Big size is its own risk
Perp exchanges (Binance, Bybit, OKX and others) don't use one flat maintenance margin — they use brackets that step up as your position notional grows. Scaling a winner up can silently bump you into a higher-margin tier where liquidation sits closer to entry, so adding to a position isn't always adding safety. The brackets below are a representative BTC-style USDⓈ-M schedule; your exchange's exact numbers vary by asset. See the base case on the maintenance margin calculator and the resulting price on the liquidation calculator.
