What is Auto Top-up?

When a margin call is triggered, the Auto Top-up function automatically transfers assets from your Spot Wallet to your Margin Wallet to top up the Margin account.

Please note:

  • Using Auto Top-up can lower your liquidation risk, but may also amplify your liquidation losses when the market fluctuates sharply.
  • When there’s insufficient balance in your spot wallet, Auto Top-up will fail and you may suffer a loss.
  • Due to extreme market movements, the margin level might hit the liquidation ratio immediately after touching the margin call ratio. Your positions might get liquidated before Auto Top-up can be performed in this case. You are strongly advised to monitor the margin level closely to avoid losses. Binance shall not be liable for any loss incurred.

Cross Margin:

You can select up to three assets in your Spot Wallet. When the risk rate reaches 1.3, the system will use your selected assets to top up your Margin account. You can change the asset order by clicking the arrows on the right.

Isolated Margin:

When a margin call is triggered, the system will automatically use the assets in your Spot Wallet to top up your Margin account. Please note it will first use the quote asset of the margin trading pair to top up, then move on to other available assets in your Spot Wallet.
