Risk Management Advisory
Given recent market volatility, the adjusted tier rules may increase maintenance margin requirements for existing positions. To avoid forced liquidation, users are advised to:
- Reduce leverage via partial closing.
- Add margin to lower risk exposure.
- Monitor positions closely post-adjustment.

The update aims to optimize liquidity and protect traders from extreme volatility by rebalancing margin requirements.
