Properly managing your borrow and lend positions is crucial to optimize returns and mitigate risks. Here’s how to keep your positions in check.
Managing Borrow Positions
- Repay Borrowed Assets: To reduce your liability, select the asset you want to repay from the Borrow section, enter the amount, and confirm the repayment.
- Add Collateral: To improve your margin level and lower the risk of liquidation, you can add more collateral to your account.
Monitor Margin Fractions:
- Initial Margin Fraction (IMF): The minimum margin level required to open new positions.
- Maintenance Margin Fraction (MMF): The margin level that must be maintained to avoid liquidation.
Managing Lend Positions
- Redeem Lent Assets: To withdraw assets from the lending pool, go to the Lend section, select the asset, and enter the amount to redeem.
Note: If you have Auto Lend enabled, you cannot perform this action.
- Auto-Lend Feature: Enable Auto-Lend to maximize your yield, as it will automatically lend your available assets.
Best Practices:
- Regularly check your positions and adjust them as needed based on market conditions.
- Use subaccounts to manage risk and separate different strategies.
