# How to Add to a Position in Mixin Perpetual Contracts

Mixin Perpetual Contracts now support position adding.
You can increase the size of an existing position without opening a new one.

# **What Is Adding to a Position?**

Adding to a position means increasing the size of an existing position.

For example:

If you already hold a BTC long position and continue buying BTC in the same direction, this is considered adding to a position.

After adding to a position:

* Position size will increase;
* Average entry price may change;
* Margin usage will increase;
* PnL will be recalculated based on the updated position.

Adding to a position does not create a separate position. It will be merged into your current position in the same direction.

# **How Is the Average Entry Price Calculated?**

After adding to a position, the system will automatically recalculate the average entry price based on both the original and newly added positions.

For example:

* Original position: 1 BTC long at 100,000 USDT;
* Added position: 1 BTC at 110,000 USDT.

After adding:

* Total position: 2 BTC;
* New average entry price: 105,000 USDT.

The system calculates the average price automatically.

# **Why Add to a Position?**

Users may add to a position in the following situations:

* To increase exposure when confident in the current trend;
* To build positions gradually instead of entering all at once;
* To adjust the overall position cost;
* To increase position size while already in profit.

||| Please note: Adding to a position increases both potential profits and risks.

# **How to Add to a Position**

1. Go to **Wallet -** **Trade** - **Perpetual** page;
2. Select the position you want to increase;
3. Tap **Add**;
4. Enter the additional margin amount;
5. Confirm to complete the position increase.

# **What Changes After Adding to a Position?**

After adding to a position:

* Position size increases;
* Average entry price may change;
* Margin usage increases;
* Liquidation price may change;
* Unrealized PnL will be recalculated.

Actual changes depend on:

* Add position price;
* Leverage used;
* Position direction;
* Current market price.

# **Important Notes**

* Adding to a position may increase overall position risk;
* Under high leverage, adding to a position may increase liquidation risk;
* During volatile market conditions, actual execution prices may vary;
* Please manage leverage and position size carefully according to your own risk tolerance.
