To improve the futures trading experience, Bitget has upgraded the calculation logic for estimated liquidation price and position margin. The upgrade aims to provide users with more accurate references for risk management. The adjustments are as follows:

1. Optimized estimated liquidation price calculation

A new algorithm now integrates multi-dimensional market data in real time.
The estimated liquidation price better reflects position risk, making alerts more precise and reliable.
For technical details, refer to this support article.

2. Updated position margin calculation logic

Item	Previous formula	New formula	Benefit
Margin	Position size × average entry price ÷ leverage	Position size × mark price ÷ leverage	Reflects fair market value in real time

Note:

The update will affect the following:
1. Available balance will now be calculated dynamically, with utilized margin deducted from account equity.
2. Return on equity (ROE) will update in real time. ROE = unrealized PnL ÷ margin.
Existing positions will be recalculated automatically under the new logic.

3. Operational guide

Update your app to the latest version (Android/iOS v3.0.0+).
Head to Futures Account > Position Details to view the updated metrics.
We recommend testing the new calculation logic in demo trading before moving to live trading.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please contact customer service if you have any questions. Thank you for your continued support.
