What is the difference between an index price, a fair price, and a most recent transaction price?
On the futures trading page, users can see the three different prices: Index Price, Fair Price, and Latest Transaction Price. So, how can we figure out what those three prices mean and how they differ?

Three-Priced Definition
Index MEXC assigns varying weights to the spot prices from at least three separate exchanges, resulting in a weighted average price.
MEXC's Fair Price is the Index price multiplied by the capital cost base rate. The fair price marking method is designed to keep highly leveraged products from being liquidated prematurely. The fair price is primarily used to assess unrealized loss and position liquidation, implying that liquidation or automatic deleveraging is based on the fair price rather than the most recent transaction price.
Calculation of a Reasonable Price
Funding Rate * (Time Until Funding / Funding Interval) = Funding Basis
Index Price * (1+Funding Basis) = Fair Price
The most recent transaction price in MEXC Futures is the current market traded price.
