# Add/Remove Extra Collateral

To prevent a position from getting liquidated, you can add extra collateral to the position. This will act as a support cushion helping maintain a position's debt ratio. However,  the extra collateral will not be included in the LP and will not affect your PnL.

#### How to add extra collateral

1. Visit Your Position page
2. Select the position you want to add extra collateral
3. On position detail box, click **"+".** A modal will pop up.
