Equity Threshold Monitoring

Equity threshold monitoring is the continuous observation of a user's account value relative to their open position obligations. Automated systems perform this check every block or at fixed intervals to ensure compliance with margin rules.

When the equity falls near the maintenance margin, the system generates alerts or initiates liquidation protocols. This process is essential for maintaining the stability of the entire trading platform.

It relies on accurate price feeds to calculate the current value of collateral and the unrealized profit or loss of positions. By automating this monitoring, protocols eliminate the need for manual intervention and ensure fair treatment for all participants.

Effective monitoring is the backbone of any automated margin engine.
