# What would cause a margin order to be liquidated?

When making margin orders, Betoken takes out loans backed by collateral. If the ratio of collateral to debt (the collateral ratio) is too low, the loan platform (Compound) will liquidate the loan, which entails the loss of the collateral.

To prevent liquidation, you can top up an order's collateral in the portal. This action does not require additional staking of Kairo.

You can monitor your collateralization status for each order on the [Manager investments tab](https://betoken.fund/portal/#/investments).
