Bitget to update maintenance margin and estimated liquidation price calculations for classic account futures

2025-11-07 09:006682

To enhance the futures trading experience, Bitget will upgrade the calculation logic for maintenance margin and estimated liquidation price in classic account mode on November 10, 2025, at 8:00:00 AM (UTC). This upgrade aims to improve users' capital efficiency. Details are as follows:

1. This upgrade does not apply to existing positions opened before November 10, 2025, 8:00:00 AM (UTC).

2. New positions opened after November 10, 2025, 8:00:00 AM (UTC) will use the new calculation logic. The new formula uses a tiered calculation method to calculate maintenance margin, effectively reducing margin requirements and improving capital utilization.

3. Scope of changes:

Classic account futures in single-asset mode (cross margin), including both hedged and one-way positions

Classic account futures in single-asset mode (isolated margin)

Classic account futures in multi-asset mode

Note: The change in margin calculation will also affect the formula used to calculate the estimated liquidation price.

3. Operational guide

Update your app to the latest version (Android/iOS v2.66.0+). If your version is below v2.66.0, key metrics such as maintenance margin rate and estimated liquidation price on the app may be inaccurate.

Head to Futures Account > Position Details to view the updated metrics.

We recommend testing the new calculation logic in demo trading before moving to live trading.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact customer service if you have any questions. Thank you for your support and understanding.
