AI-assisted interpretation
The following is analysis, separate from reported facts. Verify important claims independently.
Leverage determines how large a position users can control with a smaller amount of margin; margin tiers specify the margin conditions that positions with different notional values must satisfy. This adjustment means that the maximum available leverage or maintenance margin requirements for the relevant contracts may change. Users holding relevant positions or running contract grid strategies need to check before the planned adjustment whether their positions and strategies still meet the new conditions.
Why it matters to readers
The parameter changes will directly affect the margin required for positions in the relevant contracts and the leverage available. The original text explicitly notes that existing positions will be affected and states that some contract grid strategies may be terminated; therefore, relevant users may need to adjust their positions or strategies.
If you are not trading these Ⓢ-M perpetual contracts, the original text does not state that you will be directly affected; if you are trading them, you should closely check the latest leverage, margin requirements, and grid strategy status for the contracts you hold.
