@ -48,12 +48,15 @@ Different shorters have different expectations when being margin called:
With a new "target collateral ratio" option, all these expectations can be met.
In sections below, both a "margin call order" and a "call order" mean a short
position in margin call territory.
## The Definition of Target Collateral Ratio
"Target collateral ratio" is an optional value which can be set onto a short
position, when the position being automatically liquidized (margin called),
sell no more than required collateral until collateral ratio of the position
reaches this value.

* When checking for black swan or globally settling, ignore this option.
Why to use "higher than" but not "equal to", is due to an existing rule:
if a short position's collateral ratio is equal to MCR, it will still be
margin called.
## The Math

Then adjust `max_amount_to_sell` to be more precise by:
## Rounding on Maximums Calculation
```
max_amount_to_sell = round_down(max_debt_to_cover / match_price)
```
As described in [BSIP 35](bsip-0035.md), at last we need to convert the
rational numbers to integers, so rounding is involved.
## Rounding and Edge Cases
Since maximum debt to cover is primarily used in order matching algorithm, we
will only focus on it here.
Without `target_CR` option set, when a call order is partially filled, its
paid collateral will be rounded down, so its collateral ratio will increase.
When calculating maximum debt to cover, the goal is to go over the specified
target but not go too far beyond.
That said, if a short position got matched with a big limit order, after
partially filled, its collateral ratio should be **just** higher than specified
target collateral ratio. Which means if `max_debt_to_cover` has no
fraction, need to plus it by one Satoshi; otherwise, need to round it up.
An effectively same approach is to round down then add one Satoshi onto the
result.
With `target_CR` option set, when a call order is partially filled, it's
possible that its paid collateral will be rounded up. If the call order's
collateral ratio is not too low, partially filling will likely leads to an
## Rounding on Order Matching, and Edge Cases
Rounding rules about order matching are defined in [BSIP 35](bsip-0035.md).
Generally, when two orders got matched, the order matching engine will favor
the larger order while rounding.
When a call order got matched with a limit order, if the call order has no
`target_CR` option set, or has `target_CR` option set but covering debt is
smaller than maximum debt to cover, both means the call order is larger,
so its paid collateral will be rounded down, so its collateral ratio will
increase after partially filled.
If the call order has `target_CR` option set and is covering the whole "maximum
debt to cover", to be fair, we should consider that part of call order to be
smaller and favor the limit order while rounding, otherwise the limit order may
suffer an overall loss.
That means the call order will be partially filled and its paid
collateral will be rounded up, in this case, if the call order's collateral
ratio was not too low, usually, partially filling will still lead to an
increase in collateral ratio.
However, there are edge cases: if the call order's collateral ratio is already
low, or its debt or collateral amount is tiny, rounding up paid collateral on
partially filling will probably lead to a decrease in collateral ratio,
in extreme cases it may even lead to a black swan event. This is against the
intention of this BSIP. To solve this issue, when detected a decrease in
collateral ratio when matching, ignore the `target_CR` option of corresponding
call order, and re-evaluate the match.
in an extreme case it may even lead to a black swan event. This is against the
intention of this BSIP. To solve this issue, if detected a decrease in
collateral ratio when matching, we propose to ignore the `target_CR` option of
corresponding call order, and re-evaluate the match.
## The Revised Rounding Rules on Order Matching
So the rule for matching a limit order with a call order will be revised as
follows with new rules **in bold**:
* if the call order is receiving the whole debt amount, which means it's
smaller and the short position will be closed after the match, round up its
paying amount;
* **otherwise,**
* **if the call order has `target_collateral_ratio` set and is receiving the
maximum debt amount calculated with `target_collateral_ratio`, see the call
order as smaller, try to round up its paying amount;**
* **for edge cases, if the call order's collateral ratio would not increase
after being partially filled due to the round-up (which may even cause a
black swan event in an extreme scenario), see its `target_collateral_ratio`
as "not set" for this time, re-apply the filling rules for this match.**
* otherwise, the call order is larger, round down its paying amount.
* if the limit order would receive nothing, cancel it (it's smaller,
so safe to cancel);
* otherwise, calculate the amount that the limit order would pay as
`round_up(receiving_amount * match_price)`. After filled both orders,
if the limit order still exists, the remaining amount might be too small,
so cancel it.

## UI/UX
The new option need to be presented and can be used in UI after the hard fork.
When there are call orders to be filled, if `target_collateral_ratio` option
is set, UI need to show exact amounts of collateral that another trader is able
to buy according to the equation described above.
