Check how a change affects the selected position and its margin requirements.
Distinguish exposure and margin
Leverage relates position exposure to the margin supporting it. Increasing leverage can reduce the initial margin required for the same exposure, but it also leaves less room for adverse price movements. Available margin and liquidation conditions still apply.
Review the current risk level
Check the selected contract’s maximum leverage, position or risk tier and initial and maintenance margin requirements. Larger exposure can be subject to different requirements. Use the current contract values rather than a limit from another market.
Confirm the scope of a change
When a leverage or risk-setting control is available, review its effect before confirming. Check whether the change applies to an existing position or future orders, then recheck margin and liquidation information. Read any restriction shown if the change is rejected.
A Futures risk limit is a contract requirement. It is separate from the Conservative, Balanced and Aggressive modes in AI Trading.
