When the liability of the currency exceeds the interest-free limit, a forced repayment (FRP) will be triggered. The system will automatically use available equity of other currencies in the account to cover the potential borrowing and make it stay within the interest-free limit. FRP will be executed by selling the positive assets for USDT and repaying the potential borrowing with USDT. For details on the FRP rules, refer to forced repayment mechanism.Published on Dec 3, 2024Updated on Dec 4, 2025Product documentationOKX will update margin calculation rules for the portfolio margin mode
