  Yes, it is possible to modify the leverage on BitMEX while having an open position. You can adjust the leverage by going to the 'Positions' tab on the BitMEX trading platform and selecting the position you want to modify. From there, you can change the leverage by adjusting the slider or entering a specific leverage value. It's important to note that changing the leverage will not close your position, but it may affect your margin requirements and liquidation price.

  While I can't speak specifically for BitMEX, I can tell you that on BYDFi, another popular cryptocurrency exchange, it is possible to modify the leverage on open positions. This allows traders to adjust their risk exposure and manage their positions more effectively. It's always a good idea to check the platform's documentation or reach out to their support team for specific instructions on how to modify leverage on BitMEX.
