To help traders monitor their account health, Kyan exposes two live metrics per portfolio: Initial Margin ratio (IMr) and Maintenance Margin ratio (MMr).
Initial Margin Ratio (IMr)
If IMr < 100%, the user can increase exposure.
If IMr ≥ 100%, no new directional risk can be added. Only risk-reducing actions (e.g., closing or hedging positions, adding equity) are allowed.
Maintenance Margin Ratio (MMr)
If MMr < 100%, the account is safe.
If MMr ≥ 100%, liquidation begins to restore portfolio health.
These ratios change dynamically with market movements and position adjustments, giving users real-time visibility into their margin status.
