Notes
- Alert notifications are sent once every 4 hours. If you have already received a notification within the past 4 hours, the system will check again and send another notification after 4 hours.
- Under special circumstances, such as extreme market conditions, messages may be delayed. We recommend monitoring changes to your account and positions on the platform in real time and managing risk promptly.

- Liquidation alerts are for risk notification purposes only and cannot completely prevent liquidation. Please manage your position size and leverage appropriately.
FAQs
Q1: Why have I not received a notification after setting a liquidation alert?
A: Please check the following: 1) Confirm that the liquidation alert feature is enabled; 2) Confirm that your margin ratio has reached the configured threshold; 3) Confirm that system notification permissions are enabled; and 4) Messages may be delayed during extreme market conditions, so we recommend checking your position status proactively.
Q2: Can I set multiple alert thresholds at the same time?
A: Currently, the system supports only one alert threshold. You can choose one of 300%, 200%, or 150% based on your risk preference.
Q3: If I disable and then re-enable alerts, will my previous settings be retained?
A: No. When you re-enable the liquidation alert feature, the system automatically restores the default threshold setting (200%). You will need to customize it again.
