Contract Trading | What’s the difference between isolated and cross margin?
In cross margin mode, the entire balance of the corresponding currency in your account backs these positions, so losses can draw on your entire account balance.
Neither mode is absolutely safer: isolated margin has clearly defined loss limits, while cross margin offers more room to weather volatility. It depends on how you plan your funds.
Example coin: $BTC , quoted at 82821.79 (24h -0.27%).
After taking a loss, don’t immediately double down to try to make it back—this often leads to even bigger losses.
