Glossary

Mark price

The price an exchange uses for liquidations and unrealised profit and loss, built from the spot index and the futures price so that one odd trade cannot trigger liquidations.

Why it matters

On Binance the mark price of a USDⓈ-M perpetual is the median of three prices built from the index and the contract's own price.
