The risk level will determine if your order can be placed and the liquidation price. After the update, BTSE will employ a risk limit slider whose increments and associated margin requirements will vary depending on each market. The larger the position, the higher the required maintenance margin and initial margin percentages. Each contract will have its own maintenance margin, which changes along with the risk limit level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Contract Name Changes<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><b>Perpetual Contracts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTSE will change the current perpetual contract name CRYPTOPFC to <\/span><b>CRYPTO-PERP<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. For example, the current BTCPFC will become BTC-PERP after the update.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Time-based Contracts<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">BTSE will change the current time-based contract name CRYPTOMY to <\/span><b>CRYPTO-YYMMDD<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
