As part of a recent update, we have adjusted the maximum leverage settings across several trading pairs to better align with current market standards. This article explains what changed, how it affects you, and what actions (if any) you need to take.
What Changed
We have updated the maximum configurable leverage available on each pair.
Only the Initial Margin (IM) has been adjusted. Maintenance Margin (MM) remains unchanged until further notice.
This is a system-wide change applied to leverage settings on the platform.
Will My Existing Positions Be Affected?
No. Your existing positions will not be liquidated as a result of this change. You can keep your current positions open and close them later without any issue. This system-wide update does not touch or resize your open positions.
What This Means for You
If you are a UI trader:
You will need to set your leverage before opening a new position. The UI will guide you through this, and the available range will be clearly displayed.
If you are an API trader:
If you receive error messages related to leverage, you will need to either:
Call the leverage API to adjust your setting: Set Position Config, or
Log in to the UI and adjust your leverage manually across the pairs you frequently trade.
How to Adjust Leverage in the UI
On the top right of the trading panel, tap the leverage dropdown.
In the Adjust Leverage window, use the slider to set your preferred level (up to the new maximum for that contract).
Tap Confirm.
Adjusting Leverage by Margin Type
You do not need to touch your existing positions. However, if you choose to lower leverage on an open position, please note the following:
Cross Margin: You can lower your leverage directly through the UI on the affected contract.
Isolated Margin: Leverage on an existing isolated position cannot be reduced directly. You will need to fully close the position first, then reopen it at your preferred leverage.
Important: System Change vs. Your Own Changes
There is an important distinction to understand:
Our system-wide change did not impact your open positions.
A change you make yourself in settings will take effect immediately. When you lower your own leverage on a contract, it applies right away to your open positions and any resting (unfilled) orders on that contract.
In short: our update leaves your positions untouched, but any manual leverage change you make will apply to your current positions and open orders instantly.
