📢 Institutional Notice: Major Updates to Margin Calculation (Perps & Futures)

Bybit is updating the margin algorithm for Perpetual & Futures Contracts. Key changes include:

• Initial Margin remains unchanged
• Algorithm for position liquidation price will be updated but remain at a fixed value. This is consistent with the current experience

3. Portfolio Margin

Do note that Risk Limits will dynamically adjust based on real-time Mark Price – clients are encouraged to review exposure accordingly.
