Opening & Managing Positions

Angle lets you open long collateral/stablecoin leverage positions. This means that if the protocol accepts USDC as collateral, and can issue agEUR, users can open USDC/agEUR long positions, betting that the USD will increase in value against the EUR.
You can read more about this mechanism here.

Opening a position
1.To open a long position on Angle, click on the + Open Positionbutton and choose a collateral/stablecoin pair.
2.Then, select the amount of collateral you want to send to the protocol as margin for your position. Positions in Angle work similarly than isolated-margin exchanges, where margin is separated between positions.
3.Now, you can choose your position size or leverage. This is the amount of underlying tokens you will be exposed to. NB: leverage in Angle is computed as margin + position sizemargin\frac{\texttt{margin + position size}}{\texttt{margin}}marginmargin + position size​
​
4.The collateral/stablecoin exchange rate and transaction fees are displayed. Note that the net initial margin of your position will be your initial margin input minus fees.
5.Clicking the Open position button will prompt you to confirm the transaction. The margin will be sent to the protocol and the leveraged position will be opened.
6.While it is opened, your position will automatically accrue ANGLE rewards.
If this is the first time opening a position on this collateral/stablecoin pair, you will need to approve your tokens with a transaction or a signature first.
Be careful when opening a position, updating and closing is locked for an hour. More info here.

Updating a position
If you have open positions, you might want to add or remove margin to some of them. Doing so will update your leverage and change your liquidation price. There is no fee for updating the margin of a position.

3.You will find current and updated info about your position.
4.Then, just confirm the transaction and it will send/withdraw the amount of collateral that was specified.
5.After the transaction is confirmed, you can go back to the Positions page to see your updated position.
Closing a position
1.To close a position, click on the Close button of the positions you would like to close.
