Differences Between a Perpetual Contract and a Traditional Futures Contract
Mark Price: To avoid market manipulations and to ensure that the Perpetual Contract is price-matched to the Spot Price, we utilize Mark Price to calculate unrealized Profit and Loss for all traders.
Initial and Maintenance Margin: Traders should be extremely familiar with both Initial and Maintenance Margin levels, in particular, the Maintenance Margin, where auto-liquidation will occur. It is strongly recommended that traders liquidate their positions above the Maintenance Margin to avoid higher fees from auto-liquidations.
Funding: Payments between all longs and shorts in the Perpetual Futures Market. The Funding Rate determines which party is the payer and the payee. If the rate is positive, longs pay short; If negative, shorts pay longs.
Risk: Unlike Spot Markets, Futures Markets allow traders to place large orders that are not fully covered by their initial collateral. This is known as ‘margin trading.’ As markets have become more technologically advanced, the amount of available margin has increased. 
In order to ensure long-term convergence between the Perpetual Contract and the Mark Price, we use Funding. There are several key concepts that traders should be aware of in a Perpetual Contract:
The Perpetual Contract is an attempt to take advantage of a Futures Contract - specifically, the non-delivery of the actual commodity - while mimicking the behavior of the Spot market in order to reduce the price gap between the Futures Price and the Mark Price. This is a marked improvement compared to the traditional Futures Contract, which can have prolonged or even permanent differences versus the Spot Price.
As this gap widens, the contract’s carrying costs increase, the potential future price becomes more uncertain, and the potential price gap between the Spot and traditional Futures markets grows larger.
As such, someone is physically holding the wheat, which results in ‘carrying costs’ for the contract. Additionally, the price for wheat may differ depending on how far apart the current time and the future settlement time for the contract is. 
Consider a Futures Contract for a physical commodity, like wheat (or gold), as an example. In traditional futures markets, these contracts are marked for delivery of the wheat - in other words, the wheat should be delivered according to the contract when the futures contract expires. 
A Perpetual Contract is similar to a traditional Futures Contract, but the key difference is: There is no expiration or settlement of Perpetual Contracts.

Cost Required to Open a Position
Traders should ensure that they have a minimum fund in their wallet balance before opening a position. The cost required to open a position includes the initial margin and open loss (if any). Open loss occurs when the order price is unfavorable to the traders i.e. mark price is lower than the order price for a long order. 
Finandy includes open loss as one of the costs required to open a position to avoid forced liquidation when the traders place the order. If the open loss is not included as one of the cost required to open a position, there is a high probability that users’ position will get liquidated immediately once they have placed such order. 
Cost = Initial Margin + Open Loss (if any)
Cost Required to Open a LIMIT or STOP order
 Step 1: Calculate the initial margin
Initial Margin = Notional Value / Leverage = (9,253.30 x 1 BTC) / 20 = 462.66
 Step 2: Calculate Open Loss
Open Loss = Number of Contract x Absolute Value {min[0, direction of order x (mark price - order price)]} *direction of order: 1 for long order；-1 for short order
 (i) Open loss of long order
Number of Contract x Absolute Value {min[0, direction of order x (mark price - order price)]} = 1 x Absolute Value {min[0, 1 x (9,259.84 - 9,253.30)]} = 1 x Absolute Value {min[0, 6.54]} = 1 x 0 = 0 There is no open loss when the user opens a long order.
 (ii) Open loss of short order
= Number of Contract x Absolute Value {min[0, direction of order x (mark price - order price)]} = 1 x Absolute Value {min[0, -1 x (9,259.84 - 9,253.30)]} = 1 x Absolute Value {min[0, -6.54]} = 1 x 6.54 = 6.54 There is an open loss when the user opens a short order.
 Step 3: Calculate the cost required to open a position
Since the long order has no open loss, thus the cost required to open a long position is equivalent to the initial margin.
 (i) Cost Required to Open a Long Position
= 462.66 + 0 = 462.66 Short order has an open loss, thus the cost required to open a short position is higher as we need to take open loss into consideration besides the initial margin.
 (ii) Cost Required to Open a Short Position
= 462.66 + 6.54 = 469.20 (rounding difference)
Cost Required to Open a MARKET order
 Step 1: Calculate assuming price
Long order: assuming price = ask[0] * (1 + 0.05%) , Open order: assuming price = max(bid[0], mark price) 
(i) Assuming price of long order
= ask[0]  (1 + 0.05%) =10461.77  (1 + 0.05%) = 10467.0009
 (ii) Assuming price of short order
= max(bid[0], mark price) = max (10461.78, 10461.78) = 10461.78 *[0]：Level 1 price
 Step 2: Calculate the initial margin
Initial Margin = Notional Value / Leverage
 (i) Initial margin of long order
= Assuming price of long order  Number of Contract / Leverage = 10467.0009  0.2 / 20 = 104.670009
 (ii) Initial margin of short order
= Assuming price of short order  Number of Contract / Leverage = 10461.78  0.2 / 20 = 104.6178
 Step 3: Calculate Open Loss
Open Loss
= Number of Contract x Absolute Value {min[0, direction of order x (mark price - order price)]}
*direction of order: 1 for long order；-1 for short order
 (i) Open loss of long order
= Number of Contract x Absolute Value {min[0, direction of order x (mark price - order price)]} = 0.2 x Absolute Value {min[0, 1 x (10461.78 - 10467.0009)]} = 0.2 x Absolute Value {min[0, -5.2309]} = 0.2 x 5.2309 = 1.04418
There is an open loss when the user opens a long order.
 (ii) Open loss of short order
= Number of Contract x Absolute Value {min[0, direction of order x (mark price - order price)]} = 0.2 x Absolute Value {min[0, -1 x (10461.78 - 10461.78)]} = 0.2 x Absolute Value {min[0, 0]} = 0.2 x 0 = 0
There is no open loss when the user opens a short order.
 Step 4: Calculate the cost required to open a position
Long order has an open loss, thus the cost required to open a long position is higher as we need to take open loss into consideration besides the initial margin.
 (i) Cost Required to Open a Long Position
= 104.670109 + 1.04418 = 105.71 (rounding difference)
Since the short order has no open loss, thus the cost required to open a short position is equivalent to the initial margin.
 (ii) Cost Required to Open a Short Position
= 104.6178 + 0 = 104.61 (rounding difference)
On Finandy Futures, traders can trade with leverage between 1-125x on our crypto perpetual contracts (20x by default). The maximum amount of leverage available for users depends on the notional value of their position. Generally, the larger the position, the lower the leverage allowed.
Thus, initial margin deposits are calculated using the leverage selected by the trader.

Note that the trader will first select his leverage (and fulfil its initial margin requirement), and then will open his positions. If the trader makes no selection on leverage, it will be set at 20x by default. The higher the leverage, the smaller the notional size the trader will have access to. The lower the leverage, the higher the notional size the trader can open
Mark Price in USDⓈ-M futures
​
Calculation 
The calculation of Mark Price is intricately linked to the Funding Rate and vice versa. It is highly recommended to read both sections to get a full picture of how the system works.
As Unrealized PnL is the primary driver of liquidations, and as the Perpetual Contract allows for highly leveraged (up to 125x) positions, it is important to ensure that the Unrealized PnL calculation is accurate to avoid unnecessary liquidations. The underlying contract for the Perpetual Contract is the ‘true’ value of the Contract, and an average of the prices on the major markets constitutes the “Price Index” which is the primary component of Mark Price.
The Price Index is a bucket of prices from the major Spot Market Exchanges, weighted by their relative volume. The Price Index for USDⓈ-M futures contracts derived prices from Huobi, Bittrex, HitBTC, Gate.io, Bitmax, Poloniex, FTX, MXC.
There are additional protections to avoid poor market performance during outages of Spot Exchanges or during connectivity problems. These protections are listed below:
1.Single price source deviation: When the latest price of a certain exchange deviates more than 5% from the median price of all price sources, the exchange weight will be set to zero for weighting purposes.
2.Multi price source deviation: If more than 1 exchange shows greater than 5% deviation, the median price of all price sources will be used as the index value instead of the weighted average.
3.Exchange Connectivity Problem: If we can’t access the data feed for exchange and this exchange has trades updated in the last 10 seconds, we can take price data from the last result and use it for index calculation.
4.If one exchange has no updates for 10 seconds, the weight of this exchange will be zero when calculating the weighted average.
5.Last Price Protected: When it is unable to obtain a stable and reliable source of reference data for "Price Index" and "Mark Price", for those contracts have a single source of Price Index, the Price Index will not be updating. We will use a mechanism called “Last Price Protected" to update the Mark Price until it is back to normal. The “Last Price Protected” is a mechanism that the matching system temporarily switches to the latest transaction price of the contract itself within a certain limit as reference for Mark Price, to calculate unrealized profit and loss and liquidation call level, in order to avoid unnecessary liquidation.
Now that we’ve computed the Price Index, which can be considered as the “Spot Price”, we can move forward in calculating the Mark Price which is used for all Unrealized PnL calculations. Note that Realized PnL is still based on the actual executed market prices.

Liquidation
Risk and Leverage
Finandy uses Mark Price to avoid unnecessary liquidations and to combat market manipulation.
Risk and Leverage are adjusted based on the customer’s total exposure; the larger the total position, the higher the required margin, and the lower the leverage. A liquidation is triggered when:
Collateral = Initial Collateral + Realized PnL + Unrealized PnL < Maintenance Margin
On liquidation, all open orders are immediately cancelled. All traders will be subject to the same liquidation protocols referred to as “Smart Liquidation.” Finandy avoids full liquidation of the user’s position whenever possible. For any traders that are cleared via forced liquidation and not by an order issued from the trader, a liquidation fee will be charged on the amount liquidated only (not the notional value of the position).
It is important to mention that, as a general rule, users who hold relatively smaller positions that enter liquidation will almost always be fully liquidated. Larger users will see a smaller percentage of their accounts liquidated compared to smaller users. This is because maintenance margin is based around a user’s position size, and not their leverage selection. As a result, for smaller users, the effective maintenance margin is lower than the liquidation fee rate, so they are already bankrupt when first entering liquidation, regardless of the final price when clearing.
Note that all orders for liquidations are Immediate or Cancel orders. The order will fill as much as possible, and cancel the rest. This is different from a Fill or Kill order which will only execute if the order can be completely executed, and will be cancelled, if otherwise. The remaining positions will be either assigned to the insurance fund or counter-party liquidated.
For all traders, the system will first cancel all open orders, then attempt to reduce the trader’s margin usage with one single large Immediate or Cancel order without fully liquidating the trader. If the trader is margin compliant after the order and liquidation fee, the liquidation event is over. If the trader is still margin deficient, the trader’s position will be closed down at the bankruptcy price and the insurance fund will take over the position, and the trader is declared bankrupt. A portion of the remaining collateral (if any) will go to the insurance fund. If an account becomes bankrupt (negative wallet balance), the insurance fund will pay out to bring the account's balance back to 0.
*Bankruptcy price might be out of contract market price range.
**We will be sending you margin call and liquidation call notifications by mail, text message and internal message, the function serves as a risk warning and cannot guarantee timely delivery. You agree that during your use of the Service, under certain circumstances (including due to personal network congestion and poor network environment), users may be unable or delayed to receive SMS or e-mail reminders. We reserve the right with no obligation to deliver notifications.
 Insurance Clear Fee
When user's position got liquidated, A certain percentage of Insurance clear fee will be collected and contributed to Insurance funds reserves, marked as ''Insurance Clear'' in the Transaction History.
Since the liquidation price will not change, It is recommended that the user strictly control the risk to avoid liquidation.

 About Liquidation Price
Liquidation occurs when Mark Price hits the liquidation price of a position.Traders are advised to pay close attention to the movement of Mark Price and the liquidation price to avoid an open position being liquidated.
In hedge mode, both long and short positions of the same contract are sharing the same liquidation price in cross margin mode.
If both long and short positions of the same contract are in isolated mode, the positions will have two different liquidation prices depending on the margin allocated to the positions.
