What Is the Unified Account Maintenance Margin Ratio (MMR) And How Is It Calculated?

The Unified Maintenance Margin Ratio (MMR) is the foundation of the Portfolio Margin System. This ratio is used to assess the overall risk level of a trader's entire portfolio, taking into account the adjusted equity and Maintenance Margin across all positions in the trading accounts within the Portfolio Margin. The Unified Maintenance Margin Amount in Portfolio Margin is the total amount of Maintenance Margin a user needs to hold across all their Portfolio Margin nominated Futures Accounts and Cross Margin Accounts (in US Dollars). The uniMMR plays a crucial role in risk management, determining if a trader meets the minimum margin requirements. A higher MMR indicates a lower risk, while a lower MMR signals a higher risk and potential liquidation.

1. How to calculate the MMR?

MMR = Unified Account Adjusted Equity / Unified Maintenance Margin Amount

To maintain a healthy portfolio, you must keep your uniMMR above a certain threshold. Depending on the uniMMR level, different actions or restrictions may apply, such as receiving margin call reminders, restricting new orders, or even liquidation. Monitoring the MMR is essential to avoid liquidation risks and ensure a well-balanced portfolio.
