Margin trading involves borrowing funds to trade financial assets, amplifying potential profits and losses, with interest as the cost of borrowing. This interest is calculated based on the borrowed amount and the duration of use.

How Often Will The Interest Be Charged?

BitNasdaq charges interest on Margin Trading three times a day, with the interest accruing every 8 hours. This means that interest is applied in three equal intervals over a 24-hour period. In simple words, interest is charged 3 times a day after every 8 hours. The charges are automatically processed by BitNasdaq.

How Is The Interest Calculated?

To better understand how the daily interest rate on Margin Trading works, let's break down the calculations with a detailed example.

The current daily interest rate for Margin Trading on BitNasdaq is 0.22%, and this rate remains consistent regardless of the amount of leverage a user chooses to take. The interest charged in USDT depends on both the leverage applied and the amount of USDT on which the leverage is taken.

For instance, if a user decides to take 10X leverage on an initial amount of 100 USDT, the leverage effectively increases the trading amount to 1,000 USDT, 10 times the original amount. The interest charged is then calculated on the full 1,000 USDT.

Given the daily interest rate of 0.22%, let's calculate the interest for 8 hours. The daily rate of 0.22% can be divided by three, since there are three 8-hour periods in a day, resulting in an 8-hour interest rate of 0.073%.

Now, applying this 0.073% interest rate to the leveraged amount of 1,000 USDT, the interest charged every 8 hours would be:

Interest = Leverage Amount x Interest Rate

Interest = 1,000 x 0.073%

Interest = 0.73

So, the user would be charged 0.73 USDT in interest for every 8 hours that the position is held. This ensures users are aware of the cost implications of their leveraged positions, allowing for more informed trading decisions.
