How Does the Maximum 10x Leverage Rule Affect Positions I Already Had Open?

Positions you opened on BAT, FIL, or ZRX before the 10x leverage cap applied to that pair keep the leverage level you originally selected, even if it sits above the current 10x maximum. This is a grandfathering rule, not a retroactive one: Pluang does not force down the leverage on a position you already hold, and any Take Profit or Stop Loss orders already attached to that position remain fully valid and unaffected. The cap only governs new leverage selections going forward, on new orders placed after the pair became capped. If you add margin to that same position on the same contract without changing its leverage, the added amount inherits the same leverage as the rest of the position, keeping your overall exposure consistent under one ratio. The one exception is closing the position entirely: once a grandfathered position is closed, reopening it on a capped pair means the new position follows the current 10x maximum, not your prior leverage.

How the grandfathering works:

• Only BAT, FIL, and ZRX are affected — if your position sits on any of Pluang's other 46 active Crypto Futures contracts, this rule has no bearing on you at all.
• Take Profit and Stop Loss orders already placed on a grandfathered position remain fully valid and are untouched by the leverage cap.
• The cap only governs new leverage selections going forward — it never retroactively lowers the leverage on a position you already hold.
• Maintenance margin still follows the contract's current highest leverage tier (10x for these three pairs), not your original leverage.
• Closing and reopening resets the clock: a new position on a capped pair always follows the current 10x maximum, regardless of what leverage you used before.

Q: Will my Take Profit and Stop Loss orders still work on a grandfathered position?
Yes. TP/SL orders already placed on these positions stay in effect and aren't touched by the 10x leverage cap. The cap only restricts what leverage you can select on new orders for BAT, FIL, or ZRX going forward; it doesn't reach back and cancel, modify, or reprice orders tied to a position you already opened at a higher leverage level, so your existing risk-management setup keeps working exactly as configured.

Q: What happens if I add more margin to an existing position without changing leverage?
The added amount inherits the same leverage as your original position, so the whole position stays consistent under one ratio instead of splitting into two tiers. You don't end up running a mixed position with two different leverage levels on the same contract — it simply scales up proportionally.

Q: Does the 10x cap apply to every Crypto Futures pair on Pluang?
No. Only BAT, FIL, and ZRX are capped at a maximum of 10x leverage; the other 46 of Pluang's 49 active contracts still support up to 25x. The cap is contract-specific, so it has no effect on any other contract you hold.

Q: If I close and reopen a capped position later, does it keep my old leverage?
No. A new position on BAT, FIL, or ZRX follows the current maximum of 10x leverage regardless of what you used before closing it. Grandfathering only protects a position that stays open continuously, even if closed only briefly.

Q: Does the leverage cap change how maintenance margin is calculated on my grandfathered position?
Yes, in one respect — maintenance margin is always calculated from the contract's current highest leverage tier, which is 10x for BAT, FIL, and ZRX, not from your original higher leverage. This applies whether or not your position is grandfathered, so check your margin ratio periodically.
