📎 Contract Trading | Maintenance Margin and Leverage Tiers
· Key point: Margin balance equals account balance plus unrealized PnL. As unrealized losses grow, margin balance falls and the margin ratio rises.
· How it works: In an isolated-margin position, the difference between initial margin and maintenance margin is roughly how much unrealized loss the position can withstand.
· In practice: When the margin ratio rises quickly, consider reducing your position first rather than blindly adding more margin to your account to tough it out.
