Managing a Position

After a position is open, you can adjust risk without closing and reopening the whole trade.

Add Collateral​

Add more of the same stablecoin collateral to an active position.

  • Position size stays the same
  • Collateral increases
  • Effective leverage decreases
  • Liquidation price usually moves farther away

Use this when you want to make a position safer without changing its entry price.

Remove Collateral​

Withdraw part of a position's collateral.

  • Position size stays the same
  • Collateral decreases
  • Effective leverage increases
  • Liquidation price moves closer

Atlas checks that the remaining collateral stays above the protocol minimum and that the new liquidation price keeps a safety buffer from the current oracle price.

Partial Close​

Close only part of the position size while keeping the rest open.

  • Remaining size decreases
  • Entry price and open time stay the same
  • No new trading fee is charged
  • A proportional borrow fee is settled for the closed portion

If the partial close realizes a gain, the gain is paid to your wallet. If it realizes a loss, that loss is deducted from the remaining collateral.

Order Status and Cancellation​

Position management actions are submitted as on-chain orders, just like opening or closing a position. You can track them in Pending Orders until they are processed.

If a management order has not been processed yet, you can cancel it from the order list and recover the locked funds.
