As a trade ages the Net Value of the trade will increase or decrease as the position makes profits or losses.
When a trade is in profit it may be possible for a trader to withdraw some of the collateral used to fund the position whilst still maintaining a sufficient margin between the current market price and the automatic liquidation price. This can be achieved through the Edit Collateral option on each row of the Positions Table.
Similarly, if a trader wishes to maintain an open position on a trade that is approaching a liquidation position then more collateral can be added to the position. This can also be achieved through the Edit Collateral option. By adding more collateral a trader can move the liquidation position so that the trade does not get closed automatically before the market changes direction.
