Risk Advisory
Given recent market fluctuations, users should note that maintenance margin requirements and available leverage may change post-adjustment. Carefully review the new tiered structure to understand how these changes affect your positions. Consider reducing exposure, adding collateral, or closing high-risk positions to prevent liquidations.
