Insurance fund information

Understanding the Insurance Fund

The insurance fund protects traders from losses due to:
  • Bankruptcy events: When traders can’t cover their losses
  • System failures: Technical issues that affect trading
  • Market gaps: Extreme price movements beyond liquidation prices
  • Counterparty risk: Default by other market participants
  • Contributions: Small percentage of profitable trades
  • Automatic: Deducted seamlessly from winning positions
  • Transparent: Balance publicly visible for confidence
  • Coverage: Covers losses that exceed trader’s margin
  • Healthy: Fund balance > 80% of target level
  • Warning: Fund balance 50-80% of target level
  • Critical: Fund balance < 50% of target level
When critical, contribution rates may temporarily increase.
  • Rate: Currently 0.05% (0.0005) of profitable trade value
  • Automatic: Deducted from winning trades only
  • Transparent: No hidden fees or charges
  • Variable: Rate may adjust based on fund health
The insurance fund balance is updated in real-time and provides an additional layer of protection for all traders on the platform.
During extreme market conditions, if the insurance fund is depleted, auto-deleveraging (ADL) may be triggered to manage risk.
