Managing Your Positions

Managing Your Positions

Once you've borrowed, this section is how you run your book day-to-day: monitor risk, move capital between venues, withdraw, stake, and stay ahead of margin calls. Most live-position operations are requested through your Telegram support bot.

The operating model in one picture

Your positions live in two kinds of accounts, grouped under Account Clusters for cross-margin:

• Margin Accounts (MA) — on-chain smart-contract accounts holding your collateral + borrowed capital. You trade whitelisted DeFi protocols directly from these via WalletConnect.

• CEX / Perp-DEX Sub-Accounts (SA) — dedicated trading accounts opened for you on centralised exchanges and perpetual DEXs under Arkis's master brokerage account.

Two ways to act on them:

You do it yourself (Portal)	Arkis does it for you (Telegram support bot)
Borrow more, add collateral, repay/close	Move funds between venues (MA↔SA, SA↔SA)
Trade DeFi via WalletConnect	Withdraw to your whitelisted wallet
Monitor Health Factor & analytics	Stake / unstake spot positions
Top up a Margin Account directly on-chain	Open / close additional sub-accounts
Manage team & API keys	Update margin-call alert thresholds, request reports

Note Anything that moves assets across venues, off-platform, or into staking runs through the support bot in your designated Telegram group — see The Telegram Support Bot. The portal is for on-chain actions you sign yourself.

Account Clusters & Health Factor

An Account Cluster is the unit of risk management. It groups multiple Margin Accounts and CEX Sub-Accounts across networks into a single cross-margin portfolio.

• Leverage is allocated per-Market into individual Margin Accounts, but your Health Factor is calculated at the cluster level — positions across venues offset each other.

• A long leg on-chain and a short perp on a CEX in the same cluster are evaluated as offsetting, improving your Health Factor. This is what makes delta-neutral and carry strategies capital-efficient on Arkis.

Health Factor (HF) measures collateralisation safety of the cluster:

HF	Meaning
Well above 1.0	Healthy
≈ margin-call threshold (e.g. 1.05)	Margin Call warning — top up now
≈ 1.0	Liquidation territory

Tip Because HF is a cluster metric, you can improve a weak account by adding a sub-account to its cluster, transferring a Margin Account to a healthier cluster, or merging clusters — without closing positions. See Health Factor, Top-Ups & Alerts.

The Open Positions page (your control panel)

Navigate to Borrow → Open Positions (or click Manage Positions). For each cluster you'll see total value, Health Factor, borrow asset, borrowed amount, margin balance, accrued interest, PnL, and creation date — clusters are sorted lowest Health Factor first so risk surfaces immediately.
