You've enabled margin. Here's what happens next.

Your first margin trade on Kraken Pro puts you in full control.
On any trade, you’ll see:

✅ Exact cost
Locked at entry, updated every 4 hours. No surprises.

✅ Liquidation price
Where your position auto-closes. Set a stop-loss above or below
it to manage your position and protect against liquidation.

✅ Margin health
The distance between your position and liquidation. It moves in
real time so you always know where you stand.

Nothing is hidden. Nothing changes after entry.

Start small, go bigger when you're ready, and adjust or exit at
any point.
