$BTC Contract selection “cross margin,” and the risk limit will also be raised by the additional collateral you add later.

Small example: Suppose your contract wallet has 1,000 USDT. You open a BTC position with a notional value of 1,000 USDT at 10x leverage. The initial isolated margin for this isolated position is about 100 USDT. For now, ignore trading fees, funding rates, and the maintenance margin tiers. If the market turns against you and you manually add another 50 USDT, the liquidation price will be farther away, but this trade’s margin risk budget increases from 100 to 150.

Cross margin is different: the account’s available balance jointly supports positions. A floating loss on one position may consume the buffer of other positions. The point of isolated margin is to separate and isolate the position collateral—it’s not to make high leverage automatically safer.

Three steps you can follow: Before opening, confirm “isolated margin.” Write down the maximum collateral you’re allowed to allocate per order—for example, 150 USDT. Once you reach the limit, don’t add more. Set a stop-loss based on an acceptable loss, and don’t treat the liquidation price as the stop-loss.

Will you write the “maximum additional margin” into your trading plan?
