Why is my USDT balance showing as negative?
Because you borrowed USDT to fund a trade. Your wallet displays 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 state:
• In Healthy or Warning, there are no hard restrictions on transfers or trading beyond your normal Trading Power. Warning is an advisory state designed to give you time to react: you'll receive a margin call notification as you approach the liquidation threshold.
• In At Risk (Margin Call), the platform blocks outbound transfers from your Margin Wallet and blocks new orders that would 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 auto-liquidated across your Margin Wallet; any surplus after debt, interest, and fees is returned to your Margin Wallet.
Why was my fill price different from what I saw in the order book?
That's 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've paid?
Go to History, Margin and look for Interest (hourly) entries. You'll also see the Auto-Repay line when you close a position showing how interest was paid.
What's the difference between auto-Borrow and auto-Repay?
- Auto-Borrow kicks in when you place an order, it borrows the funds you need at that moment.
- Auto-Repay happens when you close a position, it uses what you receive to pay back your debt (interest first, then principal). If you cancel an order, the principal is automatically repaid, though interest may still accrue for the time you held the borrowed funds.
