## Edit Trade Collateral

You can **add** or **remove** collateral (margin) from a position, similar to how an isolated-margin account works. These actions don’t affect your position size, incur no fees, and will adjust your liquidation price.

### Add Collateral

Adding collateral to your position lowers your leverage, adjusts your liquidation price.

### Remove Collateral

Removing collateral from your position increases your leverage, adjusts your liquidation price.

### Edit Take Profit

While your trade is open, you can update the take-profit (TP) as many times as you like without any extra costs. Here are the TP ranges for long and short positions:

* **Long**: Market Price < TP < max TP
* **Short**: max TP < TP < Market Price

### Edit Stop Loss

Just like with TP, you can update your stop-loss (SL) as often as you like. Below are the SL ranges for long and short positions:

* **Long**: Liquidation Price < SL < Market Price
* **Short**: Market Price < SL < Liquidation Price
