Increase Position Margin
POST
/v1/perps/positions/margin/increase
Add margin to an open position, denominated in USDC. The floor is the pair's
minMarginAmount (2 USDC). The total margin on the pair after the add must not exceed the
per-pair riskLimit from GET /v1/perps/pairs. A 200 means the margin has landed and
the returned position reflects it. There is no decrease-margin route — reduce the position
instead via POST /v1/perps/positions/reduce.
