Binance uses a sophisticated risk control system and liquidation model to support high leverage trading by adopting the Maintenance Margin model. The maximum amount of leverage available depends on the notional value of your position, the larger the position, the lower the leverage. You can adjust the leverage according to your needs and all position sizes are calculated based on the notional value of the contract (USDT or BUSD denominated). Thus, the Initial Margin is determined by the leverage you selected.
Please note that traders should first select their leverage (and fulfill the Initial Margin requirement) before opening their positions, or it will be set at 20x by default. The higher the leverage, the smaller the notional size that the trader has access to. The lower the leverage, the higher the notional size the trader can open.
Note:
- If you have open positions in Isolated Margin Mode, you are not allowed to lower the leverage.
- In Cross Margin Mode, the margin can only be shared between the same type of asset. For example, in Cross Margin Mode, all BUSD in the USDⓈ-M Futures Wallet can be used for all BUSD-margined contracts.
- The maximum position limit of each tier includes both long and short positions.

The system will display the maximum allowable position size for different tiers of leverage as shown below:
Maintenance Margin is calculated based on your positions at different notional value tiers. This means that the Maintenance Margin is always calculated in the same way, regardless of what leverage you select. Moving from one tier to another will not cause the previous tier to change its leverage. The larger the position, the higher the Maintenance Margin rate.
In most exchanges, the Maintenance Margin is usually half of the Initial Margin. At Binance, however, the Maintenance Margin is only less than half of the Initial Margin, which is more beneficial to traders.
It is important to note that the Maintenance Margin will directly affect the liquidation price. To avoid auto-deleveraging, it is highly recommended to close your positions before the collateral falls below the Maintenance Margin.
