The SantolMargin Index Price is based on weighted average price quotes from these exchanges.
HTX
Coinbase

Bitfinex
How the SantolMargin Index Price is calculated
1. SantolMargin collects spot price quotes for an asset from the exchanges listed above.
2. SantolMargin removes the lowest quote and the highest quote from the set of collected prices.
3. SantolMargin calculates a weighted average of the remaining quotes.
4. The result is the SantolMargin Index Price.
This approach reduces the influence of extreme values, including short term spikes and abnormal prints, while keeping the index aligned with the active market.
Example
Assume the current quotes are:
1000 from HTX
1010 from Coinbase
1020 from Bybit
1030 from Binance
1040 from Bitfinex
SantolMargin excludes the minimum and maximum quotes, which are 1000 from HTX and 1040 from Bitfinex. The index is then calculated from the remaining exchanges.
Coinbase at 1010
Bybit at 1020
Binance at 1030
The SantolMargin Index Price is the weighted average of those remaining quotes.
If an exchange becomes unavailable
If one or more source exchanges suspend service or cannot provide quotes due to technical issues, SantolMargin will calculate the index using the same method, based on the remaining active exchanges from the list above.
Changes to sources and weights
SantolMargin may update the list of price sources and adjust weights to maintain index quality and stability. SantolMargin will publish a notice before changes take effect.
FAQ
What is an index price?
An index price is a composite reference price derived from multiple exchanges, intended to represent the broader market price rather than a single venue.
Why exclude the minimum and maximum quotes?
To reduce the impact of extreme values, including abnormal prints and temporary dislocations, and to make the index more stable.
Are the quotes weighted?
Yes. SantolMargin uses a weighted average of the remaining exchanges after removing the lowest and highest quote.
What happens if too few exchanges are available?
SantolMargin will continue using the remaining active exchanges from the approved source list. If market conditions require additional safeguards, SantolMargin may apply additional protections and will publish a notice.
