Because you borrowed USDT to fund an operation. Your Margin wallet shows borrowed amounts as negative so your overall exposure matches your Combined Balance accurately.

Does the platform stop me from transferring funds when my risk is high?

It depends on your Margin Level status:

• In Healthy or Caution, there are no restrictions on transfers or trades beyond your normal Trading Power. Caution is an informational state designed to give you time to react: you will get a margin call notification as you approach the liquidation threshold.
• In At risk (margin call), the platform blocks outgoing transfers from your Margin wallet and blocks new orders that increase or worsen your debt. You can still close positions, add collateral, or repay borrowed funds.
• In Liquidation (Margin Level ≤ 1.10×), open positions are liquidated automatically in your Margin wallet; any surplus after debt, interest, and fees is returned to your Margin wallet.

Why was my execution price different from what I saw in the order book?

That is slippage, which happens with market orders. We monitor this closely and aim to keep slippage at 50 basis points or less most of the time. Design improvements and liquidity initiatives help keep slippage low.

Where can I see the interest I have paid?

Go to History, Margin and look for the Interest entries (hourly). You will also see the Auto-repayment line when you close a position, showing how the interest was paid. The Alpha order ticket shows a loan line item with a link to rate information, and the Positions tab also reflects all loan, repayment, and interest activity.

What is the difference between Auto-borrow and Auto-repayment?

• Auto-borrow triggers when you place an order: it borrows the funds you need at that moment.
• Auto-repayment happens when you close a position: it uses what you receive to pay off your debt (interest first, then principal). Any leftover or shortfall after repayment adjusts your margin equity accordingly. If you cancel an order, the principal is repaid automatically, though interest may keep accruing for the time you held the borrowed funds.
