# How to adjust your leverage / how to reduce your Liquidation Brake

Adjusting your leverage, suppose you already have an opened xPOSITION. You should see your xPOSITION on the Trade page in the middle left section called “My xPOSITION”.\
Ensure the correct wallet is connected to the dApp if you don't see it.

There are two ways of adjusting the leverage of an xPOSITION. You can modify it without changing its nominal value or top up to your position with a different leverage.

> To lower your Liquidation Brake threshold, simply reduce your leverage using one of the two options below. You can reduce it by adding to your position with a lower leverage.
