Increase Collateral/ Leverage

Last updated 1 year ago

The Increase Collateral and Leverage features offer users a dynamic solution to liquidity utilization and risk management. With this feature, users can add collateral via the Position Menu, which will decrease leverage and thus push out the liquidation price if that is a concern.

Contrarily, Increasing Leverage will result in a tighter liquidation price but can free up the collateral for other positions if desired.
