4️⃣ Today's Explainer: What Is an Index Price?
💡 An index price is a reference price calculated by a platform using prices from multiple spot markets. It represents an asset's fair value across the broader market. It is not the latest trade price on any single exchange; instead, it is calculated by aggregating quotes from different exchanges and liquidity sources.
▪️ Sources: Typically, several highly liquid spot exchanges are selected as constituents, and their prices are averaged based on weighting, trading volume, or predefined rules
▪️ Filtering out anomalies: If a source's price deviates significantly from the overall market, the system will reduce its weight or temporarily exclude it
▪️ Practical uses: Commonly used for mark prices, funding rates, liquidation checks, and contract settlement, reducing the impact of abnormal prices on any single platform
If you trade futures, understanding the difference between the index price and the latest traded price can help you avoid many pitfalls.
