Gate News reports that, according to Gate’s official announcement on June 4, 2026, Gate Options will upgrade and optimize the margin display system and risk control mechanisms for classic accounts. This upgrade will be rolled out in batches and covered progressively. Accounts that have not been upgraded can still use the current version’s functions normally; the upgrade will be completed automatically by the system.
After the upgrade, classic accounts will use a more intuitive margin rate display framework, including four core indicators: total margin balance, total available balance, total initial margin rate (IM%), and total maintenance margin rate (MM%). At the same time, the automatic cancel-order mechanism will be optimized. When the initial margin rate is below 100% but the maintenance margin rate is above 100%, the system will automatically cancel some of the unfilled open orders to release margin that is tied up.
The forced liquidation mechanism will also be upgraded. The liquidation process will be triggered when the maintenance margin rate is less than or equal to 100%. The upgraded risk control system will prioritize reducing the account’s overall risk exposure, prioritize handling contracts with better liquidity, prioritize releasing margin tied up in higher-risk positions, and adopt a dynamic batch-execution mechanism to reduce the impact on the market and slippage. This upgrade does not affect fund safety or existing positions.
