McnEx Margin & Leverage Adjustment Official Instructions

1️⃣ Auto Margin Top-Up

Auto Margin Top-Up is a position risk protection function. When the margin balance approaches the maintenance margin level, the system will automatically supplement margin from the available account balance to reduce the risk of forced liquidation.

Function Introduction

After enabling this function, the system will automatically use the available account balance to supplement margin when the position margin is insufficient.

The amount supplemented each time is approximately equal to the initial margin of the current position.

If the available balance is insufficient, all remaining available balance will be used for margin supplementation.

After margin supplementation, the gap between the liquidation price and the mark price widens, leading to lower position risk.

⚠️ Once Auto Margin Top-Up is activated, the minimum available leverage for this position is 1x. If the position is already at 1x leverage, no additional margin will be supplemented even if there is remaining available balance.

2️⃣

Manual Margin Adjustment

You can manually increase or decrease position margin based on real-time market conditions.

Operation Guide

• Increase Margin: This operation will not affect the original position opening leverage settings, nor will it change the leverage multiple displayed in the order area; the liquidation price will be recalculated based on the updated margin amount.

• Decrease Margin: The adjusted margin shall not be lower than the sum of initial margin + estimated closing margin.

⚠️ Manual margin adjustment will not alter the preset leverage multiple of the position.

3️⃣ Adjust Position Holding Leverage Multiple

You can dynamically adjust position leverage to achieve flexible capital allocation and risk control.

Position Opening Margin Calculation Formula

Margin = Contract Face Value × Number of Contracts × Average Position Opening Price ÷ Leverage

Leverage Adjustment Rules

✅ Increase Leverage (subject to the system maximum leverage limit)

Leverage cannot be increased when the position is in a loss state, so as to prevent amplified risks and potential forced liquidation.

✅ Decrease Leverage

The system will verify whether the available margin is sufficient to meet the margin demand after adjustment. The adjustment will be successfully completed if the margin adequacy requirement is met.

Minimum Available Leverage Calculation Formula

Minimum Leverage = Position Volume × Contract Face Value ÷ (Average Holding Price × (Occupied Margin + Available Margin))

Important Reminders

Leverage adjustment does not directly change the risk exposure of the current position, but it will affect the position's liquidation price.

The system will automatically verify whether the adjusted leverage complies with the maximum leverage multiple limit of the corresponding contract.
