FAQs and Risk Reminders
- If the value you check does not match your old record, it is most likely that the page is not refreshed. Pull down to reload to view the latest rules (Source: OKX Help Center, 2024-06-15)
- Users in high-risk tiers will trigger forced liquidation if the price fluctuates by less than 2.5% if you do not add margin in time, and there is no room for negotiation to recover losses.
After finishing the operation, you can go back to the position page to check the "Estimated Liquidation Price". An updated value means you have adapted to the new margin rules, and the whole process takes no more than 1 minute.
