What is Cross Margin Pro?
Mode | Cross Margin Classic | Cross Margin Pro |
Margin Type | Cross Margin You’re able to switch to the Cross Margin Pro mode if the Collateral Margin Level in the Classic mode is above 1.25. | Cross Margin You’re able to switch back to Cross Margin Classic if the Collateral Margin Level (in the Classic mode) is above the Initial Risk Ratio. |
Leverage | Fixed at account level, 3x or 5x | Leverage and borrow amount are set according to the loanable coin’s risk bracket. The maximum leverage is 10x. Assets with higher leverage have lower borrowing limits, whereas those with lower leverage possess higher limits. |
Margin Level | Total Asset / (Total Liability + Interest) | ∑Net Equity / ∑Required Maintenance Margin *Please refer to the calculation example under the “Example” section. |
Liquidation Margin Level Trigger Threshold | Margin Level ≤ 1.1 (Cross Margin 3x and 5x leverage) | Margin Level ≤ 1.0 (Cross Margin Pro mode) |
Borrowing Limits | Tiered, based on VIP level | Tiered, based on VIP level and tiered position Due to a lower Initial Margin requirement, the Cross Margin Pro mode enables higher capital efficiency. |
Collateral Margin Level Impact | Only the maximum borrowing amount and the maximum transfer-out amount are impacted. Liquidation is not affected by asset haircut. | Only the maximum borrowing amount and the maximum transfer-out amount are impacted. Liquidation is not affected by asset haircut or collateral margin level. |
How are the Cross Margin Pro Margin Level and Collateral Margin Level calculated?
Parameter | Calculation | Description |
Cross Margin Pro Margin Level | ∑Net Equity / ∑Maintenance Margin | The account’s total net equity divided by the total Maintenance Margin. |
∑Net Equity | ∑Asset - ∑(Liability + Interest) | Total asset value minus total liability and outstanding interest of the Cross Margin account (in USDT). *Total refers to the summation over all tokens. |
∑Maintenance Margin | ∑Loan amount in USDT * Maintenance Margin Rate Note: The Maintenance Margin Rate (MMR) for a particular token can be found here. | Total amount of Maintenance Margin (in USDT). *Total refers to the summation over all liability tokens. |
∑Initial Margin | ∑ Loan Amount * Initial Margin Rate Initial Margin Rate (IMR) = 1 / (Leverage - 1) | Total amount of Initial Margin (in USDT). *Total refers to the summation over all liability tokens. |
Available Margin | Max (∑Net Collateral - ∑Initial Margin, 0) | Available margin is used to determine the additional maximum borrowing amount. |
Collateral Margin Level | ∑Collateral Value / Total Liability | Collateral value refers to the asset value with haircut. |
∑Net Collateral | ∑Collateral Value - ∑(Liability + Interest) | Collateral Value refers to the asset value with haircut. |

When can I switch to the Cross Margin Pro mode?
If the Collateral Margin Level of your Cross Margin Classic mode is above 1.25, you can switch to the Cross Margin Pro mode. If you're not eligible for switching, you’ll see an error message. You are only allowed to switch 5 times per day between different modes.
