What’s the difference between isolated and cross margin?
In cross margin mode, the liquidation price is generally farther from the current price, but if you get liquidated, you could lose most of the margin in the relevant asset.
With isolated margin, you can add or reduce the margin for that position yourself. Adding margin can move the liquidation price farther away.
The most important thing to remember when managing positions: check the margin mode for the trading pair before opening a position. Don’t wait until liquidation to find out you’re using cross margin.
