Asset Position Limits

Constraint

Asset Position Limits function as mandatory ceilings on the aggregate size of an investor’s open derivatives contracts within a specified market. Exchanges implement these thresholds to mitigate systemic risk by preventing any single entity from exerting undue influence over price discovery or market stability. Traders must monitor these caps continuously, as exceeding the designated volume can trigger immediate forced liquidations or administrative penalties to maintain equilibrium.
