  Exceeding the margin allowance on Kraken can have serious consequences for your trading. When you exceed the margin allowance, your positions may be automatically liquidated by the exchange. This means that Kraken will sell your assets at the prevailing market price to cover your losses. It's important to note that this can result in significant losses, especially if the market is volatile. To avoid this, it's crucial to closely monitor your margin usage and ensure that you stay within the allowed limits.

  If you exceed the margin allowance on Kraken, you may also be subject to additional fees and penalties. Kraken charges a liquidation fee for automatically closing your positions, and you may also be responsible for any losses incurred during the liquidation process. Additionally, repeatedly exceeding the margin allowance can lead to restrictions on your trading account or even suspension. It's important to carefully manage your margin usage to avoid these consequences and protect your trading account.
