# Collateral/Leverage management

The trader can add more collateral in the Order Entry & Margin Overview, which will decrease leverage and push out the liquidation price. Conversely, Increasing Leverage will result in a tighter liquidation price but can free up the collateral for other positions if desired. This is a very useful feature for advanced traders that use cross-margin and also to help risk management your position for avoidance of a precocious liquidation.
