Notice on Portfolio Margin Mode Parameters Updates
Updated over a week ago

BIT Exchange Members are advised of the below updated margin parameters. The changes are effective around at 9:00am UTC 14th Nov 2023 and will only affect the users with Portfolio Margin enabled.

1. IM Coefficient: IM Coefficient will be reduced from 1.25 to 1.2.
2. Volatility Moves: Volatility moves will change to relative, therefore volatility of 50 with 35% vol up = 67.5%

  • Vol up/down change of the contract= (30/days to expiry) ^ 0.3 * vol up/down change

  • Vol up=Original Vol *(1+Vol up change of the contract)

  • Vol down=Original Vol *(1-Vol down change of the contract)

3. Volatility Range:

BIT will amend volatility variables below due to change of the volatility moves formula from absolute volatility to relative volatility.
