Guide to trading leverage on Mango Markets

The property will automatically be borrowed and appear in the ‘Borrows’ when you place an order with a larger amount than the deposit. Interest will be accumulated and deducted continuously. Interest will be calculated on an annual basis and indicated by the red number next to it. The maximum allowable leverage is 5x.

To open a leveraged position, the Initial Collateral Ratio must reach 120%. Collateral Ratio is calculated according to the formula below.

When a leveraged position is opened, you must ensure the Maintenance Collateral Ratio is above 110%. If your account retention mortgage rate is lower than 110%, it will be liquidated. To increase this rate, you can reduce the amount of borrowing or depositing more assets into your Margin Account.

The mortgage rate will be displayed just below the Margin Account.

To close a leveraged position, you need to pay (Settle) your loans. To do this, your deposit must be equal to or more than the loan for a property. When all deposit requirements are satisfied, click “Settle Borrows” for your loans to be repaid.

In the Withdraw window, select the asset you want to withdraw => enter the wallet address you want to withdraw that asset. If there is a message displayed ‘No wallet address found for [asset]’ (The address of the property could not be found…), please check if you have added this token to the Sollet.io wallet or not.

Guide to Fee Discounts and SRM Contributions

Traders on Mango Markets will significantly save on Serum DEX trading fees by contributing SRM with other traders.

Specifically, Serum determines the level of transaction fees based on tiers divided by the amount of SRM held in the account; The more SRMs in your account, the less fees you pay and the more you earn.

The highest level is MegaSerum (MSRM), you need to hold an amount worth 1 million SRM, which is almost impossible for most people.

However, Mango’s Margin Account is built to help your SRM deposit be combined with all other users, to reach a higher level together and benefit together when trading on the platform.

Deposit SRM will help you to be exempt from liquidation, but not counted in the collateral collateral.

Brothers visit Fee Discounts to see the current fee as well as deposit in or withdraw SRM.
