What You Need to Do
If your position exceeds the current risk limit, you have a few options:
- Option 1: Increase Your Risk Limit Tier
Raise your risk limit tier to support a larger position. This will require you to add more margin and may affect your liquidation price. - Option 2: Reduce Your Position
Partially reduce your position to stay within your current risk limit.
If you do not take action:
- You can only reduce or close your position.
- You cannot place new orders that increase your position size for that respective market.
- Trading in other markets will not be affected.
