Adjust Position Leverage

Introduction

You can easily adjust the amount of leverage for your position via the position management dashboard. This enables you to either:

• Increase leverage: Gain greater exposure to the asset token if you believe the value of the asset token to debt token will increase.

• Decrease leverage: Decrease the likelihood of liquidation if you still want to maintain leveraged exposure to asset token but believe the value of the asset token to debt token will decrease in the short term.

With the Factor dApp, you can adjust your position's leverage in just 2 clicks!

Step 2: Select the new leverage amount

Once on the position management dashboard, you can then select the "Change Leverage" tab to bring up the leverage picker.

Select the new leverage amount

The leverage slider will be loaded with the position's current leverage multiplier. By using the slider, you can adjust the position's leverage and also view the projected position metrics in real time.

Step 3: Confirm leverage adjustment

With a new leverage multiplier selected, you can execute the changes by selecting the "Change Leverage" button. This will require a signature via the connected wallet as Factor updates the position's configurations and executes the multi-step process on the underlying protocols.

Step 4: View new collateral amount

Update position metrics

Once the collateral addition has been executed, notice that the position's key metrics have been adjusted according to the new leverage multiplier selected:

• Net Value: Minimal changes due to the incremental value of debt being converted to asset.

• Collateral Value: Increases by the value of the additional leverage multiplier selected multiplied by the initial asset provided.

• Debt Value: Increases by the additional value of debt required to achieve the increased leveraged multiplier.

• Health Factor: Decreases as the collateral value decreases relative to debt value (i.e. more leveraged position).

• Liquidation Price: For this long position, the liquidation price increases as the position's leverage increases.
