Margin Warnings & Risk Management

What margin warning emails mean and how to enable them, plus core risk-management principles for leveraged trading.

Margin Warning Emails

Yellow.pro sends margin warning emails when your margin ratio rises above a warning threshold — before it reaches the 100% liquidation point. It's an early alert giving you time to act.

What to do when you receive one

Act immediately. A margin warning can escalate to liquidation within minutes.

  1. Log in at yellow.pro.

  2. Check your margin ratio and open positions in the positions panel.

  3. Add funds — in cross margin this immediately increases the buffer for all positions.

  4. Reduce exposure — partially or fully close at-risk positions, place stop-losses, or lower leverage.

  5. Monitor until the situation stabilises.

How to enable margin warning emails

Margin warnings are sent to the email linked to your account. Your email is never linked automatically — no matter how you signed in, you must link it manually. Until you link and verify an email, no margin warning emails are sent.

To link it, go to yellow.pro/settings → Linked Socials → Link next to Email, then verify it.

Linking an email to receive liquidation and margin-warning notifications

If you haven't linked and verified an email, you will not receive any margin warning alerts — regardless of your login method. Link one as soon as possible.

Risk Management Basics

Effective risk management is the difference between long-term trading and rapid account depletion.

  1. Only risk what you can afford to lose — set a max risk per trade and per session.

  2. Use stop-loss orders on every position — set them before opening, at the level where your thesis is wrong (not at the liquidation price).

  3. Control your leverage — beginners 1x–3x, intermediate 3x–10x, advanced 10x+ with strict controls.

  4. Size positions appropriately — risk only a small percentage (e.g. 1–2%) of your balance per trade.

  5. Monitor your margin ratio — below 50% is generally safe; 75%+ is high risk; 100% triggers liquidation.

  6. Don't chase losses — avoid revenge-trading after a loss.

  7. Take profits regularly — unrealized profit isn't yours until you close.

  8. Understand the market — know volatility, key levels, and upcoming events.

  9. Keep a trading journal — record entries, exits, size, leverage, and reasoning.
