Cross Margin vs. Isolated Margin
Cross Margin Mode
In Cross Margin mode, all trading pairs share the same margin pool. If liquidation occurs, all assets in the account may be liquidated.
Isolated Margin Mode
Each trading pair has an independent position with isolated margin. Profits, losses, and margin ratios are calculated separately. If one position is liquidated, it does not affect other positions.
Differences Between the Two
- Cross Margin: All account funds are used as margin and shared across multiple positions. It can be likened to putting all eggs in one basket. If the margin is insufficient, all positions may be liquidated, resulting in a total loss of account funds.
- Isolated Margin: Each position has its own margin, and profits/losses are independent. It is like placing eggs in separate baskets. If one basket falls, the others remain unaffected.
How to Choose the Best Margin Mode in Futures Trading
- Cross Margin is suitable for hedging strategies and is often used by institutions or experienced traders for risk management.
- Isolated Margin is ideal for short-term traders and beginners, as it limits losses to a specific position, making risk control easier to implement.
