Repay Position Debt
Introduction
You can easily repay your position's debt via the position management dashboard. By repaying a position's debt, you are reducing the amount of debt accrued to the position and thereby reducing the risk of liquidation.
Position Leverage Multiplier
Note that the repayment of debt only reduces the position's debt amount. Consequently, the position's leverage multiplier is decreased accordingly with the position's Health Factor also seeing a corresponding increase.
Leverage Strategy Explainers
Please refer to the Leverage Strategy Explainer if you would like to understand the leverage process and how Factor streamlines the management of leveraged positions.

Reduce Your Position's Debt
Step 1: Navigate to the target position
You can access your position via your personalized dashboard.
Upon clicking the "Expand" button, you can then select the target position. Note that the following page displays all the positions created for a particular strategy.
Step 2: Specify amount of debt to repay
Once on the position management dashboard, you can then select the "Repay" tab to specify the amount of debt token to be repaid.
Step 3: Approve debt to be repaid
To repay your position's debt, the strategy contract will require authorization to debit the debt token from your wallet. You will be prompted to sign an approval request if further spending allowance is required by the strategy contract.
Step 4: Confirm the repayment
With the repayment amount selected, you can execute the changes by selecting the "Repay More" 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 5: View new collateral amount
Once the repayment has been executed, notice that the position's key metrics have been adjusted according to the debt token that was repaid:
Net Value: Increases by the amount of debt repaid.
Debt Value: Decreases by the USD value of the debt tokens repaid.
Health Factor: Increase as the debt value decreases relative to collateral value (which is unchanged).
Liquidation Price: For this long position, the liquidation price decreases as the position's leverage decreases.
Leverage Multiplier: Viewable on the "Change Leverage" tab, the position's leverage decreases as the position's debt obligations are reduced.
