When you click on the 100% option, your max collateral amount will be estimated based on your free collateral and Open pos. fees.
{% endhint %}

As you can see in the image below, the Free Collateral is \~$6.55. However, when choosing 100%, the amount of collateral in the input box is \~$6.54. The $0.01 decrease is due to deduction from Open Position Fees.
