Floating P&L − Estimated Closing Fee) ÷ Margin
4. Order Entry & Cost Calculation
When a user submits an order, the platform validates affordability by computing the margin, fees and total cost of the position, then the maximum number of contracts the available balance can support.
4.1 Available Margin After Fee Reservation
Available Margin = Available Balance ÷ (1 + Leverage × Fee Rate)
4.2 Position Value
Contract Quantity × Mark Price (USDT)
4.3 Cost & Fees
Cost = (Face Value × Quantity × Opening Price ÷ Leverage) × (1 + Fee Rate × Leverage) (USDT)
Opening Price × Quantity × Unit Conversion × Fee Rate (USDT)
4.4 Maximum Contracts
Max Contracts = ROUNDDOWN( Available Balance ÷ Total Cost per Contract )
4.5 Worked Example
Using the Global order-entry parameters: Available Margin 8.85 USDT, Leverage 72×, Fee Rate 0.05%, Price 60,000, Size 0.001 per contract.
| Step | Value (USDT) |
|---|---|
| Available margin after fee reserve = 8.85 ÷ (1 + 72 × 0.0005) | 8.5425 |
| Position size = 60,000 × 0.001 × 1 | 60.00 |
| Cost per contract = (0.001 × 60,000 ÷ 72) × (1 + 0.0005 × 72) | 0.8633 |
| Fee = 0.001 × 60,000 × 0.0005 | 0.030 |
| Total cost per contract | 0.8933 |
| Max contracts = ROUNDDOWN(8.85 ÷ total cost) | 9 |
| Resulting size = 9 × 0.001 | 0.009 |
5. Complete Calculation Formula Reference
The full set of platform formulas is listed below for reference. All monetary values are expressed in USDT.
(Available Balance + (Total Floating P&L − Total Required Commission Fees)) ÷ Total Margin Used for Open Positions < Risk Ratio
(Position Margin + Unrealized P&L − Estimated Closing Fees) ÷ Position Margin < Risk Ratio
Liq Price = Mark Price − Contract Direction × (Available Balance + All Position Floating P&L − All Opening Fees − All Position Margin × Risk Ratio) ÷ (|Contract Quantity Difference| × Contract Face Value)
(Account Balance + Total Floating P&L − Total Commission Fees) ÷ Total Used Margin × 100%
(Margin + Floating P&L − Estimated Closing Fee) ÷ Margin
Margin × Leverage × Commission Rate (USDT)
Overnight Fee = Margin × Overnight Rate ÷ Leverage (USDT)
Position Value × Funding Rate (USDT)
Contract Quantity × Mark Price (USDT)
Used Margin = Quantity × Contract Unit × Opening Price ÷ Leverage (USDT)
Quantity = Margin × Leverage ÷ (Contract Unit × Opening Price)
Floating P&L = (Mark Price − Average Opening Price) × Token Quantity × Contract Direction × Contract Face Value (USDT)
Cost = (Face Value × Quantity × Opening Price ÷ Leverage) × (1 + Fee Rate × Leverage) (USDT)
Profit/Loss Ratio = Floating P&L ÷ Margin × 100%
Fee = Opening Price × Quantity × Unit Conversion × Fee Rate (USDT)
Estimated Closing Fee = Fee Rate × Order Quantity × Contract Face Value × Estimated Execution Price (or: Leverage × Margin × Fee Rate) (USDT)
Realized P&L + Closing Fee = Closing P&L (in App)
Liq Price = ((0.1 × Position Margin − Position Margin + Estimated Closing Fee) ÷ (Quantity × Face Value × Contract Direction)) + Opening Price
(Margin + Floating P&L − Estimated Closing Fee) ÷ Margin
Realized P&L = (Closing Price − Opening Price) × Base Size × Direction (USDT)
6. Liquidation in Detail
6.1 Cross Margin Liquidation Price
Liq Price = Mark Price − Contract Direction × (Available Balance + All Position Floating P&L − All Opening Fees − All Position Margin × Risk Ratio) ÷ (|Contract Quantity Difference| × Contract Face Value)
Where: Position Floating P&L = (Mark Price − Open Price) × Quantity × Direction × Face Value; and Opening Fee = Quantity × Open Price × Face Value × Fee Rate.
Worked example — Cross
BTCUSDT long, 1 contract of size 0.001, entry 67,070, mark 67,200.3, leverage 75×, available 16.85 USDT, risk ratio 10%.
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Symbol / Direction | BTCUSDT / Long (+1) |
| Open Price | 67,070 |
| Mark Price | 67,200.3 |
| Leverage | 75× |
| Open / Close Fee Rate | 0.01% / 0.03% |
| Risk Ratio | 10% |
| Cross Liquidation Price (USDT) | 50,438.4 |
6.2 Isolated Margin Liquidation Price
Liq Price = ((0.1 × Position Margin − Position Margin + Estimated Closing Fee) ÷ (Quantity × Face Value × Contract Direction)) + Opening Price
Worked example — Isolated
Isolated long, entry 80,585.8, size 0.001, leverage 120×, maintenance ratio 0.1, fee rate 0.05%.
| Parameter | USDT |
|---|---|
| Open Price | 80,585.8 |
| Position Margin = 80,585.8 × 0.001 ÷ 120 | 0.6715 |
| Open Fee = 80,585.8 × 0.001 × 0.05% | 0.0403 |
| Est. Close Fee = 0.001 × 80,585.8 × 0.05% | 0.0403 |
| Maintenance Ratio | 0.10 |
| Isolated Liquidation Price (price level — same on both) | 80,021.7 |
7. Fees & Funding
| Fee Type | Formula |
|---|---|
| Commission (open/close) | Margin × Leverage × Commission Rate (USDT) |
| Overnight Fee | Overnight Fee = Margin × Overnight Rate ÷ Leverage (USDT) |
| Funding Fee | Funding Fee = Position Value × Funding Rate (USDT) |
| Estimated Closing Fee | Estimated Closing Fee (INR) = Quantity × Latest Price × Contract Face Value × Fee Rate (USDT) |
8. Risk Disclaimer
Futures trading involves substantial risk and can result in the loss of your entire margin. Leverage magnifies both gains and losses. The formulas and worked examples in this document are provided for transparency and education; actual fills, fees, mark prices and liquidation events are determined by the live matching and risk engines at the moment of execution. Users are responsible for understanding these mechanics and trading within their means.
