## Adjusting a Position

### Add Margin (Isolated only)

Add collateral to an isolated position to reduce liquidation risk and effectively lower your leverage.

### Adjust Leverage

You can only increase leverage on open positions. To lower leverage: in isolated mode, add margin; in cross mode, close the position and reopen with lower leverage.

### Partial Close

Close a portion of your position at market or limit price.

## Closing a Position

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Click Close on the position row
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Choose Market Close (instant) or Limit Close (at target price)
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Hit confirm
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}
