    Initial Margin (Inverse Contract)
    bybit2024-03-27 11:53:23

    Initial Margin is the amount of collateral required to open a position for Leverage trading.

     

    To calculate the initial margin, the system will take the Contract Quantity / (Order Price x Leverage). The initial margin rate depends on the leverage used. Assuming you are using 100x leverage for 100 BTC contract value, you would only need to invest 1 BTC as your initial margin (1/100).

     

    To check the initial margin rate for your position, and the maximum leverage you can use, you may refer to the Risk limit table.



    For example:

    A trader buys 12,000 BTCUSD contracts at 8,000 USD with 50x leverage.

    = Contract Quantity / (Order Price x Leverage)

    = 12,000/(8,000×50)

    = 0.03 BTC
