# Automated Leverage Management

Our oldest and still most popular option, Automated Leverage Management allows anyone to configure:

* Partial unwinding (auto-repay) of their position in case it drops below a certain threshold,
* Automated leveraging up (auto-boost) in case it goes above a user configured threshold, 

This option is typically used as liquidation protection, or as a way to maintain a constant leverage position.

To activate Automated Leverage Management, please follow these steps:<br>
