# View Risk Settings and Profile

Source: https://developers.bitgo.com/docs/trade-margin-view-risk

## Overview

Once you have funded your collateral account, you can view your risk settings and risk profile.

Your risk profile can help you make trading decisions to prevent a margin call or liquidation. Your risk profile lists your:

* **Net Open Position** - The difference between your total open long positions and your total open short positions.
* **Collateral** - Assets currently in your collateral account.
* **Unrealized Profit and Loss (PnL)** - The current profit or loss on your open positions.
* **Margin Balance** - Assets currently in your margin account.
* **Margin Requirement** - The minimum amount of funds required to maintain your open positions.
* **Margin Utilization Percentage** - The percentage of available margin that you're using for margin trading.

BitGo determines your risk settings limits, which include the following:

* **Total Short Position Limit** - The total amount (in USD) that you can short.
* **Margin Call Percentage** - The percentage at which a margin call triggers.
* **Liquidation Threshold Percentage** - The percentage at which your position falls undercollateralized. If you reach this limit, BitGo automatically closes all your positions at the best available rate.
* **Margin Requirement Percentage** - The percentage that BitGo multiplies your total short position by to calculate your margin requirement.
