Tiered Leverage Calculation
Under the tiered leverage mechanism, the position is divided into different volume tiers. The volume-weighted average price (VWAP) is calculated for each tier, and the applicable leverage is applied based on the relevant position-size range.
The margin required for each tier is then added together to determine the total margin and the position's effective leverage.

Example 1: Long Position
Open an 80-lot long position.
- The entire 80 lots fall within the 1:100 leverage tier.
- The effective leverage for the position is approximately 1:100.

Example 2: Short Position
Open a 60-lot short position.
- The entire 60 lots fall within the 1:100 leverage tier.
- The effective leverage for the position is approximately 1:100.

Example 3: Additional Long Position
Open an additional 100-lot long position.
- The additional 100 lots fall within the 1:75 leverage tier.
- The effective leverage for this additional position is approximately 1:75.
