# Adding margin to an open position

There are two ways to add margin to an open position:

**1) From the chart**

Grab the Liquidation line and move it to add margin. \
If you're adding to a long trade, move the line down. \
If you're adding to a short trade, move the line up.\
Adding margin to an open position will lower your current leverage while your position size will remain the same.

**2) From the Edit modal**

To add margin to your position click on the "Edit <img src="/files/kEWjmEvwYAHuCBqjsjYR" alt="" data-size="line">" button. \
In the pop-up window select "Add" and type the amount you want to pay.

Use the drop down menu to choose which stablecoin you want to use to add margin. You don't have to pick the same token used to open the trade.\
Once you have set your parameters click the "Add" button.  <br>

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.kaze.fi/tigris/fees-and-trading-guide/adding-margin-to-an-open-position.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
