We are adjusting the initial margin fraction to better protect traders from liquidations as well as to keep in line with evolving industry standards. Maintenance margin requirements will remain unchanged. Open positions will remain unchanged, however, users with existing positions above 5x leverage will not be able to increase their positions. Happy Trading!
