This article provides definitions of key terms and mathematical formulas used in the Unified Trading Wallet system. Understanding these concepts will help you better manage your account, assess risk, and make informed trading decisions.
The total nominal value of all assets in your wallet without any risk adjustments.
Formula: Balance Value = Σ(Asset Balance × Market Price)
Example:
The adjusted value of your assets after applying haircuts, used for margin calculations.
Formula: Collateral Value = Σ(Asset Balance × Market Price × (1 - Haircut Rate))
Example:
Your total account value including unrealized profits and losses.
Formula: Equity = Collateral Value + Unrealized PnL
The minimum collateral required to open a new position.
Formula: Initial Margin = Position Size × Price × Initial Margin Rate
Example:
The minimum collateral required to keep a position open.
Formula: Maintenance Margin = Position Size × Price × Maintenance Margin Rate
Actual Relationship: Maintenance Margin Rate = 0.8 (80% of spot margin requirements)
The amount of collateral available for new positions or to absorb losses.
Formula (without orders): Available Margin = Equity + Derivatives Unrealized PnL - Initial Margin Requirements
Formula (with orders): Available Margin = Equity + Derivatives Unrealized PnL - Spot Margin - Withheld - Initial Margin - Derivatives Margin Requirements (with orders)
Alternative calculation that may include additional factors.
Formula: Free Margin = Equity - Margin Requirements - Withheld Funds
A percentage indicating your account's health relative to margin requirements.
Formula: Margin Level = (Collateral Value + Unrealized PnL) / Margin Requirements × 100%
Interpretation:
The price at which your position will be automatically closed.
For Long Positions: Liquidation Price = Entry Price × (1 - (Collateral Value / Position Value - Maintenance Margin Rate))
For Short Positions: Liquidation Price = Entry Price × (1 + (Collateral Value / Position Value - Maintenance Margin Rate))
The margin level that triggers warnings and potential liquidation.
Typical Values:
The total profit or loss from all open positions.
Formula: Unrealized PnL = Σ(Position Size × (Current Price - Entry Price))
The portion of unrealized PnL that can be used as collateral.
Formula: Unrealized PnL as Margin = max(0, Unrealized PnL × Margin Credit Factor)
Note: Only profits typically count as margin; losses reduce available collateral.
Institutional-grade price feeds used for collateral valuation.
Characteristics:
Fallback pricing based on order book data.
Formula: Mid Rate = (Best Bid + Best Ask) / 2
The percentage of an asset's value that counts toward collateral.
Formula: Effective Collateral = Asset Value × Equity Value
Common Equity Values:
The threshold that activates automatic collateral conversion.
Formula:
USD_Shortfall = USD_Balance + Unrealized_PnL
Trigger_Condition = USD_Shortfall < Trigger_Threshold
The amount of collateral to convert during auto-conversion.
Formula: Required_Conversion = max(0, Trigger_Threshold - Current_Shortfall)
The deficit in collateral value that needs to be addressed.
Formula: Collateral_Shortfall = Collateral_Value + Unrealized_PnL - Required_Margin
The amount of credit available for trading.
Formula: Available_Credit = Credit_Limit - Credit_Used
Margin level calculation when using credit facilities.
Formula: Credit_Margin_Level = (Collateral - Credit_Used) / Credit_Used × 100%
Factor used to determine collateral requirements for credit.
Formula: Required_Collateral = Credit_Used × Collateral_Multiplier
All assets converted to USD equivalent for margin calculations.
Available Margin: Available_Margin = Collateral_Value_USD + Total_Unrealized_As_Margin - Initial_Margin_With_Orders
No haircuts applied; calculations in wallet's native currency.
Available Margin: Available_Margin = Balance_Value + Unrealized_PnL - Margin_Requirements
Combines spot and futures with cross-margining.
Total Available Margin: Available_Margin = Spot_Collateral_Value + Futures_Collateral_Value + Net_Unrealized_PnL - Total_Margin_Requirements
The ratio of position value to collateral.
Formula: Leverage_Ratio = Total_Position_Value / Collateral_Value
The sensitivity of your portfolio to price changes.
Formula: Portfolio_Delta = Σ(Position_Size × Delta_Per_Unit)
Estimated maximum loss over a specific time period.
Simplified Formula: VaR = Portfolio_Value × Volatility × Confidence_Factor × √Time_Period
Special rate for fee token conversions.
Formula:
KFEE_USD_Rate = 100:1 (fixed)
KFEE_Available_USD = KFEE_Balance / 100
The sequence for fee payment deduction:
Account Holdings:
Calculations:
USDT Collateral = 10,000 × (1 - 0.02) = $9,800
BTC Collateral = 1 × $50,000 × (1 - 0.10) = $45,000
Total Collateral = $54,800
Position: : Long 2 BTC futures at $50,000 Collateral: $20,000 Maintenance Margin: 5%
Calculation:
Position Value = 2 × $50,000 = $100,000
Required Maintenance = $100,000 × 0.05 = $5,000
Liquidation Price ≈ $50,000 × (1 - ($20,000/$100,000 - 0.05)) = $42,500
