How to Adjust the Margin

On the condition that the current balance in the user’s account is sufficient to support the position, the user can adjust the amount of the margin according to their preference, including both increasing and reducing.

Web

Users can click the icon next to the margin on the positions page, enter the amount of margin to increase or decrease to adjust.

 

 

App 

You can click “Adjust Margin” in the lower left corner of the “Position” of the futures trading page, and enter the increased or decreased margin amount.

After the margin is adjusted, the original isolated or cross margin mode will not change, but the actual position leverage and liquidation price will change.

The less the margin, the higher the actual leverage, the closer the liquidation price is to the mark price, and the higher the risk; on the contrary, the more the margin, the lower the actual leverage, the farther the liquidation price is from the mark price, and the lower the risk.

Maximum Removable Margin

When making profits, users can remove all margins.

When losing, the Removable Margin = Margin Transferred in - Unrealized PNL ( If the position has been adjusted, you will also have to take the fee for position adjustment and etc. into account)

Note

1. You need to pay attention to the changes in liquidation price while adjusting the margin and to prevent unnecessary liquidation.
2. If you change the leverage after adjusting the margin, then the adjusted margin will invalidate, and will have to recalculate the margin according to the current leverage.
3. You need to make sure the leverage margin is sufficient before reducing the margin, or you can also reduce the margin by increasing the leverage. Similarly, you also have to make sure the margin is sufficient before reducing the leverage, otherwise the leverage cannot be reduced.
4. Margin adjustments in cross margin mode are made in the positions. In isolated margin mode, you can transfer funds directly to the futures account.If you adjust the margin before adding positions, the margin will be shared and won’t invalidate when the margin is sufficient. When the position held after the increase exceeds the position that the adjusted margin can support, the margin will be increased according to the minimum margin required for the position.If reducing positions, then the margin will be reduced according to the proportion of ADL.
