Important Notes for Traders
- Existing Positions Impacted: All existing positions opened prior to the adjustment will be affected and it is recommended to adjust your leverage and position tier accordingly.
- Avoid Liquidation: To prevent liquidation caused by the changes in the maintenance margin rate, it is crucial to either top up your margin or adjust your positions prior to the adjustment.
- Maintenance Margin Ratio: After the adjustment, the maintenance margin ratio for some positions may reflect values greater than 100%, indicating a need for prompt position adjustments.
- Trading Bots: For users utilizing trading bots, those with positions or leverage exceeding the new parameters may face termination, hence early adjustments are advised to mitigate potential losses.
